<p>hey its pennhunter! and hes sad :( sorry again about your rejection man, you really seemed like a great candidate...have y ou heard back from any other schools yet?</p>
<p>^Rejected from Penn? How do you know?</p>
<p>He's a nursing applicant. It's rolling for them and he heard back a month ago.</p>
<p>i believe he was a nursing applicant, and nursing applicants get their decisions earlier than the rest of the applicants. i think....</p>
<p>Ohh. Didn't know nursing did rolling.</p>
<p>it wasn't rolling, everyone just found out the last week in feb. no i still have not heard from Georgetown or Hopkins. i found out the same day as you all. all i can say is you deferres don get your hopes up rd apps went up a bunch this year.</p>
<p>oh i have been lurking on the forums just about every day and not posting so your always welcome to make a shout out to your favorite reject</p>
<p>HUNTER BABY I LOVE YOU I LUUUUURVE YOU</p>
<p>If you were here I'd give you a big wet kiss, but cyber-loving will have to suffice!</p>
<p>XOXO</p>
<p>I still don't understand how Penn could reject a guy from Kansas. Hunter, Penn made a mistake, but you can prove them wrong by kicking ass at Georgetown and transferring here next year.</p>
<p>OK, you guys probably need a new thread for RD decisions. Go nominate someone to make it tomorrow. If not, I will (because I'll be at NIH till 6 anyway and need something to entertain me).</p>
<p>impboy can do it.</p>

[</em>] Why I think I was accepted/rejected/waitlisted: Low GPA/ “class rank”
[*] Other thoughts: This sucks pretty bad :/</p>
<p>You should've been accepted. DAMN PENN. I'm not too upset that I was rejected, but I just don't understand why?? My friends from school have gotten into Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Princeton, but so far NONE at Penn. My bff who got into all four above was waitlisted at Penn!? </p>
<hr>
<p>accepted! stats later :)</p>
<p>arebiter, did you apply ED? Penn really prefers legacies who apply ED. IF you got deferred, then it's a different matter.</p>
<p>venus, sometimes schools will waitlist candidates who are very qualified but they think that they will go to a higher ranking/more selective school ultimately, so they don't waste a spot on them. if they respond to the waitlist, then it gives the school an indication that the candidate is still interested in them and they'll reconsider. it happens. I know of a black girl that got into harvard, princeton, stanford, and columbia but got W/L at penn</p>
<p>So Penn does stuff like WashU? Damn...</p>
