@pennplz oh, I’m right in LA— Beverly Hills
https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/college-university-search/university-of-pennsylvania seems like decisions come out 12/15?
@Yarnweaver what in that profile makes you think it’s 12/15?
In the “deadlines” tab it says “College will notify Student of Early Decision by” 12/15
Girl from CA targeting in French. I also panic 24/7.
I really hope it’s next Friday I literally cannot wait any longer.
@DelilahRhodes oh hey LA! I’m from the valley
When does Penn ED come out?
@Yarnweaver that seems very likely. I check the notification dates for all Ivies on Bigfuture, and it said Dec 15 pretty much everywhere
I think it might come out on 9th as they have given until 9th Jan for ED applicants to send in confirmations. And once I looked at the gap between confirmation date and result date, I realized all colleges give a month for ppl to send confirmations. So, according to this, HOPEFULLY THE ED RESULT WILL BE OUT BY 9TH.
@CiccioPenn a Saturday?? Do decisions come out on weekends?
I don’t know…But according to the 1-month response thing, maybe.
It is always a Friday. The question is whether it is December 8 or 15. Hopefully they’ll release the official notification date in advanced (maybe today as it’s 1 week out from the 8th).
@swanfactor Well I think it could change this year because of the application deadline extension. Cornell has already changed from the 7th to the 11th, and other universities are releasing on the 12th. That being said, most colleges are still releasing on the 15th from what I’ve heard.
What do you guys think is behind the decision to release decisions on Fridays? Why would they stick to one day of the week in particular?
They have many considerations, maybe to minimize the impact on schools, a weekend to rejoice, or sorrow etc.
Three years ago decisions came out on MONDAY, 12/15
I called Penn and was told week of the 11th… no specific date yet though…
@Igotmyionyou Thank you!! Well that seems to eliminate the 8th (second Friday of December which seemed to be the trend)
Yep /: Gotta go re-set my countdown hah
