Deferred ED and rejected, but thats okay because i got into one of my other reach schools! Congrats to everyone accepted :slight_smile:

I am deferred ED and portal’s broken. Will try fixing the link rn

So sorry! Were you deferred? Give yourself a day to mope and then move onward!

DD added update, and was rejected.

Accepted!! This is insane, I was rejected by both Brown and Yale and I opened my #1 last which was/is UPenn! Congrats to everyone that was either accepted, waitlisted, or rejected. This process has been dreadfully stressful and applying to the Ivy League is that stress^2, but we got through and I hope we all attend a school that we learn to love this fall! Woo Class of 2023!

Deferred ? college of arts absolutely sciences.
Does anyone know the defer stats and chances of acceptance after deferral? Thanks and good luck to everyone!

Waitlisted ! not sure if I’ll accept a spot .

Son was accepted to Arts and Sciences, with invitation to Ben Franklin Scholars program

how do u fix the portal link

anyone else’s portal still not working?

It may just be the influx of applicants opening their portals that could be lagging the server.
I was also invited to the BFS, do you know how many people get invited/acceptance into the program?

I was deferred ED and also got the invitation to BFS w/my acceptance!!!

Correction. I was waitlisted

Denied.

Applied RD for the AI program (Cognitive and Computer Science), with secondary major being Computer Science at SEAS.

ECs: Piano, martial arts, Boy Scouts, National Honor Society, Science National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta founder, programming club founder, math/science competition coaching, internship.

Recommendations: Calculus teacher, English teacher, counselor, internship employer. All were pretty good I think (didn’t see them).

Essays: Common App essay was about Rubik’s Cubes which I thought was good, Penn supplement was good too, I talked about how one of my projects was inspired by the engineering dean’s research/TED talks.

I was really hoping to get into Penn, but I guess the odds weren’t in my favor.

Accepted today, Wharton, Finance.

the worst applicant portal and rejection letter I’ve ever seen. Wasn’t dying to go there so no bitterness but Penn needs to hire better marketing staff or web design staff. Buzz Swamp Community College could do a better job.

Son got rejected. Thank god! UPenn would’ve cost me a fortune by the time he graduated.
