upenn (2022-2023)

[covert shoal]

Like yale, if you get accepted u see the video with the bulldogs right away

Why is whitney soule so pretty tho

[native rivet]

even columbia

it shows a video of NYC

[oak edge]

cuz they got no campus💀

[native rivet]

[round ibex]

do u pay per credit (so more $ if u double maj or smth) or one semester has a set cost at upenn?

[covert shoal]

I’m guessing it’s a set cost ?

That’s what it seems like just by looking at the financial aid letter

[oblique jasper]

I am doing my interview rn

[blissful ridge]

how did it go?

[oblique jasper]

Well

The interviewer was very nice

He said he was proud of me for applying

He was hungry in the middle and ate a banana

[digital forum]

[digital forum]

But my Yale interview was weird af

[spark linden]

[spark linden]

:(( ull get in rd gl for uu

[cosmic dagger]

Ty 🙏 gl on penn and your other rd

[digital forum]

It was a senior interview. And it was 3 am for me lol. My interviewer was so uninterested and she just DID NOT want to be there. This honestly made me so anxious throughout the whole interview. And she just asked questions like a robot

[spark linden]

thxx :))

[spark linden]

bruh everyone talks abt how bad their yale interview is

[digital forum]

I applied to Cornell Engineering I don't remember if I applied for CS or EE

[spark linden]

did u get an interview bc i heard they dont give interviews for eng applicants

[digital forum]

By eng u mean the UK?

Cause I'm not from there

[spark linden]

ah engineering sorry

[digital forum]

Oh ok

[cosmic dagger]

Idt cornell interviews matter at all

Just for info

[digital forum]

No I didn't. But I don't count because i live in a country where we're not really allowed to have in person interviews and virtual ones with ppl inside my country are risky and I'm like 99% sure there aren't any Cornell grads living here

[spark linden]

ahhh okok

yea i mean im from kr but i study in uk so i didnt expect an interview anyway but was worried if its a bad sign

thx guys

[digital forum]

No I also think it doesn't matter that much

[cosmic dagger]

Ah thats why you applied ucl?

[spark linden]

ya i applied to four different countries xd

i got rejected from warwick yk and they accepted someone with a medicine ps

i hv no idea what their criteria is

[proud storm]

those look nice omg

[spark linden]

yaa ikrrr

[proud storm]

i went to look at the site and its all in kr i can't understand anything 💀 but it looks nice

[spark linden]

yaa u can translate if u wantt, they have a whole collection of upenn collabs

[misty quest]

Still no interview 😭

Even though I got one at each of HPSM

Whatever it can't be that important

[cosmic dagger]

Yup they are purely availability based so ur good

[proud storm]

i haven't gotten an interview anywhere so atp i'm just saying "it is what it is" and taking the L when i get rejected

[cosmic dagger]

I mean the vast majority of interviews are based on availability

And if you don't get one it's not a big deal

[clever palm]

I didn’t get one for Penn either

☹️

[cosmic dagger]

Shutcho harvard azz up smh

[clever palm]

I still want to get into my other schools…

[cosmic dagger]

Why

In what world would you go to penn over harvard

[clever palm]

I wouldn’t but still

It’s fun lowering yield rates

[proud storm]

genuine question, are there any schools you applied to that you would go to over harvard

[clever palm]

No

[proud storm]

then why would you apply

[clever palm]

There is a very slight chance I’d go yale if accepted though

[proud storm]

im just curious im not trying to be rude

[clever palm]

But certain things would need to happen for that to happen

[clever palm]

lowering yield rates

[proud storm]

doing your part 🫡

[clever palm]

🫡

[proud storm]

congrats on harvard tho that's insane

[clever palm]

ty and gl with your apps as well

[proud storm]

ty

[fleet ledge]

wharton

nursing, engineering

not when its upenn vs harvard

[oblique jasper]

UPenn pjs

I need one

[native rivet]

Agreee

But then again

Harvard > Wharton overall

For finance you can get just as good placements from Harvard

and it’s probably less cut throat of an environment than Wharton

[hardy onyx]

Wharton is chill no?

[native rivet]

LMFAOOOOOO

thats the funniest fking thing ive heard in my life

my guy it is fking competitive 💀

heard it from multiple current students

cut throat environmet

cuz everyone's competing for the same finance jobs

[spark linden]

yess🔥

[fathom quarry]

[cinder sleet]

3/3?

