Penn waitlist class of 2019

@asiancalikid Yes, but they accepted more people this year than they did last year.

@AliceParker so there’s not much of a chance this year? upenn waitlist acceptances have been p quiet so I’m guessing not many got off :confused:

Has anyone sent udates via e-mail after April, 15th? I thought it was possible to add information to the application after that date, but today I received an e-mail from UPenns that stated that they don’t accept any updates. Maybe I should send to some other address?

@vlad7777 You should have been able to send it in through the applicant portal, there was a document upload page that was open at least throughout April 15th (I’m pretty sure I submitted it in a few days after that date). I believe that you were not allowed to send anything in via email since the document upload was available and only allowed a single document to be submitted.

@vlad7777 which email address did you send it to? and what did the email say exactly? maybe its in the wrong format or something.

@boomboom123 @silmaril I’ve sent the form, I just wanted to send some more updates. So it’s OK.
The e-mail address is info@admissions.upenn.edu, the e-mail read as follows:
Hello Vlad,

The deadline for waitlist update submissions was April 15th. At this time, we are unable to accommodate additional documents.

Regards,

When did you send the email update in? Maybe they had already started reviewing applications when you tried to send the update and didn’t want more application stuff.

Has anyone heard back during these last days? Has anyone been rejected?

No…Haven’t been accepted yet! :slight_smile:
The first wave of waitlist applicants accepted last two years and last year was on 18th and 13th May respectively, so I was expecting to hear from them by today. I hope they’re gonna reach out to us this week, God willing, with good news! :slight_smile:

I JUST CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR FROM THEM! This is killing me! I really want to go to PENN! I just want to know if they will or won’t let me in!

I JUST GOT OFF THE WAITLIST! I got the call today and am waiting to get my financial aid package within the next few days. Holy crap

@Dylan17 Congrats!!! Did they call your home phone or the school?

@asiancalikid Thanks dude! And they called my house phone, it was actually while I was at school so my mom texted me saying I needed to call the admissions office back because they needed to tell me something (she didn’t know what but had a very good idea haha) so I stepped outside of class and called and then found out and freaked and told everyone, it was crazy hahaha

@Dylan17 Congrats!! What school did you get into? (i.e. CAS, Wharton, SEAS, or nursing)

@mirmir123 Got into SEAS

@mirmir123 (as a Materials Science and Engineering major)

@Dylan17 What did you send to the admissions office? Also, can you post ur stats, ur region, ur ethnicity, etc?

My son got a little strange call today from UPenn… They asked him is he was still interested and and if he had any updates… That’s it! No “yes”, no “no”… Does anybody know what it means? Anything? Nothing?

What did he answer? prob good sign.

@boomboom123 UPenn is his choice #1 and a dream school, so he certainly said he was still very interested, but he had no updates since the last update he sent after excepting a spot in the waiting list. Than they just thanked him for his time! I hope you’re right and it’s a good sign, we shell see…
