Any likely letters?

Has anyone not gotten contacted for an interview yet? Classmates at my school applying to Penn have done their interviews but I haven’t even been emailed or anything. Sorry if this has been posted before.

@james1998iq I only recently got mine done yesterday and was only contacted a few days prior to that - so they’re still doing them! You might still be able to get one.

@musicianforlife thank you so much!

Is it possible for a student to be admitted to a dual degree program without a likely letter?

@stvea349 I believe that students have been admitted to dual-degree programs before without likely letters.

I have also heard that likely letters for M&T are sent toward the end of February anyway, so you may yet receive one.

Good luck!

Thanks @aBitOfLuck ! I applied for the Huntsman and I wanna know ASAP although obv. with chances so slim for any of these programs all I can do is hope haha

@stvea349 I commiserate with you: I would love to hear from Fisher M&T!

Didnt get a likely from Penn yet, but I did get one from Columbia :-p

Does anyone know when UPenn will send out likely letters…?

@lolacell I think Penn has already sent a few, but it will likely continue to send them for approximately the next three weeks. Another wave should come in two weeks.

@lolacell I’m not sure of the exact date, but they will probably be sent in waves (in the past years, it was the regular colleges first, and then dual degree programs 1-2 weeks later) around this time. Ivies are allowed to send likely letters from October 1st to March 15th, so we could receive one anytime until then. According to previous years, Penn sends an email followed by a paper letter. Even so, likely letters only go to 10% of the applicants, so we can still be accepted on March 31st if we don’t receive one! :slight_smile:

@aBitOfLuck do you know of any dual degree admits who have got a likely yet?

I think I heard of one.

Doesn’t Penn post on their admissions website or admissions blog (or twitter account) when they send out likely letters? I haven’t seen a post yet and nobody has claimed one yet here on CC so they probably have not gone out yet. Just my speculation.

Last year there were two Daily Pennsylvanian articles about LLs. One on Feb 15th and one at the beginning of March

I agree that likely letters probably haven’t gone out this year, but it’s now later than Penn’s usual release date in previous years. When do you guys think likely letters will be sent this year? Have international students received them in the past?

In no way do I remotely expect to get a LL, but I do find it a bit strange that NOTHING has been said on the Penn thread here about getting one

I agree. Regardless of the decidedly UNlikely occurrence that I would receive one, where are they?