[shy prairie]

Where is this

[thin root]

on slate

[spark linden]

i wish they had one for internationals :/

[blissful ridge]

they do, if your school has a ceeb code

[spark linden]

nah our skl is too small for that sadly..

so dumb

[blissful ridge]

ah slate is stupid anyway

[spark linden]

at least u guys get a grasp

i have that anxiousness that every uni will reject me lmfao

i dream of myself taking gap year gg

[blissful ridge]

many of my schools are not listed on slate

[normal sky]

Mine says 2/28

[blissful ridge]

how can u even tell you've been rejected/accepted thru slate

it's impossible to say atp

[spark linden]

nah i meant like at least u guys get a grasp of where u guys r at

didnt mean like u guys will know if ur accepted/rejected

[urban charm]

Its not accurate tho

[spark linden]

yea i mean like

[normal sky]

What does updated even mean lmao

[spark linden]

ya thats not what i meant but

ya anyway

we will find out in a few weeks yea

[normal sky]

The colleges I have a better shot at say 3/6 updated

👍

[blissful ridge]

it says 4 of my colleges are still in progress lol

when I've obviously completed and submitted their apps

it's inaccurate

[normal sky]

It’s not inaccurate

[blissful ridge]

how come

[normal sky]

Colleges just don’t want u looking at stuff like this

[blissful ridge]

how are my vandy bowdoin pomona and penn apps still in progress

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-have-the-foggiest-clue-whats-going-on-here-franklin-finbar-mouse-kevin-hart-jumanji-the-next-level-gif-16164687

[fathom quarry]

so nervous looking forward to ivy day fr

[solar sail]

wish it was sooner

[digital forum]

Hey so when I try to access my fin aid checklist it redirects me to this PDFdocup website? Anyone else experiencing the same issue? What do I do

[agile rose]

Yeah there’s some issue w the link rn

It was working earlier
EDIT- working now

[timid creek]

is pfas required to apply for financial aid?

[quiet crow]

Did you all got this email?

[agile rose]

yes they said its being sent to all FA applicants

[quiet crow]

Oh

Okay

thanks

[faint basin]

yes

[fathom quarry]

does anyone start feeling higher levels of anxiety

[unique galleon]

the moment march 1st hit my anxiety went way up

[fathom quarry]

gotta hang on tight fr

[unique galleon]

3 weeks and 1 day out

[fathom quarry]

shit hahaha you just made my anxiety more calculated

[unique galleon]

for now im gonna focus on other college decisions and come back once ive survived the rest

[fathom quarry]

other college decisions?

lmao

all decisions give the same level of anxiety

😦

[unique galleon]

i mean yeah but at least other decisions are closer

[oak edge]

bro im opening all 11 of my remaining decisions together on april 1

high anxiety levels throughout march

and i did this to myself as well😄

[stable rivet]

so wait, can you now show up to my decision reactions – since you are opening urs later and don't have to see urs when mine come around?

🤨

damn boi u gonna be anxious af tho

I can't imagine waiting to open them together lmfao

[oak edge]

i most prolly will be, depending on how late it is

if u plan to open it immediately at 4 in the night and not at 9 in the morning then i prolly wont join lol

[oak edge]

yepp, very

but rn im not somehow

[stable rivet]

Hop in for the Caltech one and UC davis one then

UC Davis im doing in the morning

caltech is at 10pm

[oak edge]

i have unc in the bag, much less stressed

[stable rivet]

rest are early morning for our time zone tho

[stable rivet]

I don't

[oak edge]

this is better

[stable rivet]

💀

[oak edge]

i wake up at 12

so

[stable rivet]

should have chosen more safeties lol

[oak edge]

10 will be manageable

[stable rivet]

bro the fuck

[oak edge]

yeah true but i never thought im ivy level

so didnt even bother lol

[stable rivet]

I typed something else

💀

I meant I should have choosen more safeties

[oak edge]

yeah true

u should have lol

but lets see how it goes

[stable rivet]

I was like meh CUHK and Utah are cool as safeties

and HKU and HKUST is confirmed - just their conditions are not

but CUHK somehow got the highest QS ranking this year and boy are they abusing it, I still dont have an offer and this year maybe their conditions will be high too

so I only have one safety utah and 2 conditions but not sure if I will meet them

[oak edge]

u should always take the common safeties

like rutgers

penn state

etc etc

gsu as well, transfer for GT super strong

[stable rivet]

see

I see CUHK and all HK universities as much superior

heck they are even better than purdue for me if location didn't matter

however, I made the mistake of thinking CUHK is a safety now

they are really abusing the fact they jumped ranks from bottom of HK universities to the top in one year

