<p>I accidentally applied to Wharton but wrote about the College of Arts and Sciences in my essay, which is where I really want to go. Is this an automatic rejection? Not that I was very likely to get in anyway. You guys are way more qualified than I am.</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone can really know if one of us is more qualified than another!</p>
<p>@soccerfan14 Well I just see the stats of all the members here who have 2300+ SAT scores, 4.0 GPAs, and national awards and can’t help feeling inadequate lol.</p>
<p>Accepted: BC, smith ,northeastern
Rejected: UCLA, wustl
Waiting: UPenn, Cornell, UCB. Carnegie Mellon, and Columbia</p>
<p>@ElmerChelmo Did you let them know that you wanted to apply to CAS and not Wharton?</p>
<p>Accepted: Brandeis
Waiting: UPenn, Columbia, NYU
Had an interview with Penn. I don’t think they really take it into account.
What do you guys think?</p>
<p>Interviews are just safety measures the colleges put in place to see if the actual applicant does not contradict his/her application. So generally, provided you were respectful and courteous to your interviewer, it does not factor in very much to you overall decision. </p>
<p>@book05 Sadly I realized it too late. It was this morning actually. I figured there’s nothing I can do about it now.</p>
<p>@bond0072 check them from the least selective to the most selective</p>
<p>Uchh. That’s what I figured. Really unfortunate, because nearly the entire interview was my interviewer saying how impressed he was with me.</p>
<p>@ElmerChelmo Ouch. Still, you’re right. Nothing you can do about it now. And I am sure they’'re smart enough to realize you wanted to apply to CAS. </p>
<p>@ElmerChelmo
Just hope for the best man! Nothing else you can really do at this point. </p>
<p>Thanks for all of your advice. I really hope all goes well for you guys!</p>
<p>For my daughter:</p>
<p>Admitted: Michigan (Ross Pre-Admit), Indiana (Kelley Pre-Admit), UIUC (Business Honors, James Scholar), Michigan State, Minnesota.</p>
<p>Waiting: Penn (Wharton)</p>
<p>Rejections: None</p>
<p>She looked at St. Olaf before deciding on business and decided she wasn’t a small school girl. She briefly looked at Chicago and Northwestern, but decided they were too close to home and she preferred an actual business school. Her next looks were to the California schools, but I convinced her there were no OOS scholarships to be had (as I told her about Michigan but she applied anyway). She was not particularly interested in Michigan State or Minnesota. Those were her safeties.</p>
<p>Best price so far is Minnesota, followed by UIUC with the business honors scholarship (group of 40) which comes with very good perks. Most expensive is Michigan with no OOS money but Ross pre-admit was a nice award (group of 100).</p>
<p>She has decent but not astronomical stats, pretty good ec’s. Her strong point is her English/speaking/presentation/creative ability. She interviews very well. She went to the local Penn info night months ago and liked the presentation, but said that all of the alums were medical/science. No one from Wharton to talk to.</p>
<p>We are mostly a big 10 family. Grandpa was not happy she didn’t apply to University of Chicago or Northwestern instead of Penn. Penn is an excellent school, obviously, but does not have very strong name recognition here.</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you smart kids out there, your parents will be very happy when this is all over with!</p>
<p>For my son:</p>
<p>Admitted: UNC Chapel Hill Honors OOS, UF Honors, UVA OOS, Rice ($86K in scholarship)
Likely Letters: Penn and Cornell ( he already knows he’s in so just waiting for official notification)
Deferred: Princeton EA
Wait listed: WUSTL
Waiting: Brown, Columbia, Duke, Princeton and Yale</p>
<p>All to SEAS</p>
<p>so I got a letter from U penn saying I have missing financial information. Picked it up in the mail yesterday. I’ve heard financial aid has nothing to do with acceptance, but why are they scrambling to decide my financial aid award a couple of days before admission decisions come out? </p>
<p>A friend of mine got it too @cranberrypie101 , and she was asking herself the same thing… </p>
<p>Anybody here actually live in Philadelphia?</p>
<p>Accepted: Nowhere
Waitlisted: Nowhere
Rejected: Chicago, MIT, HMC, Colgate
Waiting for: Penn, Brown, Cornell, Columbia, Harvard, Duke, Princeton, Yale, Amherst, Williams, Stanford</p>
<p>International asking for a near full ride and right on track to getting 15 rejections :P</p>
<p>@Qwerty1739 Same here! Just that it’s 13 for me and my first decision will be released in about 9 hours. </p>
