PEEP 2016

@Dartmouth_21
Thanks

Don’t be discouraged if you didn’t get in. I know of someone who got rejected from PEEP and ended up getting a likely letter for RD at UPenn. I think its because this program is looking for very specific things, not like in actual admission to the school, but if you get in, it probably shows that you have a good shot at getting in.

I got accepted as well. I got a 27 on the ACT, so scores are definitely not everything. I did try very hard on my essay: i explained my upbringing situation and how that has influenced who i am today. I was also accepted in other fly in programs (Pomona and Carnegie Mellon) and this just goes to show that even if you don’t have the most superb scores you shouldn’t feel defeated or incompetent. I am very excited to meet you guys! Penn is my top choice! :slight_smile:

@fgomez98 congrats! see you there :slight_smile:

@fgomez98
When did the Carnegie Mellon results come in?
I also applied there, but I applied for travel assistance so I’m going through a process.
Did you apply for travel assistance?
Thanks

Do you guys want to make a page or something so we can meet each other before UPenn? Btw, what state are you guys from? I’m from TX!

@fgomez98 see you soon! (:

Just curious, did the rejection email say how many people applied to the program?

@salsaofficial
No, it did not

@Cece0499 im from florida!

Does anyone have any information on the program such as the time we should be on campus, and at which building? If you know, please feel free to DM me! Thank you!

@nadiapersona I think that’s in the FAQ questions in the email they sent. :-/

Yeah i applied for travel assistance and they sent me an email confirming that they would pay for the trip! @Shabeezy

@fgomez98
Can you give me your stats so I can estimate my chances for Carnegie Mellon?
I have a 1410 New SAT, and a 31 ACT, a 4.0 UW and a 5.24 W, and I somehow keep getting rejected for these kinds of programs.
I am also a solid essay writer, and I really want to go to Carnegie Mellon

Hi @nadiapersona @Cece0499 I got accepted too! Congrats! Maybe we can create a Groupme and get in contact prior to the program. There are still many other opportunities out there for everyone and school that fly you out once you get accepted. Stay faithful and positive!

@Cece0499 I am from FL!

@Dartmouth_21 SAME! Florida representing! :slight_smile:

Hi guys! New York City representing here! Can’t wait to meet you all!!

@herkar123 @freshb37
Can you guys give me your stats (scores, gpa) to see how much I missed by?

Hey guys! Super excited for this! Does anyone know what the format is gonna be like for the program? I have friends at Penn and I’m wondering if I’ll have time to hang out with them or if they’ll have us booked the entire time
