@USUG21 no idea but i presume yes, i have friends from Penn who were accepted off the waitlist and were international
For the letter of continued interest/achievements since January, do we submit that through the optional form or do we email it to the regional admissions officer, or both?
On the optional form, it says: “This form will only allow you to submit an update once, so we recommend you take time to collect any new information or recognition you may have earned since submitting your application, and upload one comprehensive document.”
So in this case, should i only include the updates in this doc, and then email separately the admissions office my letter of continued interest? And in my letter of continued interest, I would not need to repeat the post January achievements as that would be redundant when they view my status update correct?
Hey guys I have a question and I was wondering if anyone can answer this.
On the applicant portal, it says: This form will only allow you to submit an update once, so we recommend you take time to collect any new information or recognition you may have earned since submitting your application, and upload one comprehensive document.
So does that mean our letter of continued interest is separate from this doc update? Should i only include my new achievements in this doc update and then email my regional admissions officer separately my letter of continued interest?
@Penn95 thanx a lot. I stil hav hope
@meander17 when I emailed my loci, I was told to upload it and any other achievements to the comprehensive document by the 15th (today).
This discussion was created from comments split from: Waitlisted at UPenn.
@OfficialYi did u upload ur loci… whts the content…
The same like enthusiastic to join…
Any idea how many WListed this yr and whts chance…
you guys think it would be a good idea to send some of the art (drawings + paintings) I made since I applied?
I got waitlisted by the college of arts and science btw and I already sent a portfolio when I applied
Thanks @OfficialYi !
@Hait00 I also submitted an art portfolio for my rd app. But honestly, I don’t think sending in a few more paintings will make much of a difference at this point 
Good luck to you though!
@meander17 u r domestic or international. Hv u applied for FA
According to this Upenn took 90 and 136 in 2015 and 2014 from WL.
Do you think it will matter that I uploaded my LOCI to the portal at 12:30 am (30 minutes after April 15th)? I responded to the waitlist offer much earlier (March 30th).
@Y2JRedskins you were talking about this always… so why late… in last yra thread i saw ppl sending updates late…
@USUG21 sorry? What was I talking about?
Don’t mean to be rude just didn’t understand your comment 
@Y2JRedskins u were always talking about how Upenn is ur top choice B-)
Was the deadline for the LOCI really April 15th? I didn’t submit one yet. My waitlist letter only says that you have to respond to whether you want to accept your waitlist position by April 15th. Does anyone have a source for the date that the optional update must be sent by?
@HSStudent938 I think it says so in the FAQ, but I doubt its a strict deadline since they’ll only start admitting people off the waitlist after May 1st
@Y2JRedskins Thanks. That was my thought as well because I wanted to spend some time writing mine since they won’t even be looking at the waitlist until they have their actual commit numbers on May 1st.
