UPenn Class of 2025 Waitlist

8th call to Admissions after Commitment Day:

The lady said that official decisions will be released in June but that they have started to review applications. She couldn’t give any other information to the amount of waitlist activity this year.

It’s so weird that different admission officers are giving different decision release dates (May vs June).

Are you going to call them tomorrow to clarify the situation?

At this point IB Chemistry makes more sense than Penn

Yes I’ll try to call on a regularly basis.

I also find it better to call after their lunch break (base on experience they sound more enthusiastic and more willing to provide information after lunch).

So true, however IB chemistry can be frustrating (I had like an perfect A in MYP chem and then first day of IB chem I felt like an idiot)

If Penn doesn’t accept me, I am planning to defer my acceptance at my current college. But the deadline to request deferral is June 1st. So if Penn releases in June, it’ll be really bad for me :frowning:

hahahaha we have all had that phase

Maybe some of us should call the office today, and report back here what the AOs say.

We can try calling during a common time period and ask the same questions and then compare the answers.

Yep, that’s exactly what I was thinking too. We can get a more clear sense then I think.

We can call at 2:10 eastern time since they come back at two.

Sounds like a topic for a scientific work.

  1. Has the committee started reviewing waitlist applications yet?

  2. When will waitlist decisions be released?

  3. (If the answer is June to the last question) Is there any possibility of it being released in May?

  4. How is the class filling up currently?

  5. How is the deposit/yield rate looking like this year?

  6. What will be the scope of waitlist activity this year?

Here are some questions that I usually ask, we can decide which ones we want to ask.

No, collective psychological work on the impact of lunch on AOs

IB Chemistry was my favorite class in HS so far, but AP Calc BC almost killed me.

I would love to call my I’m international and it’s really expensive to call overseas :disappointed: But I would be very happy if you could all share what you talked!

Yeah I’ll call no problem.

Is anyone else calling to investigate the impact of lunch breaks for AOs?
