upenn (2022-2023)

[azure thicket]

Where's the sign up?

[obsidian vigil]

feeling like it rly doesn’t matter

our portal isn’t going to act as if we’re admitted if we aren’t yet

[north parrot]

Not me trying it on northwestern and it shows something different again💀

[obsidian vigil]

the portal doesn’t hold secrets we don’t know 💀💀💀 decisions just haven’t come out

[north parrot]

We should stay away from astrology tbh

[azure thicket]

It means nothing

[obsidian vigil]

we’re all gonna get the same message bc we’re all in the same state

like

of not being admitted or rejected yet

[formal trellis]

im pretty sure itll say that for everyone 🤨

[azure thicket]

I suggest staying away from college confidential

That place is is peak a2c on a good day

[mint fossil]

shows the same thing forme

[finite pond]

ima go out on a limb here and say unless everyone in this channel got in, this ain't it

Damn i'm so smart, Penn should like accept me or smthing fr

[lethal nova]

schrodinger's app

[obsidian vigil]

literally

[mint fossil]

yo

mine actually lets me submit the form

to sign up for the tour

[mint fossil]

[finite pond]

[next ivy]

oh

giving me hope 🙏

the copium im on is crazy

[upbeat mantle]

How did u get that ?

[mint fossil]

U go to the link pasted above but I doubt it means anything

[cosmic echo]

doesn’t mean anything guys

no need to stress

[mint fossil]

ye

altho

I did it for northwestern

And it lets me submit a form

so idk

Ab that sxhool

[willow fog]

i don’t have this

[mint fossil]

it’s not in ur portal u gotta go to a separate link to get to the page

I wouldn’t trip ab it as it doesn’t mean nothing

[willow fog]

alr thank you 😭

[mint fossil]

Np

[tiny helm]

i didnt realize that you could submit a research abstract to penn, can i still submit one?

btw i did add a link to a published abstract on google in my additional info, so they mightve seen that

[silent rain]

bro decisions come out next week

[tiny helm]

i know lol idek why i asked this question

[sterile badger]

Wait what😭😭since when

[tiny helm]

i didnt even know either but its in the bottom of their supp material page

https://admissions.upenn.edu/admissions-and-financial-aid/what-penn-looks-for/supplementary-materials

but it says you dont have to

and they subtly say they dont care

[sterile badger]

But I rly like my abstract. If I get rejected next week ughhh

[tiny helm]

yeah me too, but i put my abstract link in my additional info soo hopefully they notice it lol

[sterile badger]

Do you guys think it’s to late to send in tho😭😭omg I’m so crushed by this I should have checked

[agile rose]

Yes but

It can't hurt. If you're just updating the portfolio

[tiny helm]

i just wouldnt do it lol

[tiny helm]

waste of time

[sterile badger]

I’m so stupid for not checking😭

[tiny helm]

same lol i just read the top part where it said they prefer not to see a portfolio

[sterile badger]

I think that abstract prob the strongest part of my app😭😭😭

[tiny helm]

what was ur abstract over lol

[tiny helm]

mine too hahaha

[sterile badger]

Only thing I can see Columbia having liked 😭I’m never forgiving myself

Wtvr I would have chose Columbia over Penn anyways

[tiny helm]

i just realized i put two abstracts for columbia

wait you got a likely?

[sterile badger]

Yea

[tiny helm]

massive w

the date

lol

in the dropdown it says 2223

theres no /

[sterile badger]

Still haven’t done that lol

[tiny helm]

penn sent me a 2021 financial aid supplement

with a due date 3 weeks before they sent it to me

[sterile badger]

Yea I don’t think financial aid deadlines mean much

[wary crest]

damn, 21 reactions but only a handful of people talking in this chat. It’s crazy how big the difference of people lurking and talking is

[maiden grove]

Yo

[maiden grove]

Must be nice being domestic yea?

[untold sun]

https://tenor.com/view/paaliin-haybale-wrapping-automatic-automated-gif-17705765

[sterile badger]

I’m still not over how you can submit research abstracts to Penn. Gonna do die now

[tiny helm]

dont worry too much abt it lol

is your abstract published?

[sterile badger]

Yea I feel like they’re gonna think less of it now cause I didn’t submit it

[tiny helm]

did you link the doi of your abstract in your additional info?

