<p>what are your thoughts about this year’s yield?
do you think you’ll get in?
did you send any additional materials?</p>
<p>just wondering…:D</p>
<p>I am guessing (and Dean Stetson has hinted) that Penn will make use of the waitlist this year. However, the movement will most likely be minimal.</p>
<p>No</p>
<p>Yes</p>
<p>^ I didn't apply to Penn, but yes, Penn is accepting people off their waitlist this year. My friend was notified a few days ago that he was accepted. He sent Penn a letter stating his continued interest in the school, an updated transcript (he's now ranked #1 instead of #4), and another rec letter.</p>
<p>Good luck to you guys! I hope you all hear positive news.</p>
<p>Misoobishi, your friend was notified already??????????
Doesn't Penn start re-evaluating waitlistees in mid-May?
even now is a bit early to be called mid-May...
Can you tell me exactly when your friend got the call???</p>
<p>^ do they start re-evaluating in mid-may, or do they start telling ppl they are off the waitlist?</p>
<p>^^wow, congrats for your friend! did he get into wharton?O_o
how did he find out? phone call?
anyway, to the OP, i dunno about the yield this year.
i sent in additional materials but the lady told me that they just wanted <b>one</b> letter of interest...i sent my stuff(recs, updates etc) in by post and emailed them just in case, but she just told me to attach my letter to Penn by email and send it back to her...so is it all for nothing!? drat.</p>
<p>i sent a letter but tried to make it really creative. hope it helped.</p>
<p>Yes, he was notified...I think sometime over the weekend. I'm not sure if he was called or received a letter, I'll ask him and get back to you on that. They originally gave him until the end of the week to accept his place but he called them and asked for another week (so he could visit the campus again) so he has until the end of next week. And I don't think he applied to Wharton...he's more of a science guy :)</p>
<p>oh my..........i really envy your friend, Misoobishi.
i am who i am, i remember reading on Penn website that Penn will
start using waiting list to fill the spots.. </p>
<p>Misoobishi, did your friend get the news over phone?</p>
<p>is there a deadline to send an updated transcript? i'm thinking there isn't much time because admissions is already picking from the waitlist...which was pretty small this year according to an NJ regional offer. good luck to everyone...we should be getting news verrry soon.</p>
<p>I asked him today, he received a phone call on Sunday night.</p>
<p>It makes absolutely no sense that he'd get a phone call Sunday Night. Admissions offices are closed all day Sunday. Im sensing Troll</p>
<p>To be honest, I too thought he might have been BS-ing at first (I'm pretty sure most offices aren't open on weekends), but I doubt that he'd lie about it and use that as an excuse to go to Penn with his parents next week.</p>
<p>Here are some facts I found looking around the Penn website </p>
<p>"Stetson said he expects about 65 percent of accepted students to matriculate, at the same level as last year, and aims for a class of 2,400 students."</p>
<p>"Acceptance rate for Class of '10 :17.7%...The University accepted 3,622 out of 20,479 applicants -- 13.8 percent of regular-decision applicants and 28 percent of early-decision applicants."
(From the Daily Pennsylvanian- <a href="http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/vnews/display.v/ART/4430c7ba635a8?in_archive=1%5B/url%5D">http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/vnews/display.v/ART/4430c7ba635a8?in_archive=1</a>)</p>
<p>2010:
Wharton: 475 / 3938 = 12.1%
College: 2,261 / 12,999 = 17.4%
SEAS: 775 / 2924 = 26.5%
Nursing: 112 / 391 = 28.6%
(This is from a comment made at the bottom of the article in the Daily Pennsylvanian)</p>
<p>i must be so bored.</p>
<p>I just looked at the letter I received from Wharton, and it said there were over 5,200 applicants to Wharton.</p>
<p>The crazy high yield means that only a very few waitlistees will actually be admitted (I think Stetson said ~20).</p>
<p>my friend got into Penn but he's turning it down to go to Brown, maybe that will help you all?</p>
<p>Best of luck to those waitlisted. When I applied and was waitlisted last year, they didn't go to the waitlist at all. But I was recently accepted as a sophomore transfer student, so always have hope.</p>
<p>juicyfruit, did you apply to the college? the app for transfer is the same as for freshman correct?</p>
<p>According to the Wall Street Journal this morning, Penn will be taking 10-15 off the waitlist for the class of 2010.</p>
<p>According to the WSJ, Penn ranks its waitlist candidates on a 1-4 scale.</p>
