PHILADELPHIA, PA – On Wednesday, March 28 at 7:00 p.m., the University of Pennsylvania will announce admission decisions for Regular Decision applicants to the Class of 2022, the institution’s 266th class.
The admitted cohort of 3,731 was selected from a pool of 44,491 applicants. Penn enrolls a freshman class of 2,445 students across the College of Arts & Sciences, Penn Engineering, the Wharton School, and the School of Nursing.
“Every class contains a vast array of perspectives, and we continue to be proud of the many diversities represented in this incoming class. This year, one out of seven students in our admitted class are the first in their families to attend college. Since hosting the 2018 1vyG conference at Penn in January, student organizers have continued to contribute to the local and national conversation around access and equity in higher education. Our newest incoming students will continue to enrich and advance that community and conversation,” said Penn’s dean of admissions Eric J. Furda C’87.
Good luck everyone! I was accepted ED and it was definitely a terrific moment. For those accepted, relish in your accomplishments and be grateful for the opportunity and thank those that helped you. For those who do not get the results they were wishing for, you’ll get over it sooner than you think and this really doesn’t impact your future nearly as much as you think it is.
