<p>just got off the waitlist at wharton :slight_smile: good luck guys!</p>

<p>congrats! still no email for me yet, but now Im gonna be paranoid and check it every five seconds :stuck_out_tongue: Its such a tease to see the email with someone else name on it lol. Well at least I didnt get a rejection email, so Im in the running! Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Thank you for the encouraging stories, AmbitiousMind07 and happycamper2010.
And congratulations to those of you who have been accepted!</p>

<p>I’m on a similar page with shultzie92.
I still have not received any messages and I, too, am trying to focus on getting ready to attend USP (have been making summer plans with them~), but my fingers are still crossed for UPenn and will continue to be!</p>

<p>At this time of the year, do students usually still to stay in touch with their regional director at Penn?</p>

<p>I talked my regional officer like 2 weeks ago, but I dont nag her or anything lol. But at least now we know that there is waitlist action for both CAS and Wharton! (sorry engineers :P)</p>

<p>does anyone know how long you have to decide whether or not to accept/decline the offer? I just got into MIT as well, so I need some time to weigh both options…</p>

<p>well you should obviously just decline the option :wink: lol jk it should probable say something on the acceptance page online. good luck with your choice, its a tough one, but its a pretty darn good problem to be facing lol</p>

<p>haha :P. found it though! exactly 1 week to decide my future? </p>

<p>good luck to everyone here too!</p>

<p>Congratulations, thebaker! ^^
I hope you will be very happy at the college of your choice. :)</p>

<p>@shultzie92: It seems very difficult for me to get in contact with my regional director because he’s always away. xD Sometimes I try to think: should I just sit patiently now and wait, or should I try to call one more time?</p>

<p>Basically, I want to ask things like how the waiting list looks now, and I still haven’t gotten the reply on whether or not they received my additional materials.</p>

<p>I feel like one side of me wants to frantically call them and get in touch (hehe… i feel like being “frantic” is not a good idea…), but the other side of me, just wants to chill like every other senior (well… those not on the waiting list, i think) and just wait (and be strong like one person said: “the waiting list is not for the weak-minded,” right?)</p>

<p><em>Takes a deep breath</em> ^^</p>

<p>Congratulations to those accepted!
I just want to hear from Penn soon, whether it’s good news or bad. I really hope there will be some activity in the SEAS waitlist as well.</p>

<p>jhua09: I just email mine when I have a question. If she’s away I get a generic message saying that she’ll answer my question when she gets back, but she always gets back to me. Im really happy with my regional officer, but I guess it varies from person to person. I don’t think it’d hurt to ask for an update on the waitlist, just don’t habitually call every day =P</p>

<p>As for additional materials, I sent a letter and Im considering making a copy of my report card when school gets out. (I’ve managed to fend off the senior slide!) lol</p>

<p>@ shultzie92: Yeah, I think I’ll just that. I’ll send him another email to get in touch with him.</p>

<p>That’s great! So that means you’ve been able to not let senioritis get to you, huh?
I have been feeling lazy lately, but without my facebook activated at the moment, I’ve been doing so-so with distractions.</p>

<p>Just recently, I read a really inspirational article on work ethic, so I’m going to try for the last few days of school left! ^^ Hehe~</p>

<p>When you say PSU, are you talking about Penn State University, shultzie92?</p>

<p>We’re all going to have to send our final transcript to Penn and to our second choice school in a few days or weeks, right?</p>

<p>yeah, right now im commited to Penn State, ever though Schreyer Honors College turned me down as a freshman (grr…) :stuck_out_tongue: not sure about transcripts</p>

<p>Yeah, some programs really surprise me.
There was a program that I applied to before that I thought I had the credentials to get in, but it turned out otherwise…
But on the bright side, it motivated me to seek more help for myself (because the program was a pre-college prep program), so I’m trying to work hard to be as prepared as possible on my own or with other resources I can seek out.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’ll have to check up on the final stuff, too.
I’ll try to get in touch with my school counselor next week.</p>

<p>I heard a few accounts about Wharton’s waiting list moving, but did CAS’s waiting list really move?
thebaker and Stupefy are the only accounts I’ve heard of and they both got into Wharton.</p>

<p><em>Fingers crossed as always! Hehe~</em></p>

<p>Can freshmen apply to PSU’s Honors College as sophomores?</p>

<p>Post #100 is from someone who got offf the waitlist into the college :slight_smile: I gotta the feeling that acceptances are gonna come in small spurts :/</p>

<p>@jhua09: Yes, there’s a gateway in which freshmen and sophomores can apply to Schreyer. :)</p>

<p>Congrats to those accepted!</p>

<p>Has UPenn sent out any rejection letters to waitlistees yet? Or if I haven’t received any news, should I assume I’ve been placed on the extended waitlist (i.e. I still have a chance of getting in during the second wave)?</p>
