@summerhazed Most transfers are pretty lateral to say the least, and many crave the academic culture and environment Chicago promotes vs the preprofessional focus of some unis. That’s why I applied ED.
UPenn the only reason I applied was b/c cogsci here is focused on theory vs application + I visited and liked it (Ramen house nearby)
Yeah that’s why I decided to withdraw my application to Chicago. The preprofessional nature of Penn definitely interests me, and while I do appreciate an academic focus, I need a more practical education than a theoretical one. So I probably won’t transfer to Chicago, but rather another top school if I need to.
Applying to the Wharton school!
Me too!
CAS 2022!
@Dankjewel When did you get your notification?
@nikolateslaxi No I just applied for CAS 2022. Sorry if I caught you off guard
Just submitted my app LOL I love waiting until the last minute to do things!! Good luck to everyone who applied!
Just submitted my application! I really wish I had started a little bit earlier, as my Why Penn essay isn’t as well-written or eloquent as I had hoped. However, despite its imperfections, I’m still proud of it, as it does answer the prompt well enough. Good luck to everyone else, and hopefully I’ll see you at Quaker Days in a few months!!!
Got deferred early. Last year they took 14% of the deferred students. Hopefully, I get in but then again, I’m applying to Wharton so rip.
welp I have two small errors on my why upenn essay but I applied for cas! love their english program
Applied to Wharton. I was gonna do SEAS but I realized the differences in acceptance rate is probably marginal and Wharton is too valuable to not try for. My main concentration would be Environmental Policy and Management… good luck everyone! I was rejected to Stanford and deferred from Michigan. But I’m staying hopeful and trusting in the process.
Any Wharton aspirant got alumni interview invitation yet?
@Bader316 Nope
Negative
I attended PEEP and applying to CAS! I received an email for an interview a couple days ago.
I’m applying to CAS too! I had my interview yesterday and it went very well. I’m worried though because my friend applied to Penn and her application is VERY similar to mine and she doesn’t even want to go there haha
My daughter applied to Wharton at the end of Dec, she just received an e-mail today for interview.
My D applied to CAS end of Dec and received her interview email today. Do they interview all applicants?
@quadaces they try to. it’s all depends on alumni availability.
