Thanks!

Also seeking input from others about a UPenn interview. D22 applied ED (Bay Area, CA) and hasn’t heard from them.

hi. I have also applied to upenn ED. I have not got any interviews. I am also from Chennai.

I applied on Oct 29 and I completed my interview on Nov 10. As noted everywhere, getting or not getting an interview seems to have no bearing on the admission decision.

D22, ED BioChemistry (So. Cal), Financial Aid indicates “Received and Ready to Review”. Heard some say “In Review” may be a good sign but the above statement was just provided today. Not sure how I need to interpret this. Any comment is appreciated.

Mr. John - Every college has some variation of “in review”, “already processed” (UChicago), “ready to review” (GTech), … I do not think it is an indication of anything. I have applied ED to Penn but did not apply for financial aid, so my financial aid status shows “You have chosen not to apply for financial aid”. Best wishes.

will I be rejected if I chose to pursue financial aid, but haven’t filled anything out yet besides the fafsa?

17

The financial aid department works separately from the admission comity so “In Review” is neither a good nor bad sign. It does not have any connection to your admission status!

UPenn web site says below, so we expect some communication today or tomorrow .

  • application cycle.

*We will notify all Early Decision applicants of the exact time and date of our decision release at least one week ahead of time so that they can be aware of when to expect their admissions decision.

Anyone applying Upenn SEAS ED here? If so, could someone expand on it’s competitiveness in comparison to for example, Wharton?

I applied ED for SEAS! I’m not sure about competitiveness compared to Wharton, but I’m assuming Wharton is more competitive considering that they’re ranked #1 in undergrad business programs.
