<p>I got deferred from Wharton ED... and then they got my hopes up by giving me an interview which I did extremely well at; and I sent in flawless mid-year grades and extra recs and essays/letters as well. But I got rejected from Wharton RD... WHY? If they were gunna reject me anyway... they shouldnt have gotten my hopes up :S</p>
<p>Rejected, Wharton. I'm a bit sad. If all goes well with the financial aid I might be going to UVA. It's a good school and has a good undergrad business program (McIntire). BusinessWeek rated it second best in the country (next to Penn :p)...so it's all good. And plus, I really like UVA and Charlottesville.</p>

<p>*General Comments/Congratulations/etc:
i was deferred early and really did not expect to get in regular!!! i am SOO excited and this gives hope to anybody with less than stellar grades - i probably got straight A's only one semester in high school - the rest was full of B's and C's. and I'm asian! (i also got into cornell, but i am going to go to penn duh)
*</p>
<p><em>FOR DEFEREES</em> IF accepted, reasons why you think so, actions you took after being deferred, etc..: i wrote a letter that i sent in february where i declared my love for penn, literally begged for another chance, and updated my senior year ecs. =)</p>
<p>hey guys, im here on vacation, and im posting this: deferred SEAS, rejected SEAS :(</p>
<p>but heres something for you, im not worried, one way or another, i will be in penn's class next year (no not transfering, i will be in it next year), if its the last god damn thing i do.</p>
<p>but yea, lotta people got rejected this year...good to see some nice acceptances though. congrats guys, and to those rejected, you'll do fine in the end. i myself, well, its still penn for me lol, ill cya round guys :)</p>
<p>im gonna appeal their decision, like i had to do with god damn NHS. i dont even know if you can, but i am, and i will damn well make them see the light.</p>
