The next few days will be key. Good luck to every one!
After a while, they will release the waiting list, basically ending the hope. For those on the real waiting list, they may ask you to re-affirm that you are still want to be on the list in case there are some opening (some confirmed students drop out etc).
In previous years penn has started using the waitlist on May 5. Anyone else wondering what’s going on?
just heard some one off the Cornell wait list.
I called them yesterday and they’ve said that they’re still reading transfer applications and haven’t gotten to waitlists yet. They’ve said it’ll probably be released in the next couple of weeks.
This is intriguing. In usual situation, schools are fighting for students on the WL as many are on many WLs . That is why the Dean sometimes made the call himself.
It looks like Penn is in no hurry this year.
To everyone speculating about the waitlist acceptances: Why have there been no members added to the fb class group after 5/1?
Could it be because they’ve reached their target class?
@casewestern00 It’s possible but wouldn’t they have released us in that case?
I have a feeling they got a lot closer to their target class than in previous years, so that’s probably why they’re in no rush to accept people off the wait list but I think they’ll start letting people know this week or next week?
Glad to know they haven’t taken anyone off the waitlist yet but I don’t know if I can wait a couple more weeks… so anxious already
It is extremely unlikely that each school has been filled. Some will get off the WL. Good Luck!!
I heard MIT confirmed no one would be taken off wait-list this year.
Unlike MIT, Penn admits by school. So maybe uneven across school.
Hopefully they send more admission offers tomorrow. Best of luck to everyone!
They might be waiting to see what HYP etc does with their waitlists first (e.g. someone gets an offer for Stanford, spot opens up for Penn).
Unfortunately if thats the case, Princeton already released their waitlist today and Yale seems overenrolled from other threads.
@Esmith1799 Two of my friends got into Penn through the waitlist, but it was before the May 1st deadline so I don’t know how indicative that is though. Take it as a grain of salt.
@Angelababy30 Before May 1! Very rare for movement before May 1 unless for special circumstances, maybe they had connections?
@angelababy30 Weird because someone in this said they called Penn and they said they haven’t touched the waitlists yet and have only done transfer applications…
Penn is a no-go. WL acceptances was 40