[oak edge]

hmm

regardless

good luck

[stable rivet]

you too

[oak edge]

cuz lot of unis coming out

[stable rivet]

fr

[pale osprey]

does anyone know how to look at the checklist or soemtbing i can’t go past this page

[cold trench]

[odd basalt]

[timid creek]

[pastel cloak]

Idts

[oak edge]

i've never heard of UPenn likelies

gotta search for it in cc ig

[untold sun]

@rapid olive

[rapid olive]

[untold sun]

NOOOOO

https://tenor.com/view/will-you-change-your-ways-or-will-you-weep-for-forgiveness-to-an-audience-of-deaf-ears-scone-gif-24806421

[full hull]

Yeah never heard of em

[untold sun]

they send them

its on the website

https://www.alumni.upenn.edu/s/1587/gid2/16/interior.aspx?sid=1587&gid=2&pgid=1242#:~:text=What is a Likely letter,in the Regular Decision cycle.

last updated in 2013 so it may be outdated lmfao

[slate karma]

i hope I get in

anyone know what defer to accept is

[odd basalt]

im sure its a bit higher than the regular acceptance rate considering they defer a very small number

[lofty sphinx]

its around 10%

not bad

if u got good grades 1st semester and submitted a good loci u should have a good chance

[slate karma]

rip my chances 💀

[fleet ledge]

Better than our chances

[lofty sphinx]

its better than 3% like it is for rd

[thin root]

don’t average it out

the biggest misleading fact about admissions is the rate of acceptance

the idea of an admission rate implies that people are randomly chosen

[lofty sphinx]

yeah acceptance rates != chance of admission

[thin root]

you have a chance of getting in that is exclusive to you and who you are

exactly

the reason penn deferrals might get in more over RD applicants has no direct causation

it is very likely that penn’s RD round will receive a lot of applicants who do not pass the initial review stage (obviously not what penn does in their process but a figure of speech to represent that there are some not so competitive applicants RD) that you will not have ED

RD will always have more of the autorejected applicants

[lofty sphinx]

doesnt penn take demonstrated interest into account

wouldnt applying ed be seen as demonstrated interest

hence you would have some sort of a boost?

[agile rose]

this is partially true, but you could do everything "right" at your end and still get rejected. there is a luck factor involved which is somewhat captured by the extremely low admit rate. there are a couple of auto-rejects but beyond that it just comes down to what AOs want the entire class to look like

[thin root]

i do not believe in the luck factor. i think people’s idea of what makes the best applicant is subjective and the only person whose opinions of the best applicant are are the AOs

[thin root]

but yeah there’s no direct causation

[thin root]

in ED potentially

the main boost i would argue comes from the fact that you’re bidjgin yourself to the school

btw penn does not account for DI

they consider interest, as most ivys do, but not demonstrated interest

[agile rose]

yeah but AOs say it all the time...that the same profile could get rejected one year and accepted in another class (and vice versa)

[thin root]

this means how fluent you are with the school, how much you show to match with it etc is helpful

[thin root]

i genuinely believe that’s bs

i feel as though

it’s subjective and that’s why

potentially it can be read differently in diff times

but i don’t think it’s as clear cut as an entirely random process

[agile rose]

i remember one AO gave the example of having a smaller number of seats for athletes this year. plus u never know how many people are gonna be accepted from each region (ik there's no quota but almost certainly some sort of a cap)

[brazen wren]

Are everyone’s financial aid docs status showing ‘submitted’? Mine hasn’t changed to received or processed.

[tired forge]

same

[thin root]

very true

i recount what i say

[bitter carbon]

these are so cute

[bitter carbon]

my bestie got in without an interview!!

[bitter carbon]

they definitely take demonstrated interest into account

one of the 3 big admissions factor is "fit for penn"

there really is no one fit for penn

but it's how you engaged with it before applying and how you speak about it in your essays and interview

(i got a perfect score on that category sorry not sorry for the flex but my other categories were trash)

[proud storm]

so i guess i know what my decision will be for penn

[tidal crag]

were u accepted ed or rd?