[sterile badger]

Nope I thought I should only do that if they have space for it like Yale, Columbia, and MIT

[tiny helm]

awww

[willow fog]

i have unpublished research i didn’t submit

it isn’t on my app at all tho lmao

[tiny helm]

is it purely lit review or actual lab research

because if it is stem related, then they do like lab research

[sterile badger]

It’s like my good ec😭and yea stem lab research

Maybe they’ll believe the 150 character description on the activities list😍

[tiny helm]

maybe they might think ur other ecs were too good that you couldnt fit the research

[sterile badger]

Arent JHU and Penn same ranked😭maybe I still got a shot

[tiny helm]

did you get in jhu?

[sterile badger]

Yea

[oblique jasper]

i had this thought too 😭😭😭 but rankings have to be taken with several shakers of salt tbh

[mint fossil]

And u already got a likely to Columbia right

u should have a good shot

[sterile badger]

Yea at the T20s things get to random to count on anything. But here’s hoping Penn goes well

[mint fossil]

U like Penn more than Columbia ?

what’re u planning on studying

[sterile badger]

Nah Columbia my top choice unless I get into HY. Want Penn just cause it be cool if I got in. Also compsci!

[mint fossil]

HY?

Ahh okay I figured a lot would prolly pick Columbia over Penn

unless Wharton’s

[tiny helm]

good stuff haha, i got waitlisted

[proven adder]

Yeah UPenn is my top choice because of Wharton lol

[sterile badger]

Harvard Yale

And yea I wanted to do Wharton M&T but felt like I had not shot so I just went college of engineering

Also did not want to do the 500 word essay💀

[tiny helm]

i didnt apply for wharton but i want to minor in wharton and take a ton of classes there

[proven adder]

one week :\

[mint fossil]

same here

[fathom quarry]

yall being asked for updated grades?

[mint fossil]

Ahh tbh I like Columbia more than either

[azure thicket]

Probably a good sign but no on my side

[mint fossil]

Nah

I’m also domestic though so schoo is still in session

[fathom quarry]

im not asked too

and now im concerned

shit

[formal trellis]

i mean we’ll find out in a week

[tardy ore]

lmao why is my slate still on "in progress"

[somber dove]

how do you get your apps onto slate

i discovered slate like yesterday

[tardy ore]

same lmao

just make an account with the same email and add ur info (name, high school etc) and it'll sync them automatically

[fathom quarry]

what if my school has no ceeb code tho

[tardy ore]

RIP

[tiny helm]

its like that for everyone cause they dont participate in slate, but dont use slate for anything lol, it leads to unnecessary speculation that is usually false

[tiny helm]

BRO I WAS SO SCARED WHEN I SAW THIS

[surreal rock]

Lmao

[mint fossil]

Yk what was odd about my interview

That I’m just now recalling

The alumni wasnt from my area

And never was

I thought most interviews stick to region

[digital forum]

Why's that odd

Mine wasn't either

She was a white woman from MA who lives in Philadelphia

She used to work for Penn admissions

[mint fossil]

Idk i had 4 other interviews and all of the people were from my area or were at one point

[digital forum]

No I only had Penn and Yale and none were from my area

[mint fossil]

Yeah my interviewer was an alumni just graduated a year proper

Prior

[digital forum]

My area doesn't have alumni though

[mint fossil]

ahh okay

[digital forum]

And for Yale it was a senior

But I think

It doesn't matter

[mint fossil]

My Yale interviewer was from my area originally

[small raven]

what’s the link

[mint fossil]

Not sure I don’t have it

It’s just an admitted students day sign up thing

[small raven]

Do you have the link for nw?

[north parrot]

https://ugadmission.northwestern.edu/portal/admitted_student_tours

[digital forum]

everyone can register for this though

[north parrot]

Yeah ik

[tiny helm]

same, my alumni goes to washu

[warm pecan]

[urban charm]

Congrats 🎊

[manic bear]

Was anyone else here deferred from ed?

[barren torrent]

yep

[manic bear]

I had a good interview and strong first semester grades so I feel like I have some chance

[barren torrent]

yeah same. i wrote a really solid loci so i'm hoping that gives some weightage

[manic bear]

I thought about writing a loci in January but decided against it because I haven't done/accomplished anything significant.

