<p>I think that in the ED round they started reviewing apps around Thanksgiving. Does anyone know when they start reviewing applications for the RD round? Also, are deferred ED applicants reviewed separately, or are they literally thrown randomly into the RD pool?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>not sure when they review, but i think after the regional director takes a look, they throw out the for sure rejects, accept the for sure admits. then, aroudn mid february, the borderline apps enter committee.</p>
<p>i'm scared. penn is where i wanna be, but i'm not a strong candidate, esp for wharton so as the trite saying goes, i'm preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. i so hope i get in! (and be able to afford it)</p>
