*Penn Class of 2020 Early Decision Discussion*

The English language sucks at being a functional language

LET US BOYCOTT ENGLISH
This is what happens when I am writing my BU supplement lol

Perhaps we could compromise and just boycott AP English classes?
@TheWaffleMan149 And I have to do my BU supplement too.

Anyone have their interview yet?

I just had my Skype interview, but it only lasted 23 minutes. Should I be worried because some applicants said that they aimed for 30-45 minutes? but that might have been in person.

Had my interview last Sunday. They contacted me on 11/3, and I turned in my application on 10/28. I live in the Los Angeles area though, so there is a pretty high cluster of Penn alumni in the area. As for the interview, he asked me like five questions and spent the rest of the time giving advice. I’m applying CAS ED by the way.

Just had my interview. I think it went very well. Towards the end she said I was a very intelligent young man and she would write about me in a positive light to the university. We talked about a lot of things, but I was talking at breakneck speed so it ended in about 30 minutes.

If my interview was an hour and a half… do you think I talked too much? My interviewer talked a lot too, but the majority of the conversation was 30% Penn, 70% random topics. :-/

Just had my interview. Lasted about an hour and a half.

Wow… you guys have a lot of time on your hands! I spent most of my day off doing homework :frowning: I’m just about ready for second term…

Longer the interview, is always a good sign - unless you talk #*&@?

If the interviewer finds interest in you and can have an intelligent discussion, thats always a very good sign.

Do they always assign an interviewer from the same school (Wharton, CAS, etc) you applied as?

they try to @girl1425

Lol @my parents telling me to forget about this until the decision comes out…

I can’t help but think that there is literally a month (at least) until we receive the decisions.

Guys LOL @ what I said about having all As first quarter. 83 on my microecon test. My lowest test score like ever if we pretend physics didn’t happen. Also it’s 11:10 and I still haven’t touched my hw. Anyone else have a severe case of senioritis?

LEGIT SAME!

Yeah I wish I could voluntarily send my first quarter grades… but nah lol not now

@emilyskates haha ABSOLUTELY. I think I’m putting in about 25% of the effort I usually do. Still clinging to As for now, but I still have 2 weeks and 6 trimester exams to get through, so there’s plenty of time for me to mess up everything. Also physics was the absolute worst. I think I have borderline PTSD from that class.

When I mean severe senioritis, I mean I don’t write in my planner, I’m on page 1 of Catch-22 (supposed to be finished tomorrow), on Monday wrote an essay on the metamorphosis (which I didn’t read), I’m constantly doing English hw during lunch and I get lectured by my friend for doing that, I do most of my homework during AP Gov while we’re supposed to be taking notes (lol my friends are always like why are you writing so much it’s a TITLE SLIDE), and I spent all day agonizing over a tv show. I’m falling apart…I really do hope I get accepted somewhere early
