<p>@King. That’s the exact same situation I’m in.</p>
<p>Penn is easily my top choice no competition. Brown is my second and U Chicago is my third</p>
<p>Penn is my top, then Harvard then Stanford I think.</p>
<p>@gpakistan–I’m from CT, as I suspect a bunch of people are…lol at my Penn tour 90% of the kids were from CT. Sigh.
I applied EA to UVA and UNC. I’m so annoyed I couldn’t apply early to Georgetown AND ED to Penn. Georgetown’s my second, so if I don’t get into Penn, I’ll feel really dumb for not applying to Georgetown early…but hey, we can only go forward.
I’m trying so hard to stop checking the Penn portal. I’m going to be a wreck all day on the 16th. I contemplated staying home so I could just refresh my computer all day, but we need to at least pretend we’re functional.
8 Days. 8 Days. 8 Days. Ahhhh.</p>
<p>Penn’s my top choice, followed by Oxford then Princeton and Columbia.</p>
<p>@writergirl I know! I check the portal like very second even though I know there’s nothing there and I keep coming onto this site because I am so full of anxiety!</p>
<p>We can do it guys. Eight more (grueling) days. Oh god. I don’t even wanna think about how I’ll be next Monday… I’ll be dead at school and all jittery. Hopefully I have no tests that day,</p>
<p>I’m west coast, so at least 5 p.m. is 2 p.m. for me… So I can just check it when I get home from school instead of waiting</p>
<p>Is anyone gonna make a reaction video? I’m contemplating it, but I’m terrified that it’s gonna be an awful result.</p>
<p>Hey guys! This is my first time posting on this thread but I have a bit of a situation on my hands… I accidentally scheduled an interview with another college on Dec 16 at 5:30! I really don’t want to reschedule it again because I already had to once seeing as it was originally scheduled for the week that my mom passed away They were obviously understanding about that but I really really don’t want to reschedule again. If a miracle happens and I am accepted to Penn do you guys think it would be okay for me to still go to the interview instead of being rude and canceling? Especially because I’m a financial aid applicant I still have the option of backing out if Penn doesn’t give me enough aid right? And I’m assuming that we won’t be given an aid package on the 16. </p>
<p>Also does anyone know if we can access our decision on a mobile device?</p>
<p>@kayyyy, so sorry about your mom. I think it would be totally fine to still go to the interview–it just takes the pressure off, of course, if you get in! And I think we get responses via email, so if you have a smartphone, you should be fine. Best of luck.</p>
<p>^ You don’t get your decision via email. You get it by logging in on this page at 5 PM EST (or later) on December 16th:</p>
<p><a href=“https://www.admissions.upenn.edu/decisions/mydecision.php[/url]”>https://www.admissions.upenn.edu/decisions/mydecision.php</a></p>
<p>And yes, you should be able to log in on any mobile device that accesses the internet.</p>
<p>@kayyyy hey i’m sorry about your mom passing away. IMO, if you really want to reschedule again, I’m sure that the interviewer will understand.</p>
<p>@MadgeCJ i’m from Michigan too. I applied EA to Michigan as well. Decisions come out on Friday, right?</p>
<p>OMG I’m totally in the same boat as everyone else. So terrified for the 16th yet cannot wait. I actually asked off for work that day to be absolutely positive that I am not there when I find out.
In fact only 3 people (my 2 best friends and my brother) know that decisions come out on Monday… I want to surprise my parents with UPenn christmas gifts if I get in and use that as a way to tell them!
@manmelons do they? Haha I have no idea. My parents are UM alums so they’re really excited for me to find out even if Penn is my top choice.
This forum even though I only discovered it today has been such a huge blessing so far… it’s so great to know I’m not alone in my anxiety!!</p>
<p>I’m gonna find out when I’m at school, so I’m gonna have to find a private corner or someplace to check so I don’t embarrass myself: I’ll have a breakdown no matter what the decision is.</p>
<p>everyone make a reaction video! i know i will! but ill only share it if its good news. otherwise ill keep it as a reminder of how good everything else in my life is in comparison</p>
<p>dont open it at school harrovian! you should open it either w ur friends or your parents so if u get in u can like jump around everywhere and have fun</p>
<p>@s13nior. I’m not sure I have the self control to wait any longer than absolutely necessary, lol. And I have last block off and so do most of my friends. so, I’ll probably open it in a corner and then celebrate with everyone if its good. if it’s bad, i’ll probably just stay in the corner.</p>
<p>I hope you get in Har’. You’ve been trooping since day one. haha</p>
<p>It’s hard to believe something so major is happening in 187 hours, 55 minutes, 27 seconds (not that I’m counting or anything HAHAHA). Penn is definitely my first choice and as worried as I am that I’ll get a no… I’m really excited to login and get a response. My only regret is that it’ll be 6 am and the start of Christmas break (I live in the Philippines) when the website opens and I won’t have any friends or family around to celebrate/console me. </p>
<p>That being said though guys, a no from Penn isn’t the end for any of us. I think the fact we HAD the option of EDing Penn and being a competitive applicant means that there’s a whole host of schools that would love to have us as students.</p>
<p>This thread has been a great comfort the last few days- if you guys are any indication of the type of people I can expect at Penn I really hope I get in.</p>
<p>Here’s to us! Hope to see you guys in real life next fall :)</p>
<p>If we get in on move in day I’ll be telling everyone my user name
My brother, two years older and infinitely wider than I, reminded me that he never got into his top choice school, and yet he could not be happier with his college experience! Whatever happens I’m sure it happens for the best.
But it’s hard to keep that mindset with less than 8 days to go!!!</p>
