im so SHOOK the waiting is the worst part
gosh i wanna get in so bad 
honestly hoping my slime business bring me in
Yeah, I really need to get a grip. Bake cookies. Put up Christmas decorations. Have some chamomile tea. Finish outlining essays for RD schools. Anything would be more productive than this slow-burn freak out I’m doing here. No finals today. One tomorrow. So I’m home with nothing to do but try to study for an exam I’m already going to ace, or find something to occupy my mind.
Just had my first stress cry of the day… 9.5 hours to go… Stay calm everyone, and remember to be proud of yourself no matter what, because the decision does not change who you are.
This is hands down the most supportive thread I’ve ever seen.
Hahaha I really love thread. I hope we all get to meet at Penn!!
Will a high percentage of us be deferred? Or is it mostly just accepted and rejected?
Based on the other college’s threads, probably mostly deferred. Good luck guys!! Sending positive vibes to you all, take a breather, it’ll be alright 
.
Penn told me they only defer those who have a chance getting in regular, meaning it’s not over with a deferral! Good luck to everyone. Feeling strangely calm this morning but know I will be uncontrollably anxious in a few hours. I hope to see everyone on Locust Walk next year. Today isn’t the be-all-end-all, remember that. It’s what you do at college not where you go.
Does anyone know how many deferred end up being accepted during RD?
This article offers advice to deferred students and says: “Acceptance rates for deferred early applicants are typically a few percentage points higher than overall regular decision acceptance rates.”

@swanfactor me too!
I don’t know why, but rn I’m in the mindset that I’ll see what my portal says @ 6 (where I live) and if I’m deferred or rejected, I’ll take it from there. :’)
Someone on this 2016 thread says:
“Penn accepted 14% of its deferrals last year (2015). That number is more than double the regular decision acceptance rate.”
BTW for the people asking about the financial aid package, my friend who got accepted to Cornell on Monday (YAY!!) said the package comes out after you confirm that you are going. But if the financial package is not good enough for you, you can rescind your confirmation.
I just saved my draft of the results thread. Hopefully i get to say i was accepted.
Hope everyone could be accepted! I will get the decision in my next morning.
For applicants from Asia and Oceania: Good Night!
my decision comes out at 5:30am! planning to stay up the whole night
@Chipotlegurl28 Applying from India? Good luck!
@vakilmohit yup! You too?

Comes at 5:30 for me. Not sure if I’ll be able to sleep.
Made baking plans with friends, because I’ll need that either way.