[barren torrent]

did you write any loci?

[manic bear]

Nope

[barren torrent]

dang its prolly fine

i got waitlisted by 5 schools bruh penn better clutch

[manic bear]

I have two acceptances from state schools and I would be happy attending one, 1 deferral, and one rejection from Washu

Hopefully one of the remaining clutches

[barren torrent]

yessir

im waiting on 8 more decisions

penn is the one im hoping for most

[proven adder]

Sameeeee

Not quite eight, but still a number, but upenn is the one i'm hoping for the most

[native rivet]

[fathom quarry]

[umbral horizon]

lame

[fathom quarry]

[clever palm]

Ty

[proven adder]

They said that to everyone...

[uneven needle]

Thank you. This prevented a minor freak out (the good kind)

[proven adder]

You're welcome lol, it does sound pessimistic

[uneven needle]

does it? Imo it sounds more friendly than rejection-y

[proven adder]

Well to me it sounds pessimistic 😂

[spice ivy]

yall reading into it too much, they're just sending that to announce decision date

[clever palm]

Yeah, twas just a joke

[clever palm]

This pic isn’t supposed to load, the pic is what the pic is

[mint fossil]

Lol

it was jokes

[spice ivy]

interesting that they would say the application process is now complete but they would still wait another week to send out decisions

[edgy pasture]

they have to release on ivy day

[spice ivy]

i know

well, whatever ivy everyone else is waiting on needs to get their act together

[manic bear]

Dang everyone in this chat got likelys

We are so smart

[steep geyser]

i just want an acceptance

[fleet ledge]

30th is our day 🪢

[minor prawn]

Alright yall i got a dilemma

[mint fossil]

sup

[minor prawn]

I uploaed a youtube video for the admissions office to watch

[mint fossil]

yup

[minor prawn]

but when i look at the demographics of views there is no one from philly

do i js kill myself that they js skipped thru my deferral letter

meow

[mint fossil]

nah

they mighta watched it

you never kno

[minor prawn]

why is google lying to me

[mint fossil]

they dont gotta have their account under philly

imagine u made a gmail

and then moved states

or cities to a new job

aint no way u are going all the way into your settings to remember to change your city when u first signed up

[minor prawn]

there is no other viewer

except people from my city tho

which is all probably me n my friends

lol

[mint fossil]

what if they watched w/out being signed in?

[azure thicket]

^

[minor prawn]

oh

is that

oh balls

interesting

yea fuccin hopefully breh

but very low chance they wouldnt be logged in wtf who does that

[spice ivy]

Y’all read into this shit waaaayyy too much

[mint fossil]

swear

[mint fossil]

based just take the possibility and wait the ~6 days

[spice ivy]

If penn can’t even bother to watch your video, then fuck them and excel somewhere else

[minor prawn]

u right

weiner balls

(pls i didnt mean that penn take me in pleas)

[oak edge]

GT waitlist

so we are now Penn simps

🙏🙏

[fathom quarry]

Penn simp 🤚

[oak edge]

hello fellow penn simp

[fleet ledge]

[bitter carbon]

[bitter carbon]

erm

jk

[mint fossil]

depends

prolly like

~<10

Give or take

[oak edge]

damn

scary

[somber dove]

so true

guys if i get accepted into upenn does that increase my chances of getting in?

[stoic mirage]

Portal astrology isn't allowed

A few words don't indicate your chance of getting in

[somber dove]

how can I be sure of getting in then

[stoic mirage]

FBI calls you

But it only increases your chances by 10%

[stoic mirage]

You can never be sure

[thin root]

what the hell

[pliant valve]

satan is definitely going to ball state

[glad oar]

hey man! fellow

[somber dove]

oh hi

[glad oar]

my hopes for this school dropped significantly after my rejection

[somber dove]

dude we're literally on the same boat

same

[thin root]

WE ARE AMERICA. SECOND TO NONE. AND WE OWN THE FINISH LINE

[somber dove]

give me financial aid then

[steep geyser]

real

[lofty sphinx]

crazy how this next week determines the next 4 years for me

[lime reef]

I didnt send a LOCI and now i feel like im fucked for RD

[visual gorge]

bro

i have been thinking this for so long

its actually insane to think about

[lofty sphinx]

people get in without sending a loci

but you really should have done one

[fathom quarry]

Same here

[lime reef]

Yea I know I fucked up

[lime reef]

Trust 😤

[visual gorge]

new nickname 😄

[lofty sphinx]

i underestimated the difficulty of top cs schools

[visual gorge]

at least penn doesnt admit by major

[lime reef]

What schools admit by major?

