I got mine about a day and a half after I submitted my application and it says under 48h on the common app. No need to worry.
SOS quick question does rolling admissions (Temple University) violate the ED agreement?
Penn, like most schools, give a grace period for items not in your control. You however, need to get your part in on time.
It would be beyond annoying. Admissions does not coordinate the interviews; the alumni office does. While they try to interview all applicants, the reality is that they will not based upon the number of interviewers in the region. Have patience.
ahhh Just applied ED to Wharton… I’m scared… I saw everyone talking about “hooks” what are those?
@pephen104 same!!! O_O
btw… whats the penncard number (8 digits) for financial aid?
PLEASE HELP!!!
Which is the better score to apply to Wharton with
680 R 750 M 790 W (10E) : 2220 SAT
or
32 E 36M 31R 34S (24E) :34 ACT
GUYS someone make a results post with all your stats and stuff
Would a bad subject test score hurt my chances? like 660?
Hi!
I just applied ED and was wondering if any of you noticed that the ED Agreement or Counselor Recommendation was missing from their Penn Applicant Portal?
@xoxo27 my counselor hasn’t turned in her recommendation yet. She told me that counselors are allowed to turn there things in a few days late since they have so much to do. Maybe you should talk to your counselor just to make sure?
Hey guys. I wanted to ask if a 1450 super score on the NEW sat is good enough? Does anyone know what the average would be for the redesigned Sat?
Just submitted my application last night! When will my penn applicant portal be created?
@ccwwbb If you have to pick one I would go with the ACT, it’s a little higher. And they may not love the 680 CR…the 31 R is better. Just my opinion. You could send both and hope they just use whichever one they think is better. But I think I would just send the ACT. 34 is a great score and I think more like a 2250…but not sure!!
Applying with this:
SAT: 2210, M:800 , CR:710, W:700
SAT2: French 800, , Math 2 800, Physics 790
GPA=5.0 weighted ( 4.0 unweighted)

@RednBlueIvyCarter Easiest way to get your application automatically rejected is to use a pre-written essay.
@RednBlueIvyCarter hahaha thank you for that it was hilarious!
Submitted my application last night and it was probably the scariest thing I’ve ever done. Best of luck to everyone and let’s hope that December 15th comes quickly!
Good luck to all!
@pephen104 @BehindYou
Hooks are like unique traits/qualities/ that set you apart from other candidates. Being a male nurse, or first generation student, or founding a club, or being captain of 3 sports teams are examples of hooks!
