Penn Waitlist 2022

Who’s accepting their spots?

Me. Waitlisted at 5 schools. Idk how my heart can handle this, but I’m gonna try.

Penn has been one of my top schools and I really wanna get in, what action are you taking to try and get off the waitlist?

Me. I wonder how many spots there will be for us. I hope more than 100!

Me. Waitlisted at three other schools too ughhhh

I was waitlisted as well.

People do get pulled from the wait list,how many I do not know. I wanted to tell you however that it is not over until it is over. Some people do have their offers rescinded, and others elect not to go after all. In my case I was accepted last year to Brown, Williams, Rice, Georgia Tech, and UPenn, Cornell waitlisted me. Now here is the deal, I could only pick one. So I declined the Cornell wait list, and chose UPenn. By doing so that should have freed up spots at Brown, Williams, Rice and Georgia Tech for people to come off the wait list. There are lots of stories just like that every year. As and aside I would like to remind you of a story that happened at Harvard last year. Ten student who were accepted had their offers rescinded. Think about that,Ten people now had a opportunity to come off that wait list and attend Harvard. So remember it’s not over until it is over. http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2017/6/5/2021-offers-rescinded-memes/

Is the optional applicant update form also due by April 11?

Ballin2022 is April 11th the last day we can submit additional info? Where did that date come from?

Unlike Columbia, Penn doesn’t say anything about whether or not it’s okay with students sending in an additional letter of recommendation. What are people’s take on this?

Are Waiting Lists Out of Control?

“The figures on waiting lists raise questions – especially to those who work with high school seniors. Some say the lists simply shouldn’t be so long. Others say that colleges should publicize how many students are placed on the lists – and the very long odds of anyone on them being admitted.”

@f2000sa I would love to see them start publicizing how many students are placed on the lists. It only makes sense to me, what makes no sense is the excessive number of people placed on the list to begin with.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people on the list are for courtesy only. Only the people on the real list have some chance.

This is why colleges have over-admits & waitlists. She can only attend one of the 19.

Waitlisted with a 1300 SAT / 4.65 GPA miracles do happen lol!

waitlisted

Getting off the waitlist really depends on who accepts their offer May 1. If Penn sees that there are not enough female chemists from NY attending, and you fit those criteria, yay! If you’re from somewhere else or want to be an engineer, however, you’re probably not getting that offer of admission.

How do you know if you’re on the “real” list?? @f2000sa

@JCJ1199 You don’t xd

@JCJ1199 You will know some time next month if they admit you or ask you whether you still want to be on the list.
