*** UPenn RD applicants discussion thread ***

I’m just waiting for my rejection. I’ve got a 33 ACT, 3.53 GPA and a couple of ECs, but nothing too outstanding. I’ll just hope.

I’m literally filling up with butterflies and a piecemeal surge of anxiety. THIS IS MY ****ING DREAM SCHOOL. CAN I GET IN??? :((

If you didnt apply for financial aid, does that admissions= true thing still apply, bc I couldnt find that anywhere

I’m going there if Penn/other ivies don’t work out

At this point, I don’t even care if I get hardcore rejected. I just want to stop worrying about it.

God I’m so nervous. My ACT score wasn’t very good but I’m hoping that my race, desired major and a little push from athletics will be enough to scrape me in by my eyelashes.

DD WL@Berkeley, U Chicago, CMU, rejected by dream school Duke, NWU, JHU with ACT 35, UWGPA 3.90, SAT I 2200, SAT II 740, 10 AP and 4 college courses, math competitions and good EC…all hopes vanished…I don’t get what does it take to get into a “most selective” school. Wished she only applied to a couple matches and a safety( which she has secured), to avoid the heartache and disappointment.

@captusica Nobody can predict what one needs to get into a particular college. College admissions are getting really competitive and random each year. I’m sure that your daughter will end up in a place where she’ll be very happy (maybe even one of the ivies!). Don’t lose hope.

What are you guys doing to pass the time? (I’m watching Race for the White House because I’m history trash >:D< )

@ringer05 What is a bad ACT score?

@Smythe Counting the minutes till it is out. lol

I have FA status and it is not anything new

@nodaysoff97 wait, that’s real? Whartonrejects dot com?

@Vanskelig hahaha no it’s just a link to NYU Stern

Step 1) I wake up
Step 2) I check my email
Step 3) I get into UPenn

Except the order is 2,3,1 fml

Its almost 3 am where I live and I’m still awake :frowning: whY

In all seriousness, there is just about 11 hours left. I really hope you all get in, but if you don’t it will be fine. You all obviously have high ambition and lots of guts, just because you were even willing to simply apply to UPenn. No matter where you guys go, you will surely excel. Don’t let the decision make you forget who you are. Good luck everyone!

Go to sleep people! (Like @soph1112 :)) ) There’s no point in staying awake right now. :slight_smile:
Trust me, where I live, it would be 4:30 am in the morning when the decisions come out. And although I would be really stressed out and might only fall asleep at around 2 am, I think it would be best to sleep till 8 am for me! :))

Basically, all I want to say is, that there is no point in worrying right now, and we should not lose our sleep to stress. Relax, and hope for the best. :slight_smile:

Good advice. I have to be up in three hours for school anyways! Goodnight all. :slight_smile:

I live in England so mine will be in at 10pm :((

For some reason I’m actually really excited for the few hours before the decisions come out - if it was anything like it was for ED everyone will just start freaking out together. I don’t know. It’s kinda cute. :))