[visual gorge]

state schools

[lofty sphinx]

publics

[visual gorge]

and others

[lime reef]

ah

[lofty sphinx]

CMU does

bc cs

[lime reef]

I have a little bit of hope for Penn because I got deferred ED but still very slim chance I actually get accepted

[fathom quarry]

I really really really love penn pls penn

[odd basalt]

pls penn i luv u sm

[lime reef]

The thing is the school already made their decision so just have to wait

nothing we can do now

[odd basalt]

pls love me as much as i luv u

[mint fossil]

Literally

drazy

i love pennc

[odd basalt]

accept me on thursday i beg

[lime reef]

did you guys apply to any other ivies?

[mint fossil]

Frl do me a solid penn

[mint fossil]

All of them

[lime reef]

damn

how are you gonna open them @mint fossil ?

[mint fossil]

• Stanford + Duke

[mint fossil]

Spin the wheel

[lime reef]

did you ED to one?

[odd basalt]

me deciding to apply to harvard and yale as my other ivies 😄 i should've applied to more of them tbh

[odd basalt]

SAME

[lime reef]

I applied to all accept Dartmouth and Yale

I put Harvard in last minute for shits and giggles

[visual gorge]

real

[odd basalt]

the northwestern waitlist has made me super scared for these lmao

[lime reef]

Northwestern is harder to get than some ivies

4% acceptance rate this year

At least you didn't get rejected (I got rejected)

[odd basalt]

yeah ik i'm just hoping stanny, duke, yale, harvard, and penn see somehting more in me

[mint fossil]

Nah

I’m too broke to

Ed

without seeing financials

[odd basalt]

my why NU was also an essay that i was really proud of

[lime reef]

makes sense

[odd basalt]

noooo im sorry something better is coming! manifest

[lime reef]

It's alright I didn't get in to a lot of places

Rejected UChicago, UVA, Northwestern, and Tufts

[odd basalt]

it's all so random bruh...waitlist Northwestern and Northeastern, rejected MIT

[lime reef]

Yea I know, a lot of my friends college decisions are so random they don't make sense

hopefully some good news is coming soon

Congrats on vandy by the way @odd basalt 🙂

[odd basalt]

i have two friends that are clean sweeping rn and I'm happy for them, but kinda jealous at the same time; i just wish that something bigger is coming for me (ahem yale or penn) and this is all just leading up to that

[lime reef]

you got it dw!

[odd basalt]

like one of them got a columbia likely and then got into northwestern yesterday and the other got into northwestern yesterday, washu, unc, and a whole swath of amazing schools. the only place they've been rejected is mit

[lime reef]

Most of my friends got into schools ED

[lime reef]

Wow that's crazy

[odd basalt]

hahah thank you:))

[visual gorge]

Vandy is fire

[fathom quarry]

stanny rejected me early on..

since then i was never the sae

same

always pessimistic

[spice ivy]

Is there any possibility you could still email the admissions office? Maybe you can give them a call and see if you can still hand something in?

[visual gorge]

Doubt it

[lime reef]

I think its too late to do that

[spice ivy]

I know the portal is closed

[lime reef]

They already made their decision nothing is gonna change that

[spice ivy]

I suppose you’re right

[fathom quarry]

nothing's gonna change my love for penn

[mint fossil]

Ye

no one really applies to ivys from my school

[spice ivy]

Well, if you ended up visiting Penn, they may have that in their logs

[fathom quarry]

same

[spice ivy]

And consider that as continued interest

[lime reef]

Yea I already visited

[mint fossil]

I did and one other girl but nobody has gotten into any of them since like

4 years ago and then like never before that

[lime reef]

I visited almost all the schools I applied to

[spice ivy]

Our school got 5 in ED

I’m nervous lol

[visual gorge]

Wtf

[fathom quarry]

5?

[lime reef]

to Penn?

[fathom quarry]

that's insane

[lime reef]

WTF

[mint fossil]

Tf

[visual gorge]

Feeder school?

