*** UPenn RD applicants discussion thread ***

@beaglee105 I submitted both FAFSA and CSS. I also sent them the tax returns and stuffs.
I am not an international applicant tho. I’m OOS.

FYI - got this email today:

"Dear ####

We will post admissions decisions on Thursday, March 31, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. E.D.T. Your decision can be viewed by visiting the Penn Applicant Portal.

We have enjoyed getting to know you through this process."

same, everyone got the same email

I got the email. Did everyone get the email?

I am always late :wink:

@cheerleader16 same! I thought they were mentally preparing me for a rejection, but it seems like everyone’s said the same thing.

@hlsidle I really hope that’s the case.

@marie122 My school also uses the 6 school but a class rank is not reported. Maybe Penn has their own way of calculating the GPA or maybe they just scan over the grades and the scores taken and make a relative comparison …

@rik123 I really hope Penn has their own way of calculating GPA cause otherwise I will be wrecked. Our school does not have even the tiniest bit of grade inflation and getting an A in an AP class is hard. If unweighted GPA is used, then Penn won’t even look twice at my application cause my GPA is severely lacking.

@marie 122 sorry…meant courses taken not scores…

@marie122 yeah same here…in my school getting an A in AP Classes is much much harder than doing so in nearby schools…but Im sure they will look into the transcript in more detail than just skimming the unweighted GPA

I didn’t get an email, I even checked my spam box. Does that mean I got rejected?

CC is literally why I have anxiety. Why yall gotta start conspiracy theories about mass emails? They are automated and go to everyone

I didn’t get one either D:

I applied to Jerome Fisher and my last name is near the end of the alphabet, are either of those why?

So glad everyone got that extremely short email. I thought I was being rejected already

@zzeemmnntt my last names starts with Y & I got one

Hey guys, let’s breath for a moment. We all got the same email, so our status of admissions is not paved in stone quite yet. If you haven’t recieved the email, then chances are you will receive it in the next 24 hours or so, as it may work by time zone. As for everyone else, no conspiracy theories; you’re scaring the masses :-SS
But I wish everyone luck in this pursuit and I know that all of you are intelligent and high-achieving people who will succeed.

@Cosmopolitian13 well the masses get rejected thats what makes it an ivy league Lolololol [-X

@zzeemmnntt You should join the Fisher 2020 thread
