@Jleto18 I agree. Otherwise contact the college to confirm the reception of the doc.
My mid-year report was downloaded through the Common App; however, it does not show up on my portal checklist either. So maybe they don’t include the mid-year report on the checklist since we are all missing it?? IDK
Same here. Common App shows both mid year report and additional recommendation letter downloaded, but portal has not been updated to reflect either. Other schools portals show both received.
@SnatchCat @Rose2023 UPenn does not track mid-years on their portal checklist. Some colleges do, some colleges don’t. If it said it was downloaded through the CommonApp, then you’re fine. I wouldn’t worry about it, but I do understand the paranoia. It’s stressful this time of year waiting to hear decisions. My advice is to just have fun, spend time with friends, watch movies, binge TV, focus on a hobby, etc. Good luck to you guys, I’m right there with you.
Does anyone know if some majors are easier or harder to get into within The College? We’re looking at Chemistry specifically.
No midyear report shown on the portal - confirmed.
@collegemom111111 Some schools dont show them. (for unknown reasons)
Contact the adcom to confirm reception and processing.
Depends on the app profile overall and generally speaking and the no. of apps applying for the major, mainly due to the rough number of admits/major that schools have in mind (diversity, and such…)
No telling exactly. Since this whole Q’s about within schools of learning.
But among the schools, its fairly easy to tell.
@garamxmasala deferred as well. I haven’t seen updated stats from this year, but last year they deferred 10% and admitted 17%… this year they similarly admitted 17%, so my guess is they also deferred 10%
@LincolnsGF - How sure are you of this information? I mean about the March 28th date for Ivy RD releases? Thanks!
@BrooklynRye My Yale portal says that regular decisions will be released on March 28, and all Ivies notoriously come out on the same day, hence the name “Ivy Day.” Also, I believe that other Ivies revealed this date, as well. So I would say 100% sure.
@BrooklynRye My Penn deferral letter also says March 28
Hey, just wondering, I know that Penn does likely letters for athletes and in the past have also sent out likely letters for non-athletes, has anybody on here gotten a likely letter? Or do they not do them anymore?
Good luck to fellow Vangelos applicants!
Also, any wharton fellows in here?
I applied to Wharton, business econ and public policy. I am so nervoussss!
I was deferred from Wharton in the early round… as decision day gets closer I get more and more nervous haha!!
Yes. Penn sends a limited amount of LLs to non-athletic recruits in the RD round. However, the vast majority of accepted applicants will not receive a LL. Read nothing into it.
Hey you guys!! Today I was told in class by one of my friends that she has a very good friend who goes to a high school 5 minutes away from mine that got a likely letter from Penn a few days ago. It is confirmed to be true and she is not a prospective athlete. I’ve heard that Penn does do likely letters for athletes and know that Penn has sent non-athlete likely letters in the past but I haven’t heard much talk about it in the recent threads. Is it still a thing? Does anybody know? Thank you!!!
I applied to the Huntsman Dual Degree Program - so kind of Wharton kind of CAS
@skieurope thank you!!
