UPenn 2024 Waitlist

got into both duke and penn off waitlist, no idea what to do now lol

Our daughter got in this evening CAS but the FA information isn’t there yet. This will be a tough decision for her. Good luck to everyone!

@n4162s Thanks! I don’t see any information yet, so my package probably isn’t out yet.

@jchiu1315 @FLcollegebound on your financial aid portal did it say that they were requesting anything? or did it just say your package will be available soon because mine says i’m missing requirements when I’ve submitted everything and the missing requirements aren’t for the right country either.

Guys where do you put the updates in your portal because I am not able to find any place for updates?

It says they have received everything and will have the financial aid information in the next few days.

Congrats to all who are no longer on the waitlist!

How long do you have before you have to decide?

@mg1024
and everyone, have you found where to put updates in portal?

Accepted to Wharton off waitlist. Unsure what to do now. Turned down Princeton last week. Any thoughts on Wharton vs Harvard/Yale?

@1234edsj @zxcvbnmwaiting log into your portal. Then click on the tab that looks like a book. Next you should see “Wait list applicant update” link in blue and click that. Then you will upload your update there.

@PAdude full disclosure, I am on the waitlist for Harvard and Wharton and I don’t want it to seem like I am some cutthroat person trying to get you not to accept your spot for the waitlist I am on. However, I think Harvard/Yale is more versatile (if you for any reason change your decision), and if you plan to go into finance/consulting, a Harvard/Yale degree will prob do you just as good. If you want to end up getting your MBA, you prob could get into a T7 business school. additionally, if you end up changing your plans, I think Harvard/Yale may be better (humanities, cs at Harvard). However, if you have some niche aspect of business you want to explore (real estate, retail), I think Wharton would be better for you. Ultimately, it should come down to what you want to study (business vs econ are very different) and what culture you vibe with better. good luck! no bad decisions

@cyl267 That is strange. Mine says I have submitted everything

Got my acceptance letter yesterday from UPenn! Good luck to everyone else on their waitlist!

Were there any internationals that got off the waitlist yesterday?

Looks like quite a few internationals got off yesterday… maybe they are replacing the international with international students… I am not very sure how they go about selecting from the waitlisted student

Congrats to those who got in off the waitlist. Did you all submit a LOCI? Did anybody get in off the waitlist without expressing further interest?

@Apro10232 I’m an international who just got off the waitlist yesterday!

We have 2 weeks to decide, so there will likely be a wave after these 2 weeks.

Yes we have 2 weeks to answer. I’m from MI in the College and I did submit a LOCI in early April

Two weeks to decide is very generous.
