Penn ED Decisions: Dec 10th or 15th? Please weigh in.

<p>How will ED applicants know which date decisions are available online?</p>

<p>Currently, all Penn reps seem to be saying that decisions will be available on Wednesday, December 15th. There was nearly a 20% increase in ED applications for the Class of 2015, so it follows that the decision date would be later than last year's. However, decisions did come out on Friday, December 11th last year (at 3:00pm EST). Penn has also historically released its ED decisions on a Friday.</p>

<p>Does anyone know for certain whether decisions will be available on the 10th or on the 15th (or at another time altogether)? If not, please give your opinion as to which date it will be. Also, I read on another thread that the applicant portal will list the date and time of the decision release as December 15th gets closer; is that true?</p>

<p>Thanks- and I apologize for being yet another pestering, overanxious CCer.</p>

<p>I have no idea. lol</p>

<p>Haha- me either, apparently! Does anyone else know…?</p>

<p>one of the athletes on cc was told by a penn coach that decisions will be released on Dec 10th at 3pm. But only the adcoms know for sure.</p>

<p>The exact date and time that decisions will be available will appear on this page before the actual date (trust me, it was there last year :)):</p>

<p>I don’t know whether emails were also sent out to alert applicants to D-Day, but perhaps an ED applicant from last year can chime in on that.</p>

<p>Thank you both!! Very helpful.</p>

<p>I had a friend visit the campus about . . . two weeks ago maybe? And he said that Penn said the decisions would be out on the tenth. [Though I’m not sure if the increased ED volume will change anything.]</p>

<p>From what I’ve read on cc, the consensus is that they will be released on December 10th, at 3PM eastern. They probably tell you December 15th at the info sessions earlier in the fall because of what their website says about ED: “Students who desire Early Decision and who submit their applications by the November 1 deadline will receive a mid-December decision of Admit, Deny, or Defer.” Now, it seems they have decided on December 10th, even with the large increase in early apps. 11 days!!!</p>

<p>10 Days!!!

<p>@coupdefoudre: It’s nice to have information that seems a little more concrete, so thank you! (And nice username!)</p>

<p>I really, really hope that it is the 10th- too much anticipation!</p>

12

<p>i’ll second the athlete post. I was also told it was the 10th by my coach. he really didnt give a time though</p>

13

<p>The abundance of athletes applying ED is really starting to worry me…</p>

14

<p>^What abundance?</p>

15

<p>I must admit that part of me hopes it’s the 15th just so we have the chance to see the most stressed-out of you spontaneously combust.</p>