[spice ivy]

Ye it’s actually wild

[lime reef]

what school do you go to 😭

[spice ivy]

We’re not a feeder, they liked us this year

[mint fossil]

My school hasn’t had 5 get into ANY ivys in the last 20 years

[fathom quarry]

my school never got into an ivy

[lime reef]

My school got 7 ivy last year

[spice ivy]

They even accepted the same person twice! (Twins)

[lime reef]

But for my class there has been 2 so far

[visual gorge]

Ah that’s a policy they have

[mint fossil]

I got faith ima get into at least 1 Ivy but I hope I do get into spend

[next ivy]

where the other m and t program mfers at

[spice ivy]

I go to a very competitive Catholic high school

[next ivy]

negative chance of getting in but wtv

[lime reef]

If I get into an ivy ill shave my head

[visual gorge]

Cant get in without trying

[next ivy]

yessa

[mint fossil]

swear

5 days man

[lime reef]

I think Ill do the wheel strategy too when deciding which school to open first 😂

[mint fossil]

Penn would b a dream

[mint fossil]

ye ima do wheel for all of them

it makes it more fun

[next ivy]

best part is that my school got some multicultural night on ivy day

[lime reef]

true

[next ivy]

starts right when decisions come out

[mint fossil]

yea i got robotics during decisions

gonna just open them late that night

[oblique jasper]

In all the videos they get rejected everywhere then do like harvard last and get in

Need that

[mint fossil]

swear they always get rejected everywhere then get an acceptance right at the end

[lime reef]

I'll probably be at PT when decisions come out

[mint fossil]

cutting it too close

[oblique jasper]

Fr like how do they do that

[next ivy]

THEY JUST KNOW

[mint fossil]

making me nervous for them

[visual gorge]

Do the schools communicate at all

[mint fossil]

bro idk

[fathom quarry]

is it possible if they opened it previously

[visual gorge]

Since they r ivies

[fathom quarry]

and when they record it they somewhat alr know

is that a possibility

[mint fossil]

Yo abcde what’s the best Celsius

aboutta buy some

[oblique jasper]

Idk because usually like some kind of video or confetti

[spice ivy]

See now y’all reading into it too much again

Sleep until 3/30

[visual gorge]

I have so much school work

🧍‍♂️

[mint fossil]

[visual gorge]

😭

[fathom quarry]

fr tho umich

[mint fossil]

most of the sparkling ones taste so bad to me idk

[lime reef]

Why did I take 5 APs senior year

[oblique jasper]

That's how I feel about green tea sometimes 😭

[mint fossil]

ong

[mint fossil]

😭😭 damn

[visual gorge]

Yea I prolly should’ve taken a lighter schedule

[oblique jasper]

Like the rasberry acai green tea leaves a weird aftertaste

[visual gorge]

But maybe it will help me get into Penn 😂

[mint fossil]

ye I like that one but I agree

w that statement

[lime reef]

Yea me too, its not like its helping me get into anywhere...

[visual gorge]

[lime reef]

TRUST

[fathom quarry]

hb ppl w no ap classes 🤡

[mint fossil]

The best one I’ve had was the

mandarin marshmallow or whatever it was

Random ass flavor but it was good asf

[oblique jasper]

I need to try it

[mint fossil]

yes u do

[oblique jasper]

They have so many flavors I've never seen

[mint fossil]

yea some stores have so many

It’s so weird

like they just appear tf

[mint fossil]

Nah it’s showing that u take a rigorous course load even when unnecessary

it still helps

[lime reef]

I hope

[mint fossil]

Shows u actually care about learning and shit not just trtna get into college

[fathom quarry]

does anyone know penn acceptance rate for intl kids

[mint fossil]

(U don’t care about learning u just want to get into college but they don’t know that)

[lime reef]

True to an extent lmao

[mint fossil]

ik

Cause I’m the same

[oblique jasper]

Need to go hunting for them

[mint fossil]

collecting them bitches like Pokémon

😭😭

[oblique jasper]

No because genuinely I've barely tried any of them

They have the same ones every time I go

[mint fossil]

ye me neither I just started to buy them a few weeks ago

[oblique jasper]

I used to think people who brought them to school were weird but now I'm people

[mint fossil]

I never bring them to school

I like to use the caffeine for the gym

I can make it through the school day good enuff

[oblique jasper]