[bitter carbon]

rd

[bitter carbon]

literally no point in speculating penn is one of those places where everyone is lowkey dumb but highkey lit

it's hard to describe

[tidal crag]

my essays were either really good or really bad

i wrote about something i probably shouldnt have though

):

[bitter carbon]

it'll all work out in the end

[tidal crag]

haha i hope so

(penn pls accept me)

[warped spear]

Real

One of my essays may have been a bit too personal; I talked about a friend that passed away that had helped me start a garden

Cried a lot during and after writing that lol but eh

Might’ve not been the best choice

[pulsar hazel]

As long as you didn’t focus on the friend too much I think it could def be a good essay

[low yacht]

saur true

[low yacht]

its ok if ur essay isnt totally perfect

my writing seminar prof told us half of us in the room likely didnt get in because we had good essays 💀

but because we had ok essays

[native rivet]

upennis

where is my likely

why hasn't it reached my email yet

[dusty carbon]

damn i told my interviewer i only went on a virtual tour 😔

[steep geyser]

hello my #6

[willow fog]

have penn likely letters come out?

[untold sun]

they have until tmrw to send if not

[warped spear]

I appreciate that ❤️‼️

I tried making mine more casual and personal, but that was one of the more serious ones. I did apply to ivies for fun, but still attempted to make it good, so we’ll see!

[spark linden]

ikrrrr

[spring halo]

Ong

[thin root]

guys what’s wrong with gmail, i haven’t received my likely yet

no its easier to read

[potent mason]

[willow fog]

penn you want me so bad 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[oblique jasper]

did they send out likely letters?

[proven adder]

haven't seen anything from anyone, anywhere

[oblique jasper]

😦

[proven adder]

yeahhh

[tardy sedge]

i don’t think they do but idk

[candid ore]

I think they do but it’s for the athletes

[odd basalt]

penn i love you sm

[glass falcon]

An admissions officer has just seen this, they will be in contact with you shortly to ensure admission

[odd basalt]

HECK YEAH

[oblique jasper]

@small raven

[small raven]

oh bet

[oblique jasper]

👍

[glass falcon]

why of course ONE might be lead to believe such a thing, but according to the 2.1 dash 4 clause of upenn's ancient regulations, it is authorized in the case of extreme glazing "i love you sm" would fall under this criteria

[lime reef]

I did ED and got rejected 😭

[silent basalt]

What percent does Penn defer/reject ED

I got deferred ED wharton but im tryna get in RD

[barren torrent]

nobody knows the deferral rate. i got deferred as well but hopefully penn comes in clutch on the 30th

[lofty sphinx]

its usually 15-20%

[finite pond]

Ayo how competive is ascs

[solar sail]

probably very considering its the University of Pennsylvania

[finite pond]

Ye prolly

[proven adder]

Pretty surprised nobody got a likely letter. Guess UPenn doesn't do that.

[mint fossil]

me too, surprising but ig gotta deal with it

[formal trellis]

if i get into penn i stop using pencils please penn 🙏

[tidal crag]

they do for atheletes

[pliant valve]

how selective are the specific programs like VIPER

[lime reef]

Very selective

[oak edge]

how selective is CS 🤓🤓

[solar sail]

considering it’s an ivy league university…probably very

[oak edge]

yeah i know i was just joking

also

mf

36A?

[solar sail]

yes

[full hull]

Anyone apply biochem at penn

[mint fossil]

Nah finance and management

[fathom quarry]

i really really really really wanna go to penn

[mint fossil]

ye me too

Philly looks nice af to live in for college

[full hull]

penn would be sick

[mint fossil]

fs

[fathom quarry]

i love philly

bcs of abbott elementary

[ivory gulch]

I hate Philly

It’s mad sketch and dirty

[mint fossil]

I’m sure some parts are sketch

But downtown is probably chillin

[oak edge]

how did u even go about applying to that many?

[cinder sleet]

Unlimited apps for the coalition app right

Whatever it's called noe

[oak edge]

i see

still

a lot

how do u get the time

[solar sail]

u can reuse a lot

[solar sail]

i applied to schools whenever i was bored

[solar sail]

yess

[oak edge]

😭😭😭😭😭😭

fair enough

[tiny helm]

I wrote my penn app 2 hours before deadline

[mint fossil]

Same

I started around 3 hrs before or smth

CMU i started the hour before lol

[tiny helm]

I did brown before penn I think

[tidal crag]

i was doing my community essay a few hours before the deadline

and the website for all of the penn clubs crashed

because there was too many people

😭

[vagrant scaffold]

I did it two days before and it was better than the Yale app I spent weeks on

[tiny helm]

My Stanford app was the best personally

[lethal nova]

bruh this is too funny 💀💀

[solar sail]

my thank u letter better carry

it was so goooood

[proven adder]

half of my 200 words for that prompt weren't even a part of the letter, it was a part of the experience :\

[tiny helm]

can someone pls do portal astrology or smth i wanna hear drama

[vagrant scaffold]

mine too and I hated that prompt. It was like two weeks after writing one of my senior year teachers a thank you card for Christmas that it hit me that I could use it to apply to Penn

love that man ❤️ it felt so dirty to use him for a college app though which is why I hate the prompt

I’m glad I organically thanked him first

[proven adder]

I just looked at my UPenn responses for the first time... and I realized one of my responses was 202 words (limit was 200) 💀

Hopefully they don't do a hard cut-off on the word count.

