I messed up my Penn essays… I’m an international student…Applied to the m&t program/Wharton… Worst nightmare ever!
DS got the interview invitation today.
Do the interviewers provided with applicant’s background information such as resume, essays?
@Bader316 no they are not.
@MaybeHarvard2022 Thanks.
My guidance counselor said they’re just volunteer alumni and don’t work for admissions, so they can’t see your app, grades, scores, etc.
Anyone not get an interview email yet I read somewhere that around 90% of applicants get interviews… any truth to that?
@musicandscience I didn’t receive anything about an interview yet (although it’s probably because I only applied a few days ago). There’s plenty of time and they’re still processing all the applications so I wouldn’t worry.
Does anyone know what representative work for the art portfolio supplement means? There’s a checkbox indicating that a piece is representative work for each piece of art you upload. I tried looking it up but there are differing answers.
@snickerdoodling im pretty sure it means that the piece was done off of observation. As in you drew something that really existed right in front of you. I THINK. Not sure.
I didn’t get an interview email yet. Applied to Huntsman/Wharton in December.
@musicandscience, I went to an info session with Furda and he said they are trying to make sure everyone got an interview. If the interviewer can’t meet you in person, then they’ll try to do a phone interview with the applicant. However, he said that if by some chance they can’t get to you and you don’t get offered one, that doesn’t mean you won’t get admitted.
Thank You so much!
I didn’t get an email either. I submitted my app at around 11:30pm on the 5th (lol)
I applied in November :/// oh well
Are you in a state or area where it might be more difficult to find an interviewer?
@lrose00 Submitted mine at 11:50 p.m. so I’m glad I’m not the only procrastinator on here
@summerhazed I submitted mine at 11:55 pm. I was starting to worry that something would go wrong
I never received a confirmation email from penn after submitting my application. after a few days i went to their portal, typed in info i use for my other applicant portals and it surprisingly worked. the whole thing was a bit weird…
Hey guys! ED applicant here—I got an email about having an interview the day before they were due and had a very informal Skype interview the next day. Don’t worry if you don’t get one since there are so many applicants and stuff. gl!
I live in NYC…