I have classes on two campuses so usually on my way to the second one I'll bring one

I have lit and calc so it's a very painful like 4 hours 😭

[mint fossil]

I c I c

Do u have like

Block sched or smth

[mint fossil]

[oblique jasper]

Yeah we have A days and B days

[oblique jasper]

tbh the caffeine does nothing for me 😭 like even I drink those starbucks triple shots I don't feel any more awake

It's like for taste purposes only 💀

[mint fossil]

I lowkey wish our school was like this instead we go 6 classes a day and it’s ass

[lime reef]

Felt but I have 7 classes

[mint fossil]

Yea I don’t do allat my mom would yell at me

[oblique jasper]

We have four each day but one of mine is double blocked so only three classes on B day

[mint fossil]

weird I feel like it’s way easier to learn when it’s blocked

but also like u prolly begging to leave thwt class by the end

[oblique jasper]

My double blocked class is three hours 💀

[mint fossil]

Ye f that

I can barely deal with being in AP lit for 55 mins

[visual gorge]

Ap lit is so ass

[oblique jasper]

Lit is so bad I always fall asleep

[lime reef]

I hate AP Lit

[mint fossil]

swear and my teacher is so corny

[lime reef]

Glad we are all on the same page

[visual gorge]

Fr lol

[oblique jasper]

We have 45 mins then 55 mins lunch then 45 mins so lunch helps

[visual gorge]

I have 90 minute classes

[lime reef]

My teacher gives up pop AP essays and doesn’t curve the grades

[mint fossil]

BRO

[visual gorge]

Damn

[mint fossil]

55 Minute lunch???

[oblique jasper]

Yesterday we did table reads and I'm ngl my classmates write so bad

[visual gorge]

I keep getting 4/6 on the stupid essays

[lime reef]

So if you get 4/6 on the essay it will go in as a 66% in the gradebook

[oblique jasper]

Made me feel better

[visual gorge]

Oh I’d be finished

[lime reef]

I am already finished

[oblique jasper]

Only good thing here

[lime reef]

That’s why I got a B it’s such BS

[visual gorge]

Yea

That sucks

[mint fossil]

Bro

[lime reef]

It is what it is

[mint fossil]

My lunch is 30

Minutes

like ??

hello?

[visual gorge]

Wtf do u do for 55 minutes

[mint fossil]

fr

Spring break saving my life rn

[lime reef]

I have spring break in a week

[oblique jasper]

Well 10 minutes are technically passing period because 5 before 5 after

I usually do homework

[visual gorge]

Oh that’s nice then

[oblique jasper]

Most days my mom asks why my lunch is full 💀

Like girl I was working

No time

[visual gorge]

😂

[agile rose]

penn's sigma admissions team killed portal astrology in its entirety by disabling the applicant portal

[mint fossil]

Y’all allowed to leave for lunch ?

[mint fossil]

IK but they didn’t disable the finaid portal

[oblique jasper]

We used to but a few years ago someone got ran over and died so we can't anymore 😭

People still go anyways

My freshman year I think was the last year they let 11th/12th graders do it

[visual gorge]

🧍‍♂️

Rip to that person

[mint fossil]

Tf

they used to let us do it too

But there’s a corner store right near my school and so ig all the kids would go there and cause trouble stealing and fighting

so they said no more

[glad oar]

can we all agree penn is the only ivy that everyone loves?

[north tulip]

yea

[devout scarab]

nah penn displaces people in surrounding areas

super corrupt admistration

[north tulip]

should I be concerned that my regional AO isn't responding to my emails?

[spice ivy]

i have never gotten a single response from an ivy league school

if that makes you feel any better

[unique galleon]

i wouldnt say that

[thin root]

good to know for when i get rejected

[burnt merlin]

generally isnt being deferred from penn quite good

unlike the other ivys wehre they defer like everyone

[dusk shale]

waitlist at Northwestern is a big deal

69 kids got into NU off of waitlist last year

about 15% acceptance rate off waitlist

[pliant valve]

wait really?

how many kids got waitlisted at NU

last year

cause I got wailisted at NU

[wintry arrow]

same

but i checked online and it says it’s hard to get off of waitlist

for northwestern

[woeful scroll]

yes penn i love u pls show some support

[echo thunder]

penn L

[thin root]

for the penn aspirants:

[fallow mulch]

😫

[north tulip]

should I be worried that I got put to the london college at Boston Uni? Like if I got sent to the london college, I prob won't have a shot at penn.