[solar sail]

i wrote mine to the Beastie Boys

because they helped break the ice about Jewish singers in the US as the first major Jewish boy band group and their contributions to anti semitism

[wraith agate]

No no no

[azure thicket]

I remember CMU being super annoying

I don't remember why

i guess fanboying after CMU my entire junior year led me to know way too much about it

[bronze yoke]

rd?

[pliant valve]

ye

[surreal rock]

According to chatGPT my essays are a perfect fit for UPenn 💀

And I highly doubt I will get in

[pliant valve]

bro i had a 2 hour UPenn interview

[surreal rock]

Lol I didn’t get one

[pliant valve]

where the interviewer was seriously impressed

because im applying for the VIPER Program and my ECs literally align with the program

[surreal rock]

Then you should have a good shot

[pliant valve]

plus i could explain the entire context of my academic history

like i couldnt speak for 30 minutes after that interview cause i had rattled on so much

[surreal rock]

Lol

Well good luck!

[tiny helm]

my penn interview was pretty good

I thought it was one of my best because she was also med, upenn undergrad washu med school

[fleet ledge]

I hope you realise how competitive viper is. Just don’t expect much

[pliant valve]

yeah ik

my top EC is me having made my own fuel cell for cheap rural electrification from Cowdung, Benthic Mud and Sugarcane which has 10-15 intl and nat awards and medals for team india

whats the acceptance rate of VIPER?

[long haven]

If you’re international it’s near impossible to get in. They have barely any international spots.

[pliant valve]

right where did you get your info on the selectivity? is it given anywhere?

i cant seem to find any information on selectivity

any people here accepted ED to VIPER by any chance?

[snow stone]

Lmao same for me I spent like 3 days on it cause I decided last minute to ED 💀

Any of the dual degrees are pretty competitive

[pliant valve]

how competitive is SEAS?

[digital forum]

My Penn interview was my best (out of 2 lol) even though my interviewer wasn't in the same field as I want to be

Their alumni network is the best

[tiny helm]

I agree

Such likeable alumni

[vagrant scaffold]

UPenn students scare me

At least the ones I see on YouTube

They’re all attractive and confident and ambitious it tires me out just watching them talk

[tiny helm]

No wonder penn is known to have the most attractive student body 💀

[bitter violet]

dont lie to urself MIT has the most attractive student body

especially the cs department

[pliant valve]

if attractiveness is measured in terms of unutilised testosterone then yes

[mint fossil]

aint that like the whole school

[bitter violet]

whole school too attractive fr

[glass minnow]

def

[sterile badger]

…

[rugged mango]

whomst did y'all thank in your thank you notes

[odd basalt]

my drawing teacher

[rugged mango]

i think i fucked up by thanking my grandpa

[cinder sleet]

My volunteer coordinator!

I love her :>

[rugged mango]

slay

i heard u were supposed to thank someone u hadn't thanked alrdy

[cinder sleet]

Yeah

[rugged mango]

don't know if a grandparent would slide

[jaunty horizon]

the creator of my fav. childhood tv show

[rugged mango]

interesting

i also heard u should only thank someone u know irl 😭

[jaunty horizon]

OOPs

[rugged mango]

this was a new prompt so eh

[jaunty horizon]

well tbf the show helped me get through some dark spots in my life so it felt right

take it or leave it, penn

[rugged mango]

i don't think they'd reject anyone bc of who they choose to thank

[odd basalt]

i wish my thank you note could feel a little less stiff

[rugged mango]

here's mine

got my ahh blasted in the Stanford thread

im ready

i didn't sign it off...

[jaunty horizon]

yours is a lot more "flowery"; nothing wrong, i just wrote mine super simply idrk

[rugged mango]

had no words to spare

[rugged mango]

yeah I've heard that a lot 😭

[odd basalt]

you write really similar to me lol

[rugged mango]

it's aight I'm done for at Penn

slay 💅

vandy has to accept me

right?

right?

