<p>Though most students have heard a definitive “yes” or “no” from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, more than 2,000 students have received a “maybe” from Penn.</p>

<p>The Admissions Office waitlisted 2,017 students this admissions cycle, continuing a trend of shrinking the waitlist over the past few years. Penn waitlisted 2,400 students last year and more than 3,500 students three years ago.</p>

<p>Penn reported an overall admissions rate of 12.3 percent last week — tied with last year’s total for an all-time low.
