This is facts.

164

maybe it’s different policies for different schools — through this thread i’ve only heard of engineering applicants receiving the continued interest update.

165

Are you saying not everyone on wait list get the WAIT LIST UPDATE email on May 11? Thanks

166

NOO everyone received that email

167

okay did i get this right that two emails were sent out: the wait list update email (11th) and the continued interest email (15th)? everyone got the first one and only a handful the second one?

168

Wait there’s a second email? Who got it?

169

this

BUT SHE SAID DIFFERENT SCHOOL! LMAO my heart dropped

171

My son the waitlist email back in april. Then another email to confirm his continued intrest maybe 10 days ago. I am.not sure about the exact dates.and i think that those who are getting the second are nwither wharton nor nursing.just law engineering and others. Do you have the same experience?

172

guys, who here is a full-pay and who applied for Financial aid?

173

I’m CAS but I only received the email sent out May 11th.

174

Does it make a difference?they said all ivies are need blind. Full pay.born american coming from an international school. I think it is a matter of luck now more than logic.no?

175

Don’t worry too much if you didn’t get the second email guys. In all honestly it could be their attempt at shrinking down the waitlist for programs they have less space in so that they have a smaller pool of students to select from that they are more certain will attend Penn, such as engineering. It’s also totally possible that they only sent this second email to people they are more highly considering, but you honestly never know so don’t get your hopes up.

i’m engineering and never received a second email time to move on ig😭

179

Nah you really never know. They could be sending it to a random sample to just lower the waitlist pool. It’s honestly just totally impossible to know without someone directly asking them, don’t give up yet!

I’m engineering too. I don’t think there’s a second email

I think the person saying there’s a second email is talking about a different school. all Penn waitlist students only received 1 email.
