Wow. Those stats are incredible. Your son should be proud of what he accomplished. With those stats he will do well wherever he lands!

Son Waitlisted: any info on how many students get off waitlist in the past?

Daughter was waitlisted. :cry: She’d been rejected for the Penn 3-4 dental program earlier in the day with another school, so I’m a little surprised she even got that. Not holding our breath to get off the waitlist. Sounds like a lot of people get waitlisted and very few get off the list.

This is the last CDS report available, scroll to Section C2. You can Google “UPenn Common Data Set” to see other years.

Did they send out an email? Or do you just go to the portal and look?
DS didn’t get an email.

No email. Most colleges don’t send out an email, which is super annoying IMO. Just have to check the portal.

I didn’t think they would. But Harvard did (not sure if that’s good or bad lol). So, then I was curious. DS is at an away baseball game so we won’t look at either school until we’re together.

The waiting is :weary:

D ACCEPTED! Penn Dual Degree program (VIPER: Engineering and Science)…she is so happy!
(Waitlisted Harvard, Princeton , Columbia, Brown…may or may not stay on all 4 )
