UPenn ED Class of 2021 Discussion Thread

i think if its not next week, it’ll be the 15th at latest. that seems to be the latest decision day for ED schools… the 16th is just cruel

I’m thinking they don’t want to post the decision today becasue it’ll clash with quest bridge decisions… maybe sometime soon (tomorrow!!!)

If I feel this nervous to just find out the date of the decision how am I gonna feel the day before the actual decision??

@andpeggyy Congrats to your classmate! Ugh I can just imagine Penn’s admissions officers coming on here and watching us torture ourselves with speculation and chuckling haha

Unfortunately, the 16th is going to look like more of a reality after today. Gonna be a long two weeks.

Why does it seem like the 16th now?

I’m just a junior and I’m not even looking that hard into Penn but I have it bookmarked. How did 320 posts get added since last night at like 11? Wow

@Soccer1235 Haha you underestimate the power of overly stressed seniors

But the other ivy/top-tier school threads have only a fraction of the activity here! Maybe something about Penn is so intensely desired by so many people? :))

Lol I love how the admissions officers said absolutely nothing regarding when the date would be released but here we are waiting for 9am…12pm…3pm…5pm…6pm…etc. It’s funny bc they probably have no idea that we’re killing ourselves over this and expecting them to do it sometime today. I really hope the date is released soon… Does anyone else re-read their common app again and try to process what the admissions officers might be looking at right this second? Idk why I do that I should stop bc all i can think about are ways my application could have been better. I also try to justify why i’d be a good applicant (tho that’s just me being hopeful) but idk it’s such a bad habit i need to be stopped. Btw i love you guys and wish you all the absolute best during these next 2 weeks and beyond!

@feelthefern that’s sounds awful. I won’t even look at the app, without feeling nauseous

@Dartmouth_21 thanks! I calculated it. Of the 6000(round up 1) about a 1000 are legacy applicants. About 450ish will be admitted

@Soccer1235 The Princeton SCEA applicants have a Groupme chat, so that’s why that thread is pretty inactive.

Last year people were notified of ed results on friday december 11 at 3pm. I’m praying that we might get it the 9th. Previous years, though, got notified Monday, so that’d translate to the 12th for us…

Last year the email went out on December 8 and they got decisions the 11th. They knew the date on December 1 though!

I’d be okay with the 12th I think. Anything before the 16th at this point!! Lol

@masquerade98 Thanks! I’m sure he’s ecstatic, and he really deserves it. I think we really deserve to know the date too though, haha!

Iv heard this penn thread is truly different thn the other ones so far

Hey guys! I’m new to the thread, but do you guys think they will release the decision date tomorrow?? The suspense is killing me.

Who is up for a collective push to get them to release the date ASAP? I’m thinking mass tweet storm at penn admissions account or mass calls shortly after school ends at 3 pm EST
