<p>^ From eapps about when decisions would come out. I’m kinda late in posting this, but you should’ve received an e-mail from them around the 12th of this month.</p>
<p>8:48AM here</p>
<p>9:47 AM Pacific</p>
<p>7:37 PM, ,March 11 (Penn time)</p>
<p>Not sure why this matters to you though.</p>
<p>I got the email very early - At about 9 AM local time so that would be 8 AM Penn Time (I believe it was the 11th). I don’t think it makes a difference though really. Good luck ! AHHH We are so close</p>
<p>8PM (CA Time), March 12</p>
<p>2:26 PM EST… last name is near end of alphabet so I think that would explain the order the emails were sent out</p>
<p>5 PM EST on the 11th. I don’t think it matters though…</p>
<p>Less than a week, guys!!</p>
<p>Rejected by BU. Probably because of an incomplete transcript. The same transcripts I sent to all colleges. So there goes my last .1% of hope for Penn.</p>
<p>@Maxy, what have you been accepted to and what’re you waiting on?</p>
<p>Accepted nowhere in the US. </p>
<p>BU was my first decision. Still waiting for Penn, Cornell, Columbia, Michigan, Tufts(not sure why I applied there anymore). Brandeis didn’t consider me because I forgot to fill in a form (I didn’t care about it anymore and forgot about it, not really bothered by that one), and Northeastern didn’t consider me because of the incomplete transcript.</p>
<p>Basically, I applied with just the grades of the last two years of high school because I transferred to a school in a different country. Michigan mailed me to say they can’t consider me if I don’t get my school to mail the other transcripts, which they are doing, but I went through a very bad time at that school, so my grades are pretty much as low as possible. </p>
<p>It sucks, because I’ve worked so hard the last three years to turn my life around after pretty much failing school. Did well in my last two years, got top 10% of the class, good SAT scores, worked really hard on my essays, and then found out it was all for nothing.</p>
<p>I got in to three unis in the UK, all good unis, but I really had my heart set on studying in the States.</p>
<p>^If it’s any consolation, I would’ve studied in the UK if I could’ve. :)</p>
<p>Sounds like you had a good story to tell but knocked yourself out of the running trying to hide it. </p>
<p>One of the hardest things to do is to be cool with whoever you are regardless of others opinions.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was planning on telling about it, but the advisor I visited who knew about universities in the US told me not to. I wasn’t actively trying to hide something, I just didn’t think it was worth mentioning, because at the time I thought my exam results would be all they cared about (which is true if I had been applying from my school having been there for four years).</p>
<p>I’m not sure the story would have been that great though. I was also worried that when competing with students with perfect high school records, having a serious blemish on it would put me out of the running anyway.</p>
<p>It’s all not really worth talking about at this point and I will just have to accept what I’ve done, and the rejections that will follow.</p>
<p>Well, that was a horrible advisor. Colleges like seeing upward trends. I wish you the best of luck, Maxyend!</p>
<p>AH! This wait is killing me. Knowing that my fate is probably sealed in an envelope and kept somewhere in 1, College Hall, is too frightening…</p>
<p>Can it just be Thursday already? I’m freaking out.</p>
<p>I really cant focus on anything else…</p>
<p>I may not be the most competitive applicant, but I really put everything into my Penn essays so I’m hoping for the best. Hopefully I can go back to being normal after Thursday, I’ve been so distant and zoned for the past few weeks. Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Yup everyone’s freaking out, the weirdest thing is “safely schools” are wait-listing me while “reach” schools are accepting me <em>cough</em> <em>cough</em> likely letters</p>
