Awesome- well I’ll share mine for posterity: ACT 35, GPA 3.92, Top 20 Uni.
Hey, weird question, but are you white? Because I am, and I had a 4.0 at Lehigh University and got REJECTED as well. @dabbbmaster23
anybody get in for SEAS?
@Giulianna nah I’m not white lol, looking back on it I feel like my essays or recs were just straight garbage
Hi guys, I was accepted and was wondering if Penn ever flies out students who want to see the campus?
rejected
Good luck to everyone else who have not seen their decisions yet!
Accepted CAS woot
Wow! There was no way you were going to be rejected after getting recs from Wharton Professors themselves.
OMG!! I got into Penn and Yale in the same year. Omg I cannot believe it!
4.0 from UCLA
@Transfer981 can you post your stats and hooks (diversity income etc) for future applicants? This is a tremendous feat.
Sorry but good luck to everyone else! Hard work always paid off
Daughter was rejected. 4.0 from a top school, 5.1 weighted gpa in high school, 35 on act. Essays and writing were stellar. Even though the system is difficult, you have to still wonder what more could she have done?
@wtlistnightmare Gold medal from USAMO, USACO, USAPho; publish first author in a major scientific journal; start a business grossing over $100,000; author of a best-selling novel
There are many more things she could have done; it’s easy to think of more. But, most likely, the admissions officers simply didn’t think she was a fit for UPenn, but they know she will be successful wherever she goes.
Just my 2 cents. I truly believe having voice and a strong desire to be at the school is so so important.
My essays were not perfect. I had never written a college application before, being from Sydney and this was the only application I put it. I wrote my essays over 2-3 weeks. I dedicated a whole week for each question. But I really asked myself why I wanted to go and that involved alot of redrafting.
I did not use a college consultant e.g. Crimson
And while I dedicated both essay questions to Wharton, I did not forget to talk about Penn as well.
Good luck for future years!
I did not mention her extracurriculars, which were plentiful, but you are right, there is always more to be done:). She did get into a wonderful school, and as all of you obviously will, she will do just fine. Good luck to all of you on here, you are all clearly amazing!
Rejected junior from CLAS. Good luck to all accepted, jealous you get to live my dream (:
yeah that’s absolutely not a thing. How could you even know you wanted to go there if you hadn’t seen the campus??? Fly yourself out???
@2747284 Also accepted CAS, will you go to Duke or UPenn?
