a yield is the percent of admitted students who will actually enroll in a college.
I saw that a couple years ago, when Penn had the record yield, they released yield #s on the 31st. I get the feeling that we’ll get the release in a day or so.
So the Penn Applicant Portal log in page is “temporarily unavailable.” Does this mean updates to our wailist status???
@Esmith1799 I just checked and didn’t get anything, might just be an error?
@ElCapitan33 yes it went away in less than 15 minutes and no new information on my portal… at this point, anything gets my hopes up lol
Listen man, it’s June 1 tomorrow… if there’s nothing up from then I’m calling it… that would mean it has been a full month without anything. It’s truly over then
So we hearing back today…???
As long as they keep the list open, there is still hope. If they close it, it is the end.
Come on Penn, tell us something today
You may pray for a phone call from Penn, any group announcement may not be good news.
@f2000sa I was told it was gonna be an email regardless.
Yes, What I meant is that they will call you if they pick you. Group emailing, or group portal update may be the announcement of the closure of the WL.
They went to the “extended waitlist” early this year
Well it’s after 5 pm their time. Guess we aren’t hearing anything again today.
@Esmith1799 Can we hear back tomorrow, even though it’s saturday?
I think Dean Furda will select one student off the WL this year
I called the other day and the admissions lady said “We still don’t know if we’re pulling from the waitlist yet”
My guess is that means their yield was good and they have their number and are simply using extended waitlist for any summer melt. The right thing to do is to keep a couple of dozen kids on the waitlist, not hundreds. Creating the perfect class is not possible. The rationale that they want to replace an oboe player with another oboe player is weak. Like I said before there needs to be whole scale reform in the waitlist process across all institutions.
@scholar999 Or they’re just playing games with us…
I hope they’re not playing games. That would be cruel.
