UPenn 2021 Waitlist

@Y2JRedskins

@jkHicks004 judging from his post history I’d assume Arts and Sciences

@jkHicks004 @IHateAppsXXX I got into SEAS for Computer Science. If CS was offered in CAS, I’d definitely have applied for that but unfortunately it isn’t.

My daughter got a call from the Dean of Admissions yesterday, telling her she got off the wait list!

@IntoTheWoods Congrats!! Which school at UPenn?

@IHateAppsXXX She got into Wharton.

@IntoTheWoods, Congrats…

@IntoTheWoods wow congrats!! if you don’t mind me asking, what did she send in for her letter (or letters) of continued interest?

So… does anyone else know when the results are going to be released?? I’m content with where I’m going but I just need some closure lol… Also is it too late to update our admissions officer? I got second in states for something but idk if it’s worth doing at this point.

@IHateAppsXXX She sent in her letter of continued interest after getting on the wait list. Then after they asked if she wished to remain on the extended wait list, she sent another note (this time to her regional admission counselor) with some updates like a regional win at a business related competition, and a link to a project she worked on for that competition. She also had her supervisor/mentor from that project write a recommendation. In her own note, my daughter mentioned why Wharton and she were the perfect match, what concentrations and minors she would be interested in if admitted etc. She also updated the admission counselor on her latest grades at school (after the third marking period). Good luck!

@garyasho Not sure if they are done with all the available spots but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to send in an update - that way you’d have the satisfaction of knowing that you tried your best. Good luck!

released from the waitlist
