UPenn Peep fly in 2019

we should contact each other! i would love to hear about y’all!

New to this thread, but I got in. Excited to meet y’all!

I got in!

4.0, 1550 single sitting, 9 APs so far (5 on all). Founded 2 clubs (politics and STEM-related), officer of 2 more (Model UN and Mock Trial). Also did medical-biochem research for 2 summers. I also applied with a bunch of international-level Model UN awards, QB CPS, National French Exam, a few state/regional science fair awards, and a few misc school awards/honor societies.

White male, low income and first gen.

So. I’m gonna bite the bullet and ask: does this mean that I’m probably getting into Penn?

@polivia yes, definitely!

Is there a group chat for the accepted people?

i don’t think so,

I got in too!!! Very excited to meet everyone!

does someone want to create a GC? maybe we can move to something anonymous like reddit and then share phone numbers? i’m so excited also what i’ve never flown across the country myself!!! west coast girl is super excited @steicy @OopIAnd @champagnepapi @Imhereforthelulz @lee5599joo

I think an insta group chat would work best.

@OopIAnd yes let’s do that

@steicy is there any way to share our ig usernames not through this thread?

GO!

@lee5599joo Unfortunately, you need 15 posts in order to PM. ?

@lee5599joo Not that I know of. I can put my username on here and whoever wants to join the gc can DM me

We will just do that. My Instagram is @steicypaiva

Hey current Penn student here who came in with many kids who attended PEEP…everyone who went to PEEP got in…pretty much as good as a likely letter if you continue an upward trend in HS. Good Luck!!

What Penn is looking to do with PEEP is not only find underrepresented minorities necessarily but to also find students from underrepresented areas AND backgrounds. So its an effort to diversify the school and so by being invited, you’re a student the school is looking at closely. Only students of interest to the school get invited. At this point you want to apply to the school Early Decision like I did. If you love Penn and want to come here, this will be a HUGE gesture of sincerity to Penn that you WILL attend if admitted. Hope that puts my earlier comment into perspective for you. Hope to see you on campus next fall

This is my first post on College Confidential! I recently was invited to apply for the Penn Early Exploration Program (PEEP), applied, and was accepted. PEEP is an all-expenses-paid, 3-day fly-in program for prospective students who identify as underrepresented minorities. I will definitely be going in the fall, but I am just curious as to what sort of benefit this may have in the application process and how selective this actually is. Let me know if you have gone, were accepted, or just have basic insight on this sort of thing. Thank you!

@jonathane0425 is that even for regular decision? Or do you have to apply early decision?

Hey Guys,
Excited to meet everyone at PEEP 2019! See you in a couple days.
