In terms of the party life, definitely a work hard play hard mentality. Visited my friend a couple of weeks ago and there’s always multiple frat parties going on or you can go downtown (as long as you have a fake). The school is very lenient on drinking and is even provided at many on campus venues like the castle. Basically you can be as social as you want to be
Happy #questday from Philadelphia! We are so excited to welcome the first members of #penn21 through QuestBridge National Match. Dare to dream big and we can’t wait to meet you!
Strange. If you don’t hear back by mid morning, maybe call admissions. Did someone say they head these needed to be done by the 20th?? I’m not sure if there is any kind of deadline.
@highschooldude17 I’m almost certain it will be the 16th of December. Penn always releases ED results on Fridays (so kids have time to process over the weekend and won’t be able to bother the admissions office), and Dec. 16 falls perfectly into mid-December.
@Arronn I disagree that you should NOT call admissions. I think you should because they might find it strange that you were supposed to have an interview and didn’t. You don’t want them to think that you blew it off. I would want them to understand what happened. Of course you would be very courteous and not bad mouth the interviewer, but just politely let them know that something must have come up because your interviewer was unable to make your meeting and you just wanted to make them aware. That’s just my opinion. It’s probably not a big deal either way, but I would set the record straight.
