***PENN REGULAR DECISION DISCUSSION CLASS OF 2019***

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania
181

I always thought the tradition of Ivy day was silly and it would be nice if they broke it this year.

182

They won’t break it…

183

Well, that won’t happen.

184

@abriboi princeton has theirs listed as 3/31 on their website http://admission.princeton.edu/applyingforadmission/application-dates-deadlines

185

The May 1 decision date should be extended then too. It is unreasonable for these colleges to give less than a 2 week notice for students to make flight arrangements for admitted student days.

186

I applied to CAS and I got a LL in the second wave!! I am beyond ecstatic because penn is one of my favorites!!

187

@vomitcom, was there any notation on the applicant portal?

188

@AuntieFascist‌ I got an email, notification on the portal, and they just sent me a Penn Diary in the mail

189

@vomitcom, cool!! Congratulations! I’ve been to Philadelphia a lot on business and to visit relatives and I like it a lot. And, Penn is tough to beat.

190

@AuntieFascist‌ Thank!!!

191

has anyone in the new york area received likely letters?

192

@tshillz‌ I think they’re done sending them out. I know of a few people in NY schools who received some earlier this week. I’m honestly not expecting too much, but I did receive a letter from Columbia yesterday, which felt pretty nice :stuckouttongue:

193

^congrats!!

194

I received a likely letter in NY a few days ago through email and today in the mail @tshillz‌

195

@xxnataliexx‌ @abriboi‌ What are your EC’s and stuff? What do you think made you guys get likely letters?

196

@ilovethecity‌ I honestly have no idea why I got one. I have average EC’s (member of school clubs, volunteered at a hospital, nothing spectacular). 35 ACT, 2170 SAT, around 4.02 WGPA. My only hook is I’m URM

197

I’d also consider your near perfect ACT pretty spectacular…

198

I had the usual 2280SAT/3.8GPA and awards at the state science fair, Intel ISEF, and Model UN. I honestly think what probably put me through was a compelling “Why?” essay, though.

Of course, take what I’m saying with a grain of salt, because I’ve only had a sample size of one school so far (and one that I think has a different vibe/ideology than that of Penn’s).

199

If a student does not get a LL does it mean that he/she did not get into the IVs?? Is March 31st date is a namesake official date only?

200

No
