UPenn RD Class of 2022 Discussion

Do Penn still give out T-shirts to accepted students? I heard they did for the ED students.

Did any accepted student get anything in the mail yet ?

@Differentiation Just got my package, but I live in Philadelphia so if you arenā€™t you might have to wait a couple days

@Angelababy30 I heard that they give out free t-shirts during Quaker Days.

I got the letter in the mail today, but I live in PA so

I got my package in NYC today!

Accepted to Penn CAS as Ben Franklin Scholar and Vagelos MLS Scholar!!!

i havenā€™t received a letter yet but iā€™m on the other side of pa so might take longer. part of me still thinks i didnā€™t actually get in lmao :))

@collage99 did you get into CAS or wharton?

For anyone out there: Donā€™t read stats and think they are set in stone. I had my heart set on Penn and was constantly told my stats were too low (with a 1350 SAT) yet I recieved my acceptance to the class of 2022 this week. Do you, donā€™t try to play with the numbers you canā€™t control. Not everyone has a perfect score, or perfect anything, and the ivies are looking for not just the best scores, but the best overall people. Let your passions shine through in your essays and extra cirriculuars and never give up!!

When does Penn rescind their offer? I am actually worrying about that now since I got a C in my english class and I donā€™t think I would be able to get it to a B by the end of my senior year. That is the only C and I have A and B in my other subjects.

I thought schools rescind for grades below a C.

@Animegirl2018 should I contact admission office and explain my situation or wait for my final transcript to be sent first?

To be on the safe side, I think you should call, so that they are already aware. Since final transcripts are usually sent in July, that would be too late to switch to another school, in the event that the worst case scenario does happen. @Angelababy30

@Animegirl2018 Does the Ivies rescind offers much? I heard they usually place people in academic probation if their grade slip in senior year (Not sure how much is true tho)

Are your final grades the only ones that matter, or do your quarter grades count as well? Iā€™m almost at a B in AP Lit, but worst case scenario, I may get a C this quarter. However, I got As in it the first two quarters, and feel confident I could at least get a B next quarter. So should I still be worried or am I alright? I have As in all my other classes, and I got into Penn with a C in a class already back in sophomore year.

To be honest, I donā€™t really know @Angelababy30, and I think only your final grades matter @summerhazed, if that is all your school put on your final transcripts (as in they donā€™t put quarter grades, only semester and final grades)

Well my school does report the quarter grades, so I guess I should probably try harder the rest of the quarter lol

Anyone joined the facebook group? I requested to join a day and a half ago and nothing happened.

are we making a groupme/social media group or anything?
