UPenn Waitlist 2026 thread

Yep. Idk about a LoR though. If you think it’ll move the needle, sure. But otherwise it might just look like a “thick file” to them if you send a lot

Congratulations :champagne::balloon:

Anyone else hear anything?

You people sending anything else? Like, another update, lor, or anything?

At this point unless it’s like a super major award or something left off I don’t think additional info would really move the needle. Just a waiting game

Any possibility of tomorrow Friday be the second round of notice?

there’s a chance, but according to past trends, I think next week would be more likely to happen

International applicant here. Does the e-mail “Wait list update” that some of us received last week mean a rejection? I don’t really understand.

Wasn’t in the first wave but they anticipate there to be more to come. That’s all.

I got that email, too. Quote: “Now that May 2 has passed and we are gaining a clearer picture of enrollment for the Class of 2026, we wanted to provide an update on the wait list. This week, we sent out our initial wave of admissions offers to wait listed candidates. While we are unable to offer you a place in the class at this time, we do expect further movement on the wait list in the coming weeks with the goal of completing the class by June.”
Could anyone interpret how many students has Penn admitted in this “initial wave?”
