<p>My son received the same email today regarding his placement on the extended waitlist. Does anyone know whether historically Penn has taken students from this waitlist?</p>
<p>Omigod!! Omigod!! Omigod!! I got in!! Omigod!</p>
<p>Just got the rejection email (1PM, California/Pacific) – congrats to those that got in, and best of luck to those still waiting! (:</p>
<p>rejected :(</p>
<p>Did anyone else think the rejection letter sucked? I got waitlisted at Harvard, Princeton, Northwestern and WASHU and every single letter was better than Penn’s. Penn was my number one so that really hurt.</p>
<p>^ rooski11, what did it say?</p>
<p>It says…What did Harvard, Princeton, Northwestern and WASHU’s replies sound like?
Dear XXX,</p>
<p>I regret to inform you that you are being released from the University of Pennsylvania Wait List. We had kept a relatively small number of students on the Wait List in case spaces opened. We now know that we will not be able to offer you a place in the Class of 2016.</p>
<p>Thank you for your interest in Penn. You have my best wishes for continued success.</p>
<p>Sincerely,
Eric J. Furda C’87
Dean of Admissions</p>
<p>^ Same letter :(</p>
<p>Good luck to others and congrats to all who got in :)</p>
<p>That was somewhat of a rude rejection letter for waitlistees from Furda. I would have phrased it a bit differently.</p>
<p>Has anyone heard any news from the extended waitlist?</p>
<p>Has anyone heard? I feel it’s time to give up hope.</p>
<p>My daughter received the email May 31 saying she remains on the extended waitlist. As of today she has heard nothing. We continue to hold out hope, if they had filled the class they would have emailed already. In the end my DD thinks it was a honor to get this far. She is accepted to Villanova and if she is offered a spot at UPenn she will accept it. She is very happy about Villanova however UPenn was her first choice. She was also waitlisted at Johns Hopkins but they once again did not take anyone from the waitlist. </p>
<p>How many still on the extended list?</p>
<p>I was notified today around 3 pm</p>
<p>Notified? What that you are accepted or released from the list?</p>
<p>My daughter is on the extended waitlist. She received a phone call from her admissions counselor yesterday asking if she was still interested in attending Penn. My daughter asked if she was being offered a spot and the counselor did not say yes but said that they would not be calling if they weren’t still considering her. Counselor said that my daughter should expect an email sometime yesterday or over the weekend and that she could set up an appt. to visit the school some time next week if she wanted. No email as of yet…</p>
<p>LMTLMT that sounds promising 
I hope you get the answer your daughter is looking for!</p>
<p>@kikimom yes. i was accepted to CAS</p>
<p>Just FYI and hope this may help - My daughter was called by her regional representative on Monday 6/11 and received the acceptance e-mail on Thursday 6/14; then the official admission package and FinAid info came in mail on Monday 6/18 and Friday 6/22, respectively. In addition to being asked if she was still interested in Penn, which she said she would need some time to consider and then replied with a YES later via e-mail, she was told at the time that “there would very likely be a number of spaces in the Class of 2016 still available”.</p>
<p>According to a recent post on the NYT Choice Forum, Penn expects to admit a total of 45 off the waitlist, whereas 25 were admitted from Harvards, less than 10 from Yales, and 0 for Stanford, Princeton and Columbia.</p>
<p>Best wishes to everybody…</p>
<p>
Do you happen to have a link to the page with that post? I can’t locate it on The Choice site, and haven’t seen anything about that in any coverage of Penn.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
