@Esmith1799 That’s really weird then. They said they received the update like 2 days before the May 1st deadline. GL to y’all who is still waiting to hear back!

@douglasmouglas wait they’re already done pulling from the wailist?
@douglasmouglas where did you hear that?
No but first round is over
@douglasmouglas why is Penn telling people they haven’t pulled anyone yet then?
I think they will be busy next week because of commencement and transfer decisions come out i think tuesday… maybe after that
I’m going to call Penn tomorrow and see if they can tell me anything
@douglasmouglas Did you called the admission office? I was told that Penn this year’s yield rate is going as expected by my counselor.
@bananas99 Just wondering why would the admission office be busy with the commencement process over doing the waitlist?
Wait…Penn sent acceptances today??
@r8ns8n that’s what I’m trying to figure out
@Esmith1799 I’m trying to comprehend what all of the buzz is about. I didn’t see one person directly post that they were offered admission. I take any one claiming “their friend” was admitted to be a ■■■■■!
@r8ns8n exactly!! I’m waiting for someone to confirm before I get too worried. I’m calling Penn myself tomorrow to try to get some more information. This whole process is so hazy
@Angelababy30 I dont think commencement will directly affect the admissions office (other than Dean Furda not making calls out that day since he’ll be there). Just meant that its a busy time on campus
@Esmith1799 I would not be too worried. The person who said that there were 40 acceptances is most definitely, 100% a tr*ll. I saw the account was created at 9:30 this evening and is going around to the Stanford waitlist as well magically claiming that 25 students were accepted off of the waitlist. Unless this person is the Dean or has family ties with the Dean, I wouldn’t believe it.
@r8ns8n Haha ok I feel better then. This whole process honestly gives me anxiety
I emailed Penn a while ago, and this is what they replied to me on April. 24th: “Should spaces in the class become available, we may turn to the wait list in mid-April, and decisions will be released on a rolling basis through May and June.” I don’t know if the AO meant to type “mid-May” instead of “mid-April” because it was already late April when they emailed me back.
I think that’s just their standard reply because when i emailed by regional counselor about it they said the exact same thing. I emailed at the beginning of april
Where are you planning to attend if Penn doesn’t work out? Are you getting any merit or FA from that place?
I will be attending the University of Michigan Ross School of Business as a direct pre-admit—if Penn doesn’t work out.
