Yeah I got the email… but won’t everyone? I don’t think it means anything
We aren’t concluding as it’s only a nice email
Ha. My son also received the “enjoyed getting to know you …” email. This is funny because he quit working on his UPenn application in January and never turned in a writing supplement, and since then just forgot about it, assuming they would just withdraw the application eventually. Needless to say he was quite surprised to receive an email from UPenn today telling him to check in for his decision on March 28. Pretty sure we already know the decision.
@NMParent000079 The same thing happened to my JHU app, which I didn’t finish and also forgot to send in certain required materials. Still got a decision lol
It does not mean anything. Everybody gets the exact same email. See this thread from 2016
As said by @snowy2010 , there is no hidden message in the email. All ED applicants this year, whether accepted, deferred, or rejected, received the email in the same exact format.
The email is a standard response from UPenn Adcom for all apps who ‘submitted the application core’
question… is everything from your application portal gone but the message saying thank you for applying, your decision will be available March 28 at 7pm
Cant wait for the decisions!
@catmomof3 my checklist has been gone for some time now.
What’s the URL for the Portal where you guys are seeing this? The Common App website?
@duquesnewhistle no you should have received an email with info for your applicant portal shortly after you submitted your application
Why is there no reward date for UPenn on the CSS Profile? It’s the only school that is like that for me so I am kind of confused 
They probably didn’t declare the final date for FA yet
@paradox15 U can expect FA to come out 0-7 days from the Decision Day.
anyone know how much the interview helps lol my interview was so good and probably helped my app if the interview matters a lot
@18butterflies my interview was really good too, I hope it matters enough though.
@18butterflies @paradox15 unfortunately the interview matters minimally in the final interview decision
It’s more for the alumni (getting them to stay involved with the school, thus increasing the likelihood of them donating) than anything for us
@garamxmasala I agree with your statement. Though there’s slightly more to it:
An interview never pushes an app either side, and is only meant to supplement the applicants personality.
As long as you dont badmouth UPenn or disrespect anyone and/or curse, its alright.
