<p>So if Upenn doesn’t work out, where are you guys off to? UC Berkeley for me :(</p>
<p>Hint hint: The #1 Ivy reject school (dat irony with my username lol)</p>
<p>dartmouth/brown???</p>
<p>I’ll be going to Johns Hopkins. I really wish I applied to more ivies, I only applied to Columbia and Penn. I realize I want to do engineering and that screwed me over because I had no engineering schools on my college list. I have no idea how the engineering is at Hopkins, but I know that Penn has great all around programs. I really really regret not applying to Hopkins bme 
based on how engineering is at Hopkins I might transfer to Cornell or Carnegie Mellon. But then there’s grade deflation at Hopkins… </p>
<p>I’m going to Vandy (Cornelius Vanderbilt scholar 
)</p>
<p>I’ll be going to Penn State + Schreyers. </p>
<p>@jy2013 and @sophie1295 that’s great . Both are good schools. My son will going to michigan . </p>
<p>Thanks @jashbela !</p>
<p>@jashbela Thank you! Michigan is an awesome school especially for engineering. </p>
<p>@jy2013 and @sophie1295 he wanted to go to georgetown so bad and they even held his spot for extra 15 days but I didn’t feel for engineering or comp Sci it was as good as Michigan </p>
<p>Going to GA Tech for ChBE if this doesnt work out</p>
<p>Is waitlist officially closed? </p>
<p>@WallyMolly - Some college counsellors received word that Penn has closed the waitlist, but there could still be more admits due to what Dean Furda calls “summer melt” - when students change course and decide not to go to Penn over the summer</p>
<p>The Admissions Office will notify all remaining applicants when it closes the waiting list. It won’t just leave them hanging.</p>
<p>Feels like we should go somewhere else. I have to go to Ithaca. 4 years in the middle of nowhere.</p>
<p>@wallymolly Same here! So frustrating. Should I send them a second, more candid/honest letter of intent as a kind of last-ditch effort? I mean, is there anything to lose?</p>
<p>I don’t think letter will help, unless you won Olympic Games and forgot to notify them. Are you going to Ithaca too?
Have you been there? Have you seen any people, except students? Cornell has good reputation, but …what else?</p>
<p>I sent the letter way back when and didn’t even get a confirmation If they do release me know, I’d feel like I didn’t do enough to check about the things I sent etc</p>
<p>My son just got off , rejected </p>
<p>My S was just released from the waitlist. No prob he is going to UVa engineering. Good luck everyone wherever you go! :)>- </p>