[odd basalt]

HAHAHAH FS FS MANIFEST

that was such a fluke lmao

idk what they saw in me

[rugged mango]

vandy is an L i didn't apply for the merit scholarships

as an intl seeking a full ride

hahah

[rugged mango]

u deserve it!!

impostor syndrome begone!

[odd basalt]

i just hope that other schools are like vandy and accept me (esp yale and penn lmao)

[rugged mango]

amen

[jaunty horizon]

sameee. missed the deadline, too

[tidal crag]

what.

i did my dad

fuck

[tidal crag]

er

[tiny helm]

Mine was terrible, but I did thank someone I never thanked before

I should’ve been more creative

[tidal crag]

wait who said that though

it had to be someone you havent thanked nvm

[jaunty horizon]

prob not. i thanked the creator of my fav. childhood tv show and that was prob a bad move

welp

[tiny helm]

If the reasoning is good it’s good

I thanked my Chem professor/lab mentor

[jaunty horizon]

yeah i talked about how it helped me assimilate when i immigrated to the united states

we'll see on the 30th

[tiny helm]

That’s decent

[jaunty horizon]

i was actually super confident until someone said it had to be a person yknow irl

[tidal crag]

it doesnt have to be

[long haven]

Nah that’s a really interesting topic

[glass minnow]

my thank u note was to my mom

dont think its about how "basic" the person u write it to is

content is what matters

[jaunty horizon]

i was gonna do my mom too, but then they were like someone you haven't thanked yet

urghhahsaks

i'm most likely overthinking tho

[shy prairie]

what does your guys' slate say for upenn?

[glass minnow]

its open ended no reason to overthink it LOL

[glass minnow]

in progress

[shy prairie]

same

[glass minnow]

everyones is in progress

dw

[shy prairie]

oh alright

also do cornell and princeton not use slate

[tidal crag]

i mean

they dont know that you thanked them or not

so

idk

like i wrote stuff in my letter that i havent thanked my dad for

my penn friend told me its mostly about expressing humility and gratefulness rather than the actual person

[jaunty horizon]

yeah i watched dean soule's vid about why they chose the prompt like 2 weeks after i applied

issok my other penn supps and common app are good - they will hopefully carry

[past plinth]

typing here to get a thread opened.

[tiny helm]

I mean I guess it’s fine, someone acted as that character

[oblique jasper]

omg i loved the upenn essays

[pliant valve]

man my VIPER essay was amazing i feel

like it just hit the correct mix of things I wanted to convey

also would someone rate my VIPER essay? just bored till decisions arrive

[oblique jasper]

what’s viper?

[pliant valve]

its a special dual degree program at penn

in energy research

[oblique jasper]

oh wow

id be down if you want

[pliant valve]

cool ill pm

hey @oblique jasper I have pmmed you my essay

[fleet ledge]

Let’s assume it’s selectivity is comparable to huntsman and m&t so probably like 2-3% and since you are international like half that so 1-1.5%

Gl tho

[pliant valve]

hmm i see

but wouldnt the no. of applicants for VIPER be lesser considering its a niche program and not some popular major like cs?

[long haven]

Nah all dual degrees are really competitive

[proud storm]

my grandpa

[pliant valve]

same

[quiet dragon]

i did my physics/calculus teacher lol

[astral galleon]

i just thanked my brother lol

[plush geyser]

i thanked this guy who presented about his work at a debate competition, i got to use analysis he talked about and won the competition, then i interned for his company years later after finding his calling card

[vagrant scaffold]

Calc teacher

[bitter carbon]

WAIT WHOS UPENN REACTION VID DID U SEE

my best friend at penn recently postled a reaction vid and she got into penn obviously

[vagrant scaffold]

nothing that recent + they were penn students not admits

[bitter carbon]

ya she’s a current student

[vagrant scaffold]

if she's Black I might have seen hers

[lofty sphinx]

no one from my school has gotten into penn for 8 years

hope i get in

[astral galleon]

you will be the one to break that streak, trust

[tidal crag]

i find it interesting how vast the disparities are sometimes

people have like 20+ yearly from their schools and others are the first ever

[lofty sphinx]

its the story of public high schools vs private high schools

[tidal crag]

i mean ive seen publics with crazy numbers too

but yeah mostly thats the case

private feeders are insnae

[sterile badger]

