@shadyconcepts I think I will probably just not do it. I don’t want to annoy them, and I highly doubt that whoever picks up the phone will know anything.
@greeny8 I was a legacy 
I really appreciate your confidence in me. I hope that my patience with this whole process really pays off
Haha deferred applicant here as well
Will send in my update in a few days
You don’t email it to them btw, you upload it through the portal
@ShaunakK98 oh that makes sense! I haven’t checked back in my portal in a long time lol
Had my interview a few days ago. It was pretty difficult but went well overall, I think. Good luck to everyone who’s doing theirs soon!
Do all M&T applicants get interviewed by an M&T alumnus? I haven’t been contacted yet.
why haven’t i been contacted yet either??
What does an update letter consist of? And is it required?
I’m under the impression that an alumni interview doesn’t really mean anything. Is that true?
Hey y’all. I applied to Penn RD as an intended art history major. My alumni interview is next week. Penn was my first “college true-love” haha so I really hope that I am accepted. I’ve been in contact with my admissions officer for my region and met him twice so I help the rapport I’ve established helps a little- I need all the help I can get
Can we submit any supplementary materials to Penn (e.g. research stuff)
I put a link to my paper in the additional info section, but idk about actually submitting anything else @ultimate314
@ultimate314 You could have submitted abstracts in lieu of a resume on the supplement
D just received an email from an alum to give my D potential dates and time to pick for her interview. She picked next week…Fingers & Toes crossed as U Penn is one of her tippy top favorites!
Yo, one of the things I always hear about is how people from smaller states are nervous. If you’re from a small state, you should definitely check this out: http://www.thedp.com/article/2016/01/admissions-office-diversity
The Daily Pennsylvanian (Penn’s newspaper) met with Penn’s president, and she talked a lot about how the accepted students are coming from more and more parts of the country. Hopefully that means the entire class isn’t just Philadelphians and Californians haha
Really? I always thought that it was more competitive to get in from the big states because more kids are applying from there.
interview coming up in 45 minutes… hope this one goes better than my Princeton interview
Hi everyone! Deferred SCEA from Harvard here, but Penn was always my true love! I think I just could not deal with binding ED.
Hey those of you that already had your interviews, what are the questions like? Any offbeat ones? Thanks.
I’ve heard that all applicants who get into M&T are notified through a likely letter. Is that true? If yes, A) by when does Penn start sending out LLs, and B) if one does not get a LL, does that mean that one is rejected from M&T?
I personally know only one M&T admit, and he had a LL
I think all admits to dual degree programs receive a likely letter late February or early March. Not sure if any hear back on the regular decision date. @anotherdude
