<p>Regarding Northwestern-
I just called the admission office and an admission officer said they sent out a complete set of acceptances last friday and they will only go to the waitlist again if a lot of people from friday decline.</p>
There have been some people on CC who have turned down Cornell for a school they got in off the waitlist.</p>
<p>Haha to the mistake on TheDartmouth’s article: Harvard, Princeton, and the University of PENNSYLVANIA got rid of early admissions programs.</p>
<p>It is somewhat of a Freudian slip. Those snobs at Dartmouth don’t see UVA as a peer school but U-Penn as one,
jk of course. I’m sure it was a pure accident.</p>
<p>Any idea if Penn is done with taking all its 90 students? I think it is. The people at the admission office are being so vague. Some are saying they will start on 16th( which I am sure is not true), others are alluding but not confirming that they are done and yet others are saying there are still some left. Its making me so confused.
I hope atleast one hundred out of Harvard’s 200 were previously going to Penn :p…wishful thinking I know.
Anyway, congratulations to every one who has already been taken off!</p>
<p>For those of u who have lost hope, well, you’ll be fine. I wasn’t waitlisted from Penn State Honors College. I was REJECTED. I sent in multiple updates and showd them how badly I wanted to go there. I got in and will be attending this fall.</p>
<p>No matter how grim the situation, if you show them your true passion, you will succeed.</p>
<p>i am on the waiting list for penn state main and i checked my application status online today. it said that they had reached a final decision and that i would get a letter w/in 2 weeks. should i assume this means no because it seems like a lot of you have been getting calls/emails or not?!</p>
<p>mcmatt: Has Gtown already contacted the wait list people that they are admitting for all of the schools or do you mean that they just sent out the letters? Thanks for the update!</p>
<p>It sounds like Brown is active - someone in the Brown forum called admissions and they said that originally 10 were going to be taken off of the waitlist, but not it looks like there’ll be even more because of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Penn.</p>
