<p>If I have a 800 on writing for the first 2 SATs but average reading and maths, and in Oct. I got 740 on CR and 800 on Maths, but I also got a 670 on writing. Would that hurt my SAT scores in general or Penn will just take the best composite: 2340? Thanks!</p>
<p>^youre worrying about a few points…just relax</p>
<p>when will decisions come out, traditional dec 15th or 9th like last year?</p>
<p>^ As I recall, the tradition for the last few (at least two) years has been to release early decisions on or around the second Friday in December (e.g., December 9, 2011), and not around the 15th. No reason to think that won’t be the case this year.</p>
<p>Dec 1 is a Saturday; consequently, the second Friday in December 2012 is the 14th.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I suspect that it will be earlier than the 14th–the web site says “Early December”:</p>

<p>It might be Friday the 7th, or else not on a Friday. My best guess would be Friday the 7th or Monday the 10th, give or take a day.</p>
<p>any idea what time decisions are released?</p>
<p>Hey guys! Just sent in my application for Wharton ED - pretty psyched.
What is this I hear about a Penn Portal? Was I supposed to sign up or something?</p>
<p>I really wish they would just give us a date. I’d like to stop worrying. I’m really hoping for Dec. 7th-10th because if Penn rejects/defers me I’ll have time to submit applications to other schools. </p>
<p>@manutd1234: I believe Penn will contact you via email with the information necessary to sign up for the Portal.</p>
<p>Wooo! Count me in :)</p>
<p>I just submitted my app last night and subsequently found a small mistake this morning. But it’s not a huge deal. Good luck to everyone.</p>
<p>i submitted mine last week (fathersonholyghostamen) Nursing.</p>
<p>anyone else applying vagelos ED? i’m so nervous…</p>
<p>Good luck y’all! Hopefully the extended deadline will help those of us who like to procrastinate ;)</p>
<p>I just got my PennPortal info today… so exciting :D</p>
<p>Applying Ed cas bio major!! Just submitted my app today!!! So nervous!</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>I’ve submitted my app, but my teacher still hasn’t mailed in my letter of recommendation. The letter has to be postmarked by Nov. 6, right?</p>
<p>Submitted everything but the counselor’s end of the ED agreement (no school this week because of Sandy). Anyone know when that must be submitted by?</p>
<p>I was actually wondering about the same thing…commonapp allowed you to submit your Penn ED supplement and app without your counselor’s ED agreement done btw?</p>
<p>@stoneherring: yup, it has to be postmarked by the 6th. I believe it’s the deadline for the counselor’s end as well.</p>
<p>Random!topic switch: who else has been contacted by an alum for an interview? I submitted my application to Penn a few days ago and was surprised to have been so quickly contacted.</p>
<p>^That’s awesome! Good luck, from a fellow ED applicant :)</p>
<p>When did you submit your app? And if you don’t mind sharing, what region are you from? I submitted my app a few days ago too, but no messages from alumni interviewers thus far.</p>
