Good luck to you all!

@benjima also got accepted! i love the idea of a chat :slight_smile:

@Senator18

Those are stellar stats.

IMO the reason you may have not been selected could have been that the incremental value to you (given your PENN summer leadership activities)
would have been much smaller as compared to an alternate, also well qualified, candidate with no prior Penn experience.

PEEP gives high achieving seniors the opportunity to gain exposure to Penn and give them a sense of the incredible resources and opportunities available to Penn students. You already have gained this exposure with your summer leadership activities.

In any case, you should definitely not be discouraged and proceed to apply to Penn per your original plan.

@Volunteerism thanks.
