Are u talking about the forms checklist
@ModiModi at teh portal there was chance to give them an update (only once tho) and it said “if you have any relevant updates give them here, consider all the information as yu can submit the form only once” but now that is gone. It was next to the “accept/deny the waitlist”
@Tatso99 did you submit the update?
@ModiModi nope, all that I told them was by an email
@Tatso99 when we click on the second row clikable tab it used to take us to another screen whr ur mail id is written. The upload facility has vanished. Instead at the end they hv given us a choice to update our waitlist choice… this is the change …rt…
@USUG21 Yeah tho I had the waitlist update the whole time
@Tatso99 i might be having that … i cant place it now… but definitely that upload choice was thr and its gone along with the warning that one can upload it once… so did u find any thing in yester years thread about this…any ray of hope…is every body here seeing the chamge or few ?
Any news ? Any one got off WL
Hey guys! I got waitlisted for Wharton. Because I participated in a national innovation contest my junior year ( we won for our state and nationally, in the top 15 places), I was on the news twice. The CEO and President of Samsung Electronics North America wrote me a personal letter of recommendation address to Dean Eric Furda ( and emailed/mailed it to him). For my update, I provided UPENN with that l.o.r. as well as 3 more l.o.r ( 1 from my pastor because I am a devoted Christian and I do a lot of activities in the church, one of them was from my 10th grade English teacher who was supposed to give me the letter since October but I finally got it way pass admission deadlines so I used that one, and one more from the advisor of one of the clubs that I am the secretary of… which was only a paragraph long and not that good.) My exam scores are not that good (28 on both ACTs, 1770 in Dec 2015, 1310 in Apr 2016, 1350 in Oct/Nov 2016, 3 on WHAP, 4 on APUSH and AP Eng Lang, 5 on AP Psych). At the time I applied, I was #3 with a 4.9 something weighted GPA but as of current I am #4 with a 5.0 weighted GPA. I am the secretary of 2 clubs ( one is based on a certification/magnet program that my school has and the other is a club for “at-risk” or financial unstable young ladies.) I used to be the secretary of SGA my junior year but I left during senior year. I’ve been in 8+ clubs throughout high school. I did not have a real “job” during high school. I currently have 300 service hours but I could have had put in the rest of them if I wanted to but. I am currently in a “magnet” program at my school called Industrial Biotechnology where students learn about that industry, culture bacteria, alter DNA, complete gel electrophoresis, etc. The program started our freshman year (when most of us were in Biology Honors.) We are the first graduating class from the program and just took the certification exam a few weeks ago.
I’m a black girl (with a single mom and an afro-Hispanic father who isn’t really in my life). We currently live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and I’m from a public high school that is currently ranked as a “D” school. My mom makes less than $30k annually. I want to be an Industrial and Organizational Psychologist. I can’t really tell you why I was waitlisted except that God is good and favors me immensely.
I noticed a few people are getting calls and emails from UPENN so I’m praying that I’m next. I got accepted to UF with a full ride, which is where I will be attending if I am rejected by UPENN (which is my top choice university.) I got accepted into all the other universities I applied to except Columba and NYU. I’m honestly no competition for anyone and I am still shocked that I even got waitlisted.
In my LOCI I talked about some of the volunteer projects I participated in (giving out bags of sanitary items to homeless women, donating clothes and shoes to a local middle school for their prom, creating a school pantry for homeless students), my church activities (women’s fellowship, Drive-thru prayer, discipleship class, a marriage conference), my online store, Samsung Solve for Tomorrow, a short film I was directing and producing for my humanities 2 class, a science -based relay race I was planning for one of my clubs, etc.
My current schedule is not competitive. Biotech 3 Hon, AP GOV/Econ Hon (1/2 credit of each, same class period and teacher), Pre-Calc Ho (5th year of math, I wanted AP stats for 2 years in a row and I couldn’t be enrolled because Biotech, which is mandatory for me, was scheduled during the same block), Humanities 2 Hon ( I didn’t take hum 1 hon), Spanish 3 hon, AP Eng Lit, Classical Lit Hon (this gives me 5 English credits) and study hall ( no credit.)
I do apologize for my terrible grammar. I’m tired and this upcoming week is my finally week before finals. Prom was Friday. My birthday was the day before that. This Tuesday is Senior Awards Night (principal decided to stop giving us cords but all the seniors were outraged so we contacted the school board and the superintendent and now we will be the last graduating class that gets our graduation cords at Senior Award Night.
Any body got any news ?
Just browsing through princeton and columbia waitlist threads… seems more than 50 ppl hav already been admitted and the facebook group of admitted students also confirmed that new members added… all the WL threads are active except UPENN… Wht happened… any admitted student can throw some light as to if some ppl have been added in the FB group recently .
^^^^ should the rest of us still in the waitlist assume that no news is bad news? Does anyone know when they’ll send an update??
@Tacozzzzzz I don’t think no news is bad news. I believe that they could take us off of waitlist any time from May to June, so I think the rest of us should get an update in the next couple of weeks.
It’s Friday, do you think we’ll have any update?
I hope so! I don’t think it is going to be good news at this point though…
Do they usually release decisions on friday for WL? I agree it’s not looking good at this point considering multiple people have been given offers…
Its very strange that upenn nt yet sent any update … . Its only few ppl here tht hv reported they got off… no hope though as the third week is also over
I just got an email… “it is with genuine regret that I inform you that we are not able to offer you admission from the wait list.” 
just got an email as well, rip
Didn’t get off the waitlist, as expected. Did nothing to get off and I don’t think I would’ve accepted the offer anyway, oh well.
