<p>3 weeks left.</p>
<p>How far you in the application process?</p>
<p>Part 1= submitted
SSRs (and info for counselor to write in recs)=in (but not submitted)
Teacher Rec 1=handed in (but not submitted)
Teacher Rec 2= to be handed in tomorrow
Part B=done with all except essays </p>
<p>Finished drafts of two essays which are doing the proof read rounds. Hopefully finish that off next week (After SATs) and submit part B by start of the week of 23rd. After that, see that teachers/counselors have handed in everything. I will then finish off the supplemental info (either a research draft or activity sheet) and beam it off to Penn by Nov 1st. </p>
<p>Heres to hoping it all falls into place properly.</p>
<p>It's scary to think that they make decisions in almost 2 min. (I am referring to that one article)</p>
<p>Well the regional representative reads the application in 20 mins and then the pitch and decision is made in 2-5 mins. So yes, our fate for 4 years is determined in 22-25 minutes. 36 days until December 14th (when last year's decisions were released). </p>
<p>I am getting a leprechaun to dance around me on that day as I check my decisions. Please let that be a good, lucky day.</p>
<p>I hope I get an interview!!!!!!</p>
<p>When do they typically schedule interviews? I am in NYC so I know there are enough alumni here.</p>
<p>I am not sure. I think they call you when they want to schedule one.</p>
<p>I am applying ED. I didn't send in Part 1 yet. Is it completely necessary that I do that ASAP?</p>
<p>let's see, </p>
<p>I've sent in part one and the confirmation letter/picture
My teachers/guidance counselor/supp person have all my info and are in the process of writing hopefully uber sexy recs</p>
<p>And for part two I've done pretty much everything except for the two little short answers, and the actual me + Penn = love essay. --Should get on that one. But AH!! I'm so pumped. Penn is gorgeous and seems like a great intellectual but social atmosphere. Work hard, play hard, woo.</p>
<p>Edit: and in response to the question above, I think it's probably a good idea. It shows how early on you've committed >> how interested you are. I mean in the long run it'll end up being a minor detail, but if it could potentially send a more positive message I'd do it just in case.</p>
<p>I have my interview this Saturday.. 2 hours after the SAT2's!</p>
<p>For some reason, I actually did not get a confirmation postcard that they received my part 1. I did hand in my signature form. However, I received the fin aid forms. Did everyone else get their postcard already?</p>
<p>chaotic how did you get the interview infomation? when did you send in your form 1A?</p>
<p>mahras2: I did get a blue postcard from penn saying that my app is complete. I think that means they got form 1A. I got that a little beofre I got my fin aid stuff.</p>
<p>Hmmm...don't think I received that. I need to call them up tomorrow.</p>
<p>BTW> We should definitely hold like a chat on AIM after saturday SATs/SAT IIs.</p>
<p>Yea. It is hard for me to contact penn. I live in the central time zone and I have school when the admissions office is open. When I come home it is closed.</p>
<p>I live in NYC but I go to my internship straight out of school and get out at 7 or so. I should be able to call tomorrow though.</p>
<p>What all do we receive from Penn regarding the status of our applications? According to last years threads, we get a blue card (for form 1A), then we get a yellow card (when everything else is in) and I also think we get our pin numbers as well. Am I leaving anything out?</p>
<p>ahhh less than three weeks...as scary as it is I think it is also a relief to know that by then there is NOTHING more we need to do...or CAN do with the application.</p>
<p>I submitted part I this past Friday but I didn't mail out my signature sheet until Monday...I haven't gotten anything in the mail to confirm that they have gotten Part I, though I did get an email thanking me for submitting it online...</p>
<p>The rest of my application is pretty much done yet not ready to be submitted quite yet... I feel like it will never quite be finished! It feels like the essays can never be completely done...I am also waiting on one teacher rec.</p>
<p>Good luck on SAT's and SATII's! I am taking two on Saturday....yay for being done with the collegeboard! (well for SAT things at least)</p>
<p>I did get the blue postcard. It got stuck inside the Economist. Awesome, so I have that covered.</p>
<p>hey mahras, how long did it take after you submitted the written confirmation letter for the postcard to come??</p>
