<p>I keep on swinging from being super pumped about it and sure I’m getting in to wanting to lay in my bed and cry because I know I’ll be rejected.</p>
<p>Thank god we don’t have finals until January because I’m too stressed to do any homework or anything.</p>
<p>Would an ED candidate receive a likely letter considering they are already bound to go to Penn?</p>
<p>Many athletes do but they have already received them back in October. A few in our local schools signed them during November 5th national ceremony.</p>
<p>Since they are admitting people today for QB, it would have been easy enough to issue a few letters just to ease the tension. Whether they were issued or not depends on how many were issued and what makes them special. Penn definitely issues a bunch during February for RD.</p>
<p>texas: I thought the QB matches were all announced on Monday Dec 2? One of my interviewees found out on Monday (for another Ivy)</p>
<p>Looks like QB mailed out letters on Wednesday based on the facebook picture.</p>
<p>They did notify people on Monday.</p>
<p>Congratulations, Cirrandir! The acceptance must have been a huge load off of your chest :).</p>
<p>Reasons why I think I’ll get accepted… uhhhh… GPA / rank, rec letters (I waived my FERPA, but my French teacher showed me my rec letter after she submitted it. Strange. It was very good nonetheless.), art supplement. I have also started my own business, but I don’t know how highly the adcom will consider that since it’s not verified or anything.</p>
<p>I’m kind of concerned about my SAT scores though (2150). Most of my subject tests were okay (APUSH - 710, Math II 720), but my Lit subject test was absolutely horrible (a 590)! I’m also worried about my Penn supplement essay. It was very rushed, and I couldn’t get anybody else to read it :(.</p>
<p>I live in India so I’ll get the decision at 3:30 am so I won’t be able to sleep till then 
I’m super nervous because I feel like my Ec’s, essays, grades are all very good but I’m scared my SAT 2s will ruin it for me (Math 2- 730 and bio- 700).
Does anyone know to what extent the Sat 2s can affect the decision if everything else is great? My SAT 1 is 2250, Ive been getting a 41/42 in IB, I own an NGO and I invented a new dance style. The competition here is really high, last year from all of India only 2 students got in ED out of the 42 who applied.</p>
<p>It certainly doesn’t help you but they obviously take a very holistic view of applicants so am average SAT II score will not break your application</p>
<p>iamoym : Dude I have almost the same scores as you! 2140 in SAT 1. 710 in maths level 2, 600 in lit! </p>
<p>Karishmaseth : ^the low scores should help you feel better yours 
Indian here as well! where are you from? Where did you get those stats from?</p>
<p>just over a week to go… eek</p>
<p>I have a countdown clock going and I had a bit of a freakout when the day number dropped into single digits yesterday.</p>
<p>@KarishmaSeth I am from Nepal and I applied ED to Penn as well! Seriously getting up late that night will be one hell of a heart attack right? mines on like 3 45 AM December 17th</p>
<p>@Harrovian Best of luck! You will definitely get in! Damn 9 days left</p>
<p>Many colleges have started to send ED decisions already! I think middlebury sent out theirs</p>
<p>@mumford07 You’re going to wake up? I won’t be sleeping at all!
@Alcaraz True that
@absingha hmm not really lol. Bombay</p>
<p>@mumford07, thanks for the vote of confidence. Best of luck to you (and to everyone) as well. </p>
<p>I’m sure that whether penn or not, everything will pan out all right for everyone. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be, I suppose. But, here’s still to hoping for Penn.</p>
<p>Not to stress you guys out even more, but do you think there’s any chance decisions could be released earlier, if they finish reviewing applications sooner than expected? </p>
<p>Last year, decisions were out on the 12th, I think? Penn also extended its ED deadline then.</p>
<p>Why should they do that jumper? If anything, colleges wanted extra time due to the Common App issues this year. There’s no incentive to announce anything early.</p>
<p>I doubt they would since they already released the date and time and sent out emails…</p>
<p>Has it ever happened in the past?</p>
<p>I’m not sure if it’s ever happened, but when I told my counselor about the decision release date, she said they may/may not release it a couple of days earlier. Though it’s hard to tell since Penn did say they will post decisions on the 16th. </p>
<p>Monday also seems like a hard day to release decisions since there was a weekend before it.</p>
