I just got an invitation from UPenn to apply to the PEEP program, despite having sent my application almost a month ago haha
Just finished my essay. Has everyone already gotten their letter of recommendation done?
I have. I had my debate coach do it.
@hamiltondebater do you do Policy?
@ptvnicorn I do LD. Do you debate?
@hamiltondebater I did policy freshman year, and switched to a school that didn’t have it. I tried PF and didn’t really get into it after being a policy nerd for so long. so I don’t debate any more
@ptvnicorn haha I also did CX freshman year. oh okay.
Biorocksmysocks I just got my invite too! I didn’t think I’d get one. Not sure why they sent them so late!
My teacher sent my LOR in already. Phew!
HamiltonDebater ptvnicorn I love debate too! I’ve done team policy, LD, and pf, but my favorite is team policy (unfortunately not a lot of colleges have it, though.)
does anyone know the avg number of applicants and ultimately the avg number of applicants who get in?
@hamiltondebater in 2014 426 people applied and 100 got in. that was PEEP’s first year so the number of applications have most likely increased to 2000+. Im gonna assume the number of people chose is between 100-120
@MaybeHarvard2022 thank you for the stats!
In 2015, around 300 people applied and 93 got in.
@MaybeHarvard2022 Where’d you get that info from?
Any program stats (applications, acceptances, etc) for last year, 2016?
Those stats came from Daily Pennsylvanian articles. @ptvnicorn
@Volunteerism I don’t think anyone found stats for last year.
Thanks @kassh4
In 2015
“This year, the 93 attendees were selected from an applicant pool of about 300. Despite receiving 100 fewer applications than last year, Maloy said that this year’s application pool was stronger than before.”
Thus ~400 applications in 2014.
When my S applied in 2014 it was through invite only though. Now that it is an open application I am sure there will be thousands of applicants.
@planner03 Excellent point!
Submitted my application yesterday. Good luck everyone!
