<p>eh i thought U penn releases their decisions on mid may.</p>
<p>Yes. He’s right about the waves though, I remember reading about it last year. The earlier on you’re accepted, the more they wanted you, so as the days drag on, your chances go down.</p>
<p>Brutal, but bear in mind the 16% acceptance rate.</p>
<p>In the meanwhile, what major did everyone apply for?</p>
<p>CAS Music here.</p>
<p>oh yeah i meant may 16 haha
it seems so far away…</p>
<p>regarding the waitlist, take a look at this:</p>
<p>"… the yield rate at Penn has risen substantially in recent years.</p>
<p>“Hitting the waitlist” does not necessarily imply low yield; rather, the need to utilize the waitlist indicates that initial admissions were made conservatively (ie, assuming a higher yield than likely to result) in order to avoid over-enrolling (as both Penn and Cornell have done in the recent past. Its harder to make accurate projections when the class size is larger.)"</p>
<p>so if they predict lower yield because of the economy, maybe less or even no waitlisting? it’s all speculation though.</p>
<p>Top Top, what major?</p>
<p>CAS biological science here</p>
<p>do they have any interview for transfer students?</p>
<p>Has anyone else found the Penn Portal to be somewhat unreliable? I have had 3 letters of recommendation sent to Penn (all in late January or early February) and they are still listed as being missing. Also, my dean’s report is listed as missing although I know that was sent in early February and all of the other 8 schools I have applied to have received it. Should I be worried or is this relatively normal?</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten a code yet =(</p>
<p>Violaghost-When did you submit your application? I submitted mine at the end of January and I didn’t get my code until the end of February.</p>
<p>I submitted mine on March 14th, so I guess it might be a little while.</p>
<p>CAS french and italian</p>
<p>yeah, I submitted on March 15th, but I need to know if everything’s in. how can I check?</p>
<p>and CAS PPE</p>
<p>We should get access to the portal… soon, hopefully.</p>

<p>Yes, there is a midterm report.</p>
<p>[Penn</a> Admissions: Apply Online or Request an Application](<a href=“http://www.admissionsug.upenn.edu/applying/incoming.php]Penn”>http://www.admissionsug.upenn.edu/applying/incoming.php)</p>
<p>Go down and click “Form 4: Mid-Term Grade Report for Transfer Students. (63K)”</p>
<p>important question about the midterm report:</p>
<p>okay, it says “school” right under where we put our name and address, but is that high school or the college we currently attend?</p>
<p>Im pretty sure that’s your college.</p>
<p>okay, phew!</p>