[spice ivy]

i would really not be worried bro, this year is a complete shot in the dark

[solar sail]

Upenn will accept me

[royal river]

is it normal for my upenn app to still be in progress in slate D:

[proud storm]

probably

don't worry about slate

[low yacht]

Please do not portal astrologize

This is precisely why we try to ban discussion of it

It goes nowhere

[low yacht]

Hardly

I feel like half of penn doesn’t even like penn

It’s a deeply flawed institution

[urban charm]

Completely unrelated

[low yacht]

NEU deferred waitlisted rejected me and I’m at penn, they’re really not correlated

[north tulip]

sheesh congrats man

[mint fossil]

dont pay attention to it

its jus cap

[tiny helm]

good luck

they’re definitely not admitting me

[visual gorge]

What is slate

[low yacht]

its a tool some kids have access to

universities use slate in the admissions process

[visual gorge]

Oh ok

[low yacht]

but if you have a CEEB code i believe you can access it and see whatever slate labels your application

it literally means nothing

[visual gorge]

Bet then I won’t worry abt it

[low yacht]

but people obsess over the differences between shit like "complete" versus "decision made"

[low yacht]

based

[visual gorge]

😂

I do the same sometimes can’t lie

[toxic shard]

lowkey brown is

[north tulip]

Anyone know if it is easy to go from nursing to pre med?

[mint fossil]

once you are accepted?

I dont think its too difficult

[visual gorge]

how about switching from CS to Wharton

if i wanted to switch

[lofty hollow]

i think switching into wharton is incredibly difficult no matter what

[visual gorge]

ah

[clever palm]

Agree with Yoco

[pliant valve]

I got into GTech CS so if I get UPenn VIPER with CS/Math, which one should I pick?

[spice ivy]

Lol, as a greedy asshole I’d say GTech so I can maybe have your spot at Penn

[lucid finch]

Guys, if I got into Northwestern, do you think i have a decent chance at UPenn?

[spice ivy]

But it’s honestly up to you, depending on your financial situation, if you’re in state, etc.

[urban charm]

Ur probably a competitive applicant but means nothing really

It all falls down to fit

[urban charm]

I’d say upenn

[mint fossil]

Tough to compare colleges

[maiden grove]

What’s your stats

[mint fossil]

u can’t really say like

If u get into one will u get into another

[maiden grove]

Also it depends on your location

And aid

[mint fossil]

Each school is looking for something diff

[lucid finch]

That’s fair

Thanks!

[misty quest]

Ik you already got some replies. In at Northwestern means you’re qualified for Penn surely, but the correlation among acceptance to top schools isn’t strong or predictable. I got in Northwestern, then rejected from USC and waitlisted at Carnegie Mellon, which are both, in theory, “easier” schools

[oak edge]

exactly

😭😭

if i get into UNC as intl and USC for their CSBA program, do i have a god shot at Penn CS?😩

[umbral horizon]

sup

[fathom quarry]

4 days, 16 hours to go

[umbral horizon]

i have my last final on ivy day

gonna open my decision after the final

[fathom quarry]

is it a dumb move to open the decision before the final

im also having a final on ivy day

[umbral horizon]

yes it is

[fathom quarry]

lmaoo

[umbral horizon]

i opened my usc rejection on the morning of my final

[fathom quarry]

mood drop

[umbral horizon]

but it wasnt too sad as i wasnt keen on cal

but

i got into bu in the evening

[fathom quarry]

if i got flat out rejections

i'll cry

fr

[pliant valve]

Getting into GTech CS is such a relief

Big dubs

[fathom quarry]

congrats to you!

[pliant valve]

Thanks

I'm probably one of 10 people from my country even applying to Penn VIPER

Lmao

[fathom quarry]

i didn't know viper existed before i got into this thread

[pliant valve]

Lol

[fathom quarry]

wait is the berkeley thread locked

or is it just me?

[lofty sphinx]

its locked

[fathom quarry]

why?

[lofty sphinx]

idk

[fathom quarry]

too much astrology?

