@kg2013 they’ll send you an email if you’re getting an interview
note: interviews at penn hold almost zilch weight and are assigned randomly; (not) getting an interview means nothing, so don’t fret
Interviews are not mandatory so don’t worry if you were not assigned one. My daughter had a great interview and it helped to have her questions answered.
Does anyone know if Penn does likely letters for RD?
Yes.
But I will say what I always say: the vast majority of accepted applicants will not get likely letters, so don’t constantly refresh your email looking for one.
Do you need to attend alumni interview to get into uPenn?
@atlbsmd no, though they’re kind of fun and offer insight into penn if you get the chance to do them
Have most people gotten the offer for an interview so far?
I had an interview over Skype a couple days ago.
Any idea when the likely letters come out?
@americandreampls Maybe mid-end feb. Mostly end feb. They are about 100 in number, mainly directed towards recruited athletes. I dont think almost any, if not, any international gets one.
Is Penn rolling for RD?
No
@jp013501 I believe all Ivy regular decisions will be announced on March 28th.
Guys did the date for the transcript material thing on your Application portal change after submitting the Mid year report? Cuz mine did not. It’s still stuck on January something. I did submit my Mid year report like 2 weeks ago (it says submitted on my Naviance). Other schools have already updated their portal status but Penn still has not. Should I email to double check or is this a normal phenomenon?
@Tachanka11 Do that. But being more specific in the question you posed doesnt hurt as well. I dont think people can help you as much with you saying "january something"and “transcript material thing”. Its too vague since there can be many meanings or implications from those phrases.
@TheGuy1 Well I have to be vague cuz as we all know the date on the materials are depended on your submission date. Anyway, let me be more specific. On Penn Portal, under Application Info, there is an application checklist with a list of materials received by UPenn. For transcript and school report, it says received 01/05/2019. My Mid year report was submitted more than a week ago, but the portal did not update any dates or new information regarding that.
Yah, @tachanka11 my portal didn’t update anything about my mid-year report either. Did anybody’s update?
I was deferred ED and my portal never updated.
Alright. got it. @Tachanka11 Just contact the AdCom and tell 'em about this dilemma. I mean, thats the 1st logical step.
I never got an update on my Penn portal for mid-year, but it said it submitted and was downloaded on my Commonapp. Also, the colleges that I applied to that did track mid-year said they received it. If you can check your commonapp or other colleges, those will help.
