@lmaowutt that’s godly
I remember this time last year, it was hard, really hard just waiting! I wish you all luck, and if Penn is where you end up next fall - Go Quakers! If not, I promise you will be fine!
@thebly I am sorry but if its 55 out of 1000 applicants that is 5.5%!!! That is super low!
@kungfukenny a random question but is there a reason why you put Camus as your profile picture lol
26 hours and 54 minutes left guys!!!
@thebly it is actually interesting that huntsman doesn’t publish any admission statistics!
As a legacy, I’ve wanted to go to Penn for sooooo long. My mom would always tell me amazing stories about college and I’ve visited with her many times. It feels like I’ve been waiting to know my decision for my whole life and it’s crazy that we’re finding out TOMORROW!!!
I procrastinated writing my regular decision essays so now if I don’t get in I have so many to write ! My anxiety stems so much from laziness it’s sad
For those of you who get accepted tomorrow… spend the next year looking for a hefty winter coat. the weather here is unforgiving
@jackthealmighty It’s the truth. That’s why if you apply ED, you get a decent boost.
@jackthealmighty bro camus? you mean the sexiest philosopher? The Stranger slaps bro, I gotta respect all thicc homies such as my mans Camus here! Lol but yeah, The Stranger is my favorite philosophical book, so gotta rep the man in some way shape or form, u feel
Hey Guys,
I’m writing this because I think I can make the assumption that everyone who applied ED is freaking out (including myself), and that it would be therapeutic to get my thoughts and emotions out with people in a similar predicament. This week has probably been the most stressful yet exciting week of my life. So much so that I’ve unironically become religious in an effort to boost my chances of hearing the music play at an uncomfortably high volume and being greeted to a “Congratulations!” once I log in to the portal tomorrow at 7. What I’m trying to get at in this post is that ultimately, your aspirations and dreams should not be stopped based off whether a committee of admissions officers deem you to be “Penn-Material” or not. Of course, you’ve probably heard that a million times by teachers, friends, guidance counselors, or whomever you’ve ranted to about your anxieties as you await a decision, but as we near judgement day, it becomes more important than ever to hold onto that advice. Regardless of whatever happens: acceptance, deferral, or rejection, just know that there’s someone out there who believes that you can achieve whatever you set your ambitions and talents towards. Even more importantly, your successes should be based on your own accord, not that of whatever school you end up attending. Don’t get me wrong, I want to go to Penn so badly that in my supplement my first sentence was “To be frank, I love this school.”. In all, you all have something to be proud of and to celebrate, as accepting yourself for who you are is the first step in making the best out of life.
Wishing you all good fortune and relief,
-The Boy
@theboydudus omg I’m not even kidding I’ve tried to become religious during this time too! But it hasn’t worked haha still an atheist as of now!
There are always different schools. Yes, all of us would die to go to Penn, but even if we don’t, there are so many great uni’s out there and so many opportunities that we should just take what we get. good luck to everyone in 26 hours
In my head I really know that it will be okay no matter where I go to college because there are so many amazing universities that I am applying to, and yet I still feel so nervous! I wish I could just calm down
@kungfukenny cool bruh hahaha is ur intended major philosophy? I did fair amount of philosophical reading… the Stranger is very good but I rate Satre more… just because Satre actually wrote treatise but not disguise his philosophy into fiction like what Ayn Rand did…
@jackthealmighty unspecified social sciences, but i was going to go for either PPE or philosophy anyways, shoot for those too… and damn u right ayn rand rlly do be garbage. i like sartre too
@kungfukenny just finished reading The Stranger like two days ago! It was awesome
thanks for all the motivation guys!!! lol that made me feel better I applied to Penn Nursing ED. Good luck to all of you!!
Jeezzzz… 24 hr mark is coming up soon. Once you see that video its a GG.
