Starbucks. Always Starbucks. @vaselineeee
@vaselineeee Physical exertion (gym, heavy duty sports) helps if you’re generally a lazy ass like me.
Otherwise read thrillers.
Mostly trying to occupy myself with social media/books/christmas present buying- I’m on amazon all the time. @vaselineeee
Y’all I’m telling you if you order a bunch of stuff online waiting for the shipments will distract you for waiting for admissions
But actually study for finals bc I assume most of us are taking them next week or so right
KEY TIP: Remind yourself that your college doesn’t define you… Penn may be your dream school, but ultimately your college experience is up to YOU. I’m guessing a lot of the people on here are driven students who have already done a great job of setting themselves up for success in the future. I’m sure y’all will accomplish great things no matter where you go 
@daththiccboi I like your username
@krispythehuman thanks a lot! I really needed that
Wait so if they email today does that still make the initial release date of december 9th a possibility
@abpuma Happy to help… I’m sick of losing sleep about this for two weeks bc in the end I know it’s not worrying about. There’s SO much subjectivity in the college process and everything is completely out of my control at this point. If I get into Penn, I’ll be overjoyed and honestly shcoked; if I get deferred/rejected, I really have no other choice other than not let this get to me. Just bc I don’t get into my “dream school” doesn’t mean I can’t be excited about my future.
@krispythehuman thanks for the warm words!
My college counselor said,
"Remember that success in life is not determined by the bumper sticker on one’s car. As we’ve said over and over again throughout this process, it is not where you go to college, but what you do once you’re there that matters most. "
I should stop choking me with expectations and standards.
Good luck all with your finals!
On the other hand, my (totally misinformed) counselor says I have a 50-50 chance of getting in lol
Wait wait so we don’t have to send our first quarter grades unless they ask then?
No you didn’t have to send them. I sent them because I improved alot but I do t think it will even hurt you if you didn’t send them
Do you all know the dorm selection process once you get admitted?
No, you do not have to send them. Some HS’s, however, send them automatically to all ED/EA schools. If one did not send, it’s fine. If one did send, it’s not moving an application from the reject pile to the accept pile, IMO.
56/1800 QB applicants, and I thought QB was an easier way to get in…
I called Penn Admissions today. They said you will get an email today letting you know official notification date. On that date then you will get an email saying your applicant portal has been updated. You will then log in to your applicant portal on that date and it will tell you the decision.
@bradsmom Thanks for the information! At least knowing the date makes me feel better.
Anyone here a gambler. Who wants to take bets on when the decison date will be if they email today.