Yes the nyc specialized schools are no joke tbh

[tidal crag]

fr

[tiny helm]

this popped up on my recommended just now

https://youtu.be/ntPFemdR_9Q

[bitter carbon]

not her

[tiny helm]

oh

[barren torrent]

i saw this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJHV8CyL904

after getting deferred it hit different

[tidal crag]

i hate the college result videos on youtube

theyre all like

unrealistic

show me one where its all rejections

😭

[barren torrent]

agreed 100%

its just the most cracked kids

[tidal crag]

fr

[jaunty horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zpOyeKNZws

this one was p sad to watch ngl. but gotta commend her for having the courage to put it up

[tidal crag]

oof

looked like a strong applicant

spoiler ||georgia tech in the end isnt too bad though||

doesnt help my confidence still 😭

[jaunty horizon]

college admissions is crazy fr

[steep geyser]

dw, i'll reach there by april

[pallid estuary]

fr georgia tech cs is better than most of the colleges on that list

oh wait she applied bme

gt is literally #2 for bme 💀

[fleet ledge]

i mean gtech is like top15 for cs so not much of a difference lol

[lofty sphinx]

gtech is top 5 cs i think

[shut rain]

nah t 10

if you remove ties

[sterile badger]

Tbh I’d choose Yale cs over GT cs in a heartbeat

[lofty sphinx]

it really depends on the applicants preferences

if ur into prestige then you will choose yale

if ur into a top tier cs education at a relatively low cost and a plethora of internship opportunities then gt is best

[thin root]

prestige wise yale above yeah

[fathom quarry]

What do you guys think the rankings for top econ/fin school for undergrads from 1-10?

Is penn included in the rankings?

[tidal crag]

???

[misty quest]

You serious? Wharton is #1 school for finance and has a t10 econ program

[fathom quarry]

My peers kept on telling me penn aint in the t10 for econ /fin

[steep geyser]

change peers

[fleet ledge]

wharton is wharton

u dont need validation 😭

[fathom quarry]

They even say haas > dyson > wharton

Dafuq

[fleet ledge]

weirdos

[fathom quarry]

Dyt haas > dyson or dyson > haas

I still accept haas > dyson but dyson > wharton puts me on another level of confusion

[fleet ledge]

dyson > haas

imo

[fathom quarry]

Is haas overrated

[thin root]

nah

haas > dyson

by far

haas is definitely better than dyson by far

haas is arguably the best b school on the west coast and the only school that arguably is better is sgs

[fleet ledge]

east coast banking pipeline + location is better

[thin root]

sgsb

[thin root]

debatable west coast LA is p good

[fathom quarry]

Oh we talking abt ugrad here

[thin root]

OH

[fathom quarry]

Grad unincluded

[thin root]

nvm 💀

i’d stil say better

my friend who went through haas placed in PE easily and said all her classmates had internships + positions lined up

it’s very well placing and location is not a bad thing

just because it’s west coast doesn’t matter surprisingly

[fathom quarry]

I heard ppl fight for internships at cornell

Dk if its true

Not literally fighting but yea

[thin root]

yeah u will always be in competition

and both plage well

but i’d argue the prestige is slightly better at haas

either way idk abt undergrad business

[fleet ledge]

you need to apply for haas during sophomore year unless you get into met

[tiny helm]

i like the acceptances tho, it gives me a dopamine hit when i get to celebrate with them and it also gives me hope lol

[misty quest]

For undergrad, Dyson is definitely better. East coast and also you don't have to apply into the school after your sophomore year

[misty quest]

SGSB is better than Haas and it isn't close. SGSB can make a case for being the #1 MBA.

[fathom quarry]

Cant argue with this

[fathom quarry]

This is interesting

[misty quest]

Keep in mind, most students don't have the privilege of choosing between those two... they're lucky to even get one of them

Also, if you're in state though, Haas is definitely better than Cornell if you don't get finaid

And Haas is probably better if you want to work on the west coast. But for Wall St, go with Dyson

[fathom quarry]

Im intl

[thin root]

yeah i personally agree

but idk i thin jk haas beats dyson out

[misty quest]

Graduate sure

Undergrad I don't think so

Mostly because of geography and the ivy league label

[thin root]

lol

[wintry arrow]

i’m pretty sure in terms of finance placement it’s penn>dyson>haas

in fact i don’t think dyson is that amazing at finance recruiting for undergrad

compared to penn

[mint fossil]

Penn is nuts overall for underg business

[thin root]

penn solos everything for everything

business wise penn will always outplace everywhere

undergraduate and postgraduate are same

[shut rain]

guys umm penn sent my counselor a request for updated grades

did anyone else get ?

is it a good sign ?

[shut rain]

i had submitted mid-year grades

[urban charm]

[shut rain]

[mint fossil]

[thin root]

can someone chance me for penn!!! pm me!!!

