<p>
There will be an article with that information in The Daily Pennsylvanian in the next couple of weeks or so.</p>
<p>@neorobie–
Well, I heard that they wanted a max of 2 pages of additional information, nothing more.
It’s on the FAQ section of their waitlist website.</p>
<p>Choose what you feel is right, but I just wouldn’t want to send things that would make the admissions committee annoyed or something.</p>
<p>@achievingdream–not too sure on any of those. But I’m thinking it’ll be based on how many students are lacking from particular schools (like the engineering school) and then go from there. </p>
<p>Good luck everyone in the future! 
Even if Penn isn’t our alma mater, we’re all going to succeed, I’m sure!</p>
<p>Good Luck everyone!!
I wonder when they will start the process!</p>
<p>^ Last year, posters on CC started getting accepted from the waitlist on May 19th:</p>

<p>Of course, it will depend on how yield shapes up over the next couple of weeks.</p>
<p>riverx: oh crud. i asked my teacher who wrote recs to send in updates. one has a very important update that I hope they read because I was dumb to exclude it.</p>
<p>And guys, what is our housing situation going to be if we get in?</p>
<p>Guys, I feel so proud that all of us are patient troopers right now, haha.
I dunno, I just like the maturity every one of us seems to be having.
Makes me think that those selected already in Penn’s 2016 class must be pretty fantastic people. </p>
<p>Well good luck neorobie! Haha guess we’ll have to wait until AP exams are over for any possible good news (hopefully earlier though!)</p>
<p>I feel though that we would get last pick for housing, just because if we’re accepted late, we’re doing everything else later. Housing would be the least of my problems if accepted, haha, financial aid would be my first priority.</p>
<p>What are you looking into studying neorobie?</p>
<p>Biology… focusing on pre-med so I can get into medical to become a radiologist! And I heard Penn is really good about financial aid even if you are waitlisted -they don’t judge your financial need as one of things to consider while accepting a waitlistee but who knows…</p>
<p>From the Daily Pennsylvanian,
“The yield for both the regular and early decision admits was 63.3 percent this year similar to the yield rate of 62.7 percent for the Class of 2015.”</p>
<p>What does that mean for the waitlist?? :/</p>
<p>
Where did you see that? Do you have a link? I can’t find an article about this year’s yield on the DP web site. 
</p>
<p>[The</a> Daily Pennsylvanian :: Search](<a href=“Advanced Search | The Daily Pennsylvanian”>Advanced Search | The Daily Pennsylvanian)</p>
<p>It’s the first thing on the list, but I can’t access the article.
That was just the abstract from the article.</p>
<p>Hmmm. It must not be ready for posting yet.</p>
<p>We’ll have to see what it actually says–including more specific numbers–before predicting any effects on waitlist activity. It also may contain a quote from Dean Furda about how many waitlisted applicants he expects to take at this point.</p>
<p>Taking numbers into consideration at this point…</p>
<p>Target class size = 2420
Accepted students = 3846
Yield = 63.3%
Number of enrolled students = 2846*0.633 = 2435 students</p>
<p>Considering that they don’t want to go above their target it means that it doesn’t look too optimistic for us. :/</p>
<p>Hopefully they haven’t achieved the target number of students they want in each college and take some of us.</p>
<p>May the force be with us.</p>
<p>Sources:
The Daily Pennsylvanian :: Penn’s overall yield remains constant for fifth consecutive year
The Daily Pennsylvanian :: Admit rate holds steady at 12.3 percent</p>
<p>^ crap, that sucks :(</p>
<p>If they want to admit the same number as last year, then that will be only 32 lucky kids with the golden ticket to Penn. :/</p>
<p>32??? are you kidding me 
Why can’t it be like 200 or something…</p>
<p>what do you mean 32? 32 what?</p>
<p>also, does anyone have any idea when Penn will begin admitting off of the admissions waitlist?</p>
<p>^ Last year, it was around May 19th.</p>
<p>2435(so far matriculated) +32(my number for the waitlist)= will equal how many matriculated last year… </p>
<p>hopefully its more than that because right now, all us waitlisters are looking at a 1.5% chance.</p>
<p>Oh gosh…1.5%?</p>
<p>32/2019 that was put on the waitlist… wait… actually they estimated 60% to stay on the waitlist… so 32/1212… so more like 2.6% chance…</p>
