UPenn 2024 Waitlist

Wharton informs people during the weekend?

Seems like a suspect post on Reddit, if it’s the one where they ask what’s better UChicago or Wharton. Ironically, UCLA let a bunch off the waitlist yesterday around 8:30am, a Saturday. But I can’t see Penn following suit.

looking at that poster’s history they are an international student, which may explain the timing. keeping my fingers crossed for next week though

When do Wharton waitlistees get notified if they’re on or off the waitlist?

@staylor1490 My guess, just a guess, is between May 7-14 for phase 1. I hope sooner, but feel later next week to start. Would love to see what others intuit!

@west2east20 what you mean by phase 1, is there a phase 2 also… what is the guesstimate of # of waitlisted students they will admit to Wharton thus year?

Phase 2 would be a couple days after Phase 1 folks give their decision. If 50% students say no thank you, I can’t go, then those spots will be offered to students still on WL. Could be three rounds or more. Often they get between 3-7 days to decide. Not sure what Penn will do.

No idea how many slots might be open to pull from WL, I imagine a few if there are concerns about international students getting visas or taking gap years. Also, Penn vs Wharton, could be different number of rounds.

Thanks for your input/reply… Good luck to you and everyone here

another poster on Reddit said that they were offered a spot at Wharton, and they have until Friday to confirm.

edit: they were offered a spot last Friday (May 1) and they have until this Friday to confirm.

Classmate of my child got in 5/2. She is going. I don’t have any other information, only that she calls it Penn. She changed from her commitment to Northeastern for this.

Are there different waitlists that come out at different times for the 4 schools?

@“Sapphire G” which of the four schools did they get in for? In the past penn didn’t separate by school.

Could u link the Reddit post please?

@yungcollegeapp not sure if actual links are allowed but its under the “waitlist megathread” on r/applyingtocollege

I’m CAS and nothing yet for me

CAS and nada.

I’m Wharton and I haven’t heard anything either.

Also wharton and haven’t heard anything. Really hoping the dean was serious about going deep into the waitlist lol.