[mint fossil]

no problem

100%

oh wow!

youre the first one

[thin root]

yay!!!

should i mak e ahcance me

on reddit

and post it

[mint fossil]

no

those are corny

and completely dont work

just wait tha 10 days trust

[thin root]

im so scared

[sterile badger]

Nobody on chance me knows what they’re talking about lmao

[manic bear]

To be fair I asked them to chance me when I applied ED here and they said deferred and I ended up deferred lol

[proven adder]

We have fewer than 250 hours of waiting, that's not a lot if you think about it.

I made a chance me and I kinda regret it. Got some optimistic comments but I don't want to hear kids say random stuff.

[thin root]

i do

i need validation from kids to supplement the lack of validation my penn rejectio nwill give me

[manic bear]

Back in the penn ed channel there were loads of kids with exceptional stats, much better than my own who were outright rejected

So that gives me hope

[proven adder]

I mean feel free to DM me, I'll probably give you very pessimistic comments just to be a realist

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[proven adder]

My stats weren't very good either lol, so I'm in the same boat 🙏

[sterile badger]

I kinda wanted to make one of those fake chance mes just to see what they’ll say but I’ve grown since then

That MIT guy is still funny cause people were saying no shot💀but I guess it is fair to say that for every avg person that gets in theres a ton that don’t

[proven adder]

At this point, I've chosen to be grateful with the colleges I've already been accepted into, and any of my reach schools would be fantastic but not something I feel I need to get into to reach success

[manic bear]

I only applied to 1 safety (osu), 1 target (umd) and the rest reaches

8 in total, and i would love to go to umd

[fathom quarry]

So anxious

Penn is my #1 choice

Pls pls pls

Lmao

Actually if i got in it would be very odd bcs i applied to a major that is waay unrelated with my background

[fleet ledge]

u cant just say pls pls pls then say that 🤣

[fathom quarry]

Ik 🤣

Just keeping both my realistic and idealistic alter egos on the ground

[fleet ledge]

[fathom quarry]

Northwestern is approaching

Umich confirmed at 25th?

[fleet ledge]

[thin root]

ur at penn we all look like peasants compared to you 💀

[tidal crag]

life is more than the school you go to

u gotta relax

[thin root]

i mean he was talking abt good b schools as someone who goes to penn

[gloomy galleon]

i saw people on here using it and gave it a shot

[gloomy galleon]

[finite pond]

I feel like thats a decent representation how I feel about a dangerously large amount of colleges

[native rivet]

where is this

[mint fossil]

Penn 🤞🙏🙏😍😍

[proud storm]

oh penn i love you 😻

[oak edge]

we all do

unconditionally

🙏🙏

[sterile badger]

Does being instate give you a boost? I read an admissions file today that said they marked that she was from Philly which I found to be interesting. Does that work for the other ivies too? Like Columbia/Cornell like NY students?

[shell nacelle]

yes, an unofficial boost

[urban charm]

Not at other ivies

Well cornell depending on major but thats it

[cosmic echo]

what majors for Cornell?

[tidal crag]

it’s not majors

it’s by school

if you apply to an NY endowed school as an NY resident you get a boost

[urban charm]

^^

I meant like the majors that are in those schools

[mint fossil]

Penn my beloved

give me a W

[cosmic echo]

is Dyson one ?

[tidal crag]

I believ so

[low yacht]

Please no speculation

[proven adder]

That is something that you submit from your end -- it does not have anything to do with financial aid, it's just showing your paystubs.

(as proof that you made what you made)

[glass minnow]

remove registration from another day

[north parrot]

Same…

[glass minnow]

but dont speculate on this lol

[orchid kindle]

Omg upenn

[north parrot]

Got “access denied” for another two schools💀

[orchid kindle]

How expensive is it

For oos

[glass minnow]

portal astrology is not it

[cosmic echo]

i dont think this is accurate tho

like at all

[orchid kindle]

I’m not getting it but who knows

[north parrot]

Apparently there’s too much portal astrology stuff on CC that I decided to try some💀

[cosmic echo]

so it's good to not get it ?

for Berkley it just says "Access denied"

lol

[glass minnow]

guys jusr chill out

[north parrot]

Yeah same for me and lots of people on the Berkeley cc

[glass minnow]

ur decision willvhe out soon

[tidal crag]

why chill when I can stress myself out more though?

[glass minnow]

never do that

[tidal crag]

[glad oar]

if you love penn, just like this to get accepted
