Just wait until Penn makes the official announcement about the date. File it under “It is what it is.” No point in stressing about it now.
@skieurope Thanks!
Penn has said that March 28. It’s was in the letter to deffered ED applicants.
Where can I find the email address of my regional admissions officer?
Hey guys, I was wondering is it too late to add something to my application? I just joined the lacrosse team and I didn’t put it before because i had no intention of joining but I ended up joining. Would it Impact my application by much??
@starry89 it’s probably not worth sending a one-off email to say you joined a new club in the spring of your senior year.
@starry89 , I agree with @aoeuidhtns . I added something to my application recently-on Sunday (internships and community service) but I think it mattered a bit since it included accomplishments unlike joining a team in the middle of senior year (not that it’s not important). Just hope for the best!
my why penn supp was super generic and boring, so i’m not hoping for too much lol
what does it mean if I was interviewed for by an alumni? I’m a nursing major btw and I feel like I bombed the interview.
@pingotip So admissions can get a better sense of who you are. In what ways did you feel that you bombed the interview?
@MrElonMusk I made a fool out of myself since I have bad communication skills. I stuttered a lot, and it was just an awkward conversation overall. I hope they saw my earnestness at least
I would say that I was a little too confident that I would get in to UCI so I didn’t care much for the interview at the time.
@pingotip Same as you. I get very nervous and end up blurting out runoff sentences and the like. At least we showed them who we truly are. That’s what really counts.
if you are applying as a nursing major and havent gotten a likely letter, does that mean that you didn’t get in?
Hey, guys! How do I send updates to the admissions office? Do I just send an email?
@immadreamer Let’s hope not :-SS
@littlechild upload to portal, don’t email
@pingotip The interviews don’t count that much so don’t stress yourself. (I mean, someone got an interview request a day before the decisions so…). I haven’t/didn’t received an interview request (which sucks tbh but oh well). It also depends on how bad you would rate it - On a scale of 1 to 10? (Don’t exaggerate it because you’re nervous). Also, did your interviewer look at you like you were crazy? (if he laughed it off and you were able to make a good impression at some point then hope for the best!)
schools put out information called common data sets each year that gives statistics of admission and insight into admission decisions. here is the one from last year. the important factors in applications grouping is on page 8.
interview is listed under “important” out of “very important, important, considered, not considered.”
