UPenn DMD Applicants 2020 Thread

@desperate0128 Sup! Saw your (identical) post on the Upenn RD 2020 thread. I’m definitely not a qualified chancer, but I can dish out some opinions if you’re willing.

Your HL subjects are almost exactly on point for DMD, looks like you’ve planned it well in advance (me too…if only my HS offered Group 6 subjects). Predicted IB 40 is very respectable (especially with HL Art), SAT score looks solid (especially with M 800), and your SAT IIs look good to go too - the Spanish might raise some eyebrows, but it shouldn’t matter too much. Like I said, I’m not qualified but at the very least, you’re definitely no shoo-out.

You’re welcome to join the club, with the release date creeping near we can all fret together about DMD right here :smiley:

@greenstranger thank you for chancing me! hope we both get in :smiley:

ACCEPTED!

@desperate0128 Excellent - congratulations!! See you next life I guess, I got waitlisted :’) I’ll be over at USC for a good package to study CS (and possibly their famous CS Games). Enjoy yourself at Penn/DMD! From one aspiring graphics engineer to another, I hope our paths cross in the future :slight_smile:

@aych1686 @sulkyle98 Hey people! What’s the news?

@greenstranger hey!! I GOT IN!! waiting on financial aid, so pray for me!
and i’ve been waitlisted at chicago, which sucks, but we all have other schools that are meant for us. and you’re so lucky, my friends applied to USC and didn’t get in! its an amazing school

@sulkyle98 Thanks man! Yeah I’m pretty hyped :> Can’t say I’m not a bit shaken by Penn though…

Hope you get that aid! Hahah either way you’re gonna earn big bucks straight out of DMD, you guys get more than Wharton grads. All the best in the program! Here’s to getting into…whichever’s your dream company (Pixar/Disney/Dreamworks/Bluesky/Illumination?) :smiley:
