Next week is a big week for all of us 
I want to fast forward to next week to get closure on the decision yet I don’t want to fast forward because it’s a week closer to my finals…yeah life is a real b sometimes
@EdwardL I’ve applied to archaeology at Cornell and anthropology at UPenn. If I don’t get into either, I’ll be headed to Binghamton.
@samantha42 Yeah, I see how stressful this can be. Have faith!
@terr24lr I’m enjoying the blissful ignorance…
@EdwardL what?? haha
are we thinking may 2nd?
Word on the street is that sometime this week we should get an email giving us an exact day and time decisions will be released. I believe someone said last year it was 5 days before release. I’m speculating we’ll either get decisions the 1st or 2nd.
@terr24lr like knowing the likely rejection but still have some hope, because the decision hasn’t come out yet 
yeah according to the last couple of years its the first tuesday of may!
Penn is my NUMBER ONE CHOICE and i have a feeling I’m going to be rejected from cornell based on the timing I’m receiving my decision. Most of my schools require deposits by May 1st, Penn wouldn’t let me know then right?
@iveeehopeful if you email them the situation sometimes they will give you an expedited decision. Maybe try that!
Does anyone still have missing materials according to their Penn portal?
@johnpfc3 maybe give them a call? they might just let you email them whatever is missing.
Did anyone try to send recent academic updates? I’ve co-authored a paper with a Ph.D. and think it might be cool to let the school know. Should I upload it from the portal or write an email? I also wrote several hundred words about what I learned from it, so should I include that in an email or in a separate file through the portal? Any inputs are appreciated!
Had a melt down last night bc I’m 100% sure I can’t get in its fine 
If I got rejected from cornell, I’m most likely going to be rejected here too right? Penn is my first choice… I’ve planned my entire future around pen… 
@iveeehopeful not necessarily!!! Try to stay hopeful! Penn is my top choice too 
@iveeehopeful @VaishS Hang in there guys! We’ve done all that we could thus far. Decisions are coming around and its easier to get anxious about it but just remember that you’ve worked hard to get to this point. Whether you’re accepted or not doesn’t determine how successful or happy you’ll be in the future. Like you guys, a lot of hope is riding on this decision. Its honestly terrifying the sooner the days count down but, just remember to breathe and to remember the bigger picture! Best of luck to everyone!!!
7 days…hang in there everybody
