<p>Were the names of the regional officers released yet? I couldn’t find the list on the site and I’d like to contact my regional officer.</p>
<p>yea...does anyone know the name of the new regional director for florida</p>
<p>Thank god i'm not the only one who wants to know! They still have that demcarco dude on the site listed for Florida! i would also be interested in finding out who will be FL rep.</p>
<p>Also-What has been people's experiences with meeting rep or trying to get to know them? If i am going to be one campus again in OCT.- will they make an appointment to see me-- not for an interview-those are done locally-- but do answer my questions and introduce myself? Do you have to really push your way in the door to see someone or are they usually pretty accomadating?</p>
<p>Okay. I ask for help on WHERE to find the names, and people overtake this thread with other questions, who obviously know the answer....:-/</p>
<p>just look on the admis site under CONTACT US</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>I got into Penn over the last admissions cycle, and I think making contact with my regional director really helped me. His name was not on the website because he was new. I had called Penn admissions with a few questions, and the person told me to definitely contact my regional rep, and she gave me his number. I emailed him several times, met him at a presentation in my state, and even visited him once when I was on campus. He was an incredibly cool guy, and if the other reps are like him I'd definitely recommend contacting them if you have questions.</p>
<p>Seems like Penn changes adcom's a lot.</p>
<p>This phenom is not just at Penn.</p>
<p>go to admissions and find "Penn in your town", if your officer is doing a presentation, his name will show up. i also remember seeing the list somewhere else, i will try to find it. </p>
<p>Johnny879, what questions did you turn to your director with? I'd like to contact mine but the questions I have might be answerable by the people in the admission office at Penn.</p>
<p>Seems like they have fast turn-over as compared to other schools.</p>
<p>I asked if one of my SAT II scores was high enough to make me a competitive applicant. He said that there are no cutoffs, but I would be stronger if my score was a bit higher, so I ended up retaking the test and increasing my score by just under 200 points (I was really sick when I took it the first time, and it's hard to concentrate when you have to blow your nose every five minutes).</p>
<p>If you don't have a personal question like this, I would just email and express that you are applying to Penn and are very enthusiastic about the school. This is really straightforward and genuine, and it can only help your prospects.</p>
<p>Just keep in mind that one score is only a small part of the application you are presenting yourself with. There is not a cutoff for any particular student may be stellar in many areas and weak in one......each candidate is an individual.</p>
<p>Yea-- at our intereview and when we make contact with our reps- what are we really supposed to be asking them? I dont want to sound stupid by asking them things i could easily have looked online for and you cant have a whole conversation about I really really really reallly want to go to your school because everyone does! Same at alumni interviews- your advice or suggestions welcome!</p>
<p>I felt the same way at the interview. I knew I should ask some questions, but I really didn't have any since I already researched them all and found my answers. So I just asked personal questions about my interviewer. How'd he like Penn? Where'd he live there? Major? Job opportunities after? Etc, Etc. People love to talk about themselves.</p>
<p>where are u from Johnny- what other advice do you have for us hopefull penn '10ers? about essay- did u apply online or on paper? ed? etc...</p>
<p>ALso- i took the at2 once, and got an 800 on US histry but totally bombed math2c and spanish (it was bad- worse than you're thinking!) i am goign to take the satlit and math1c in oct- isw this adivsable- will they really only consider ur top scores- ? is it bad to take math1 instead of 2 again?</p>
<p>I'm from Colorado, and unfortunately I don't have much advice for all the applicants. Just be yourself and see what happens, I guess. I have no clue what made the difference in my application...</p>
<p>I applied ED to Wharton, and the test I mentioned earlier was the Math IIC, and I bombed it at first as well (I was sick, though). Math is definitely important if you're going for Wharton. I'd definitely encourage you to retake it, though, because you could improve your score dramatically like I did. Get some of those books with the practice tests and take them over and over--that's what I did--and befriend someone really good at math, and you'll do great in no time. Hardly anyone at my school takes SAT IIs, so none of hte teachers could help me. But you can do it on your own if you work hard. Also--BIG THING--learn how to use your graphing calc. I knew every button on the damn thing by the end, and I also learned that you can program in simple formulas like the quadratic formula and stuff. Definitely program in some formulas, because it saves you so much time just to input A, B, and C, get your zeroes and move on with your life.</p>
<p>They say they only look at your top scores, but obviously they can see them all on the scoresheet. However, with the SAT IIs especially, I think big improvements in scores can really show that you dedicated yourself to doing better, and that is a good thing.</p>
<p>I think you can do the IIC test. Study and get those books, and things will just start to click and connect.</p>
<p>I emailed my Regional Officer hoping that I could drop by her office when I was on campus for a tour. However, she never gave me a reply. Now I don't know if I should try to email her again perhaps with a few questions, or would doing that make her feel annoyed?</p>