[lofty sphinx]

ye

[fathom quarry]

rip

[shut rain]

but also shouldn't ur guys' nicknames be upenn simps, because penn simps can be penn state simps too

[urban charm]

upenn simp

[agile rose]

upenn goes by "penn" in pretty much every piece of media, including the logo...penn state is just penn state

[oak edge]

upenn is the real penn

penn state is a cheap copy💯

[fleet ledge]

fr

if you think penn can = penn state then ur not a true penn simp

[latent berry]

Who applied to Penn nets program?

[low yacht]

Penn calls itself penn I fear

[shut rain]

lol i apologize for my crimes against penn

[fathom quarry]

its totally cool

[shut rain]

I am a Jerome Fisher simp

[fathom quarry]

U applying for m&t?

[umbral horizon]

i just normally applied to wharton with innovation and entrepreneurship major

[shut rain]

yup

[fleet ledge]

M&t seems cool but unachievable 🥲

[shut rain]

yes but one can hope

[umbral horizon]

iirc the acceptance rate is less than 3%

[fathom quarry]

💀

[fiery sinew]

I applied to M&T as an Int'l Indian needing Fin Aid and not from a feeder school 💀💀
Kill me already

[umbral horizon]

idts feeder schools matter in intl admissions

[fiery sinew]

they do.... 75%+ admits to T20s are from feeders

[umbral horizon]

dm me about feeders names

[fiery sinew]

there are schools that send like 30-40% to T20s. It's insane

[umbral horizon]

i think i am from one

[muted forge]

applied wharton as an int' indian w/o aid from a semi feeder

[umbral horizon]

wait someone dm me about indian feeders

[fiery sinew]

U got a solid shot then

[fiery sinew]

I dm-ed u.... idt u saw my text

[muted forge]

hoping for the best

[fiery sinew]

w/o aid u have a solid chance... about 20x higher than w/ aid

[muted forge]

I only applied w/o aid to a few schools

penn is one em

[umbral horizon]

@muted forge accepted anywhere else other than usc?

[muted forge]

northeastern iu kelley

ucla waitlist

[muted forge]

most rejected from all my aid schools

[fiery sinew]

Oh...

[muted forge]

my parents are only willing to pay the sticker price for a few schools haha

[umbral horizon]

slay fellow iu kelley admit

[muted forge]

wby

[fiery sinew]

this int'l guy I know was full pay and got columbia likely and NU and USC scholarship. Applied for aid at JHU. Flat reject. That's how bad it is

[umbral horizon]

top ones are iu kelly, umass amherst, uiuc

and bu

[muted forge]

crazy and sad at the same time

[umbral horizon]

rejected ucla, ucr for some reason and usc

[muted forge]

[umbral horizon]

awaiting umich, nyu (ed defer), upenn, cornell, ucb

[fiery sinew]

[muted forge]

[muted forge]

I'm waiting on berkeley, umich (defer) nyu (defer) rice penn & duke

[fiery sinew]

[muted forge]

[somber dove]

[oak edge]

[somber dove]

sigh

[somber dove]

[fathom quarry]

Hello fellow simps

[tiny helm]

For which college?

[oak edge]

[somber dove]

[somber dove]

[oak edge]

[fathom quarry]

[oak edge]

||Jamnabai Narsee School||

[solar hawk]

my public schooool in miami is feeder to Ivies. We've had a toatl of 12 get in so far and another 20 into T'20s

[somber dove]

[azure gazelle]

My school's ranked Top 25 in India and Top 5 in my state

[somber dove]

i've heard of ur school afair

[oak edge]

i dont have much info of feeder schools outside mumbai lol

[fathom quarry]

My school is not even ranked top 1000 in my country

[somber dove]

[azure gazelle]

[oak edge]

here dhirubai ambani is the top feeder

approximately >10 ivies every year

[somber dove]

oh makes sense

[muted forge]

is lancaster selective wtf

[somber dove]

calcutta international school is also a good feeder but IB board s owe don't get ranked with them

[somber dove]

not really but it's not bad either

[oak edge]

being in a feeder is a blessing

[fathom quarry]

If im not from a feeder does that mean my chances are virtually none

[oak edge]

not true

[muted forge]

are you asking for aid though

[fathom quarry]

No

[somber dove]

dude i got rejected from BU yesterday ion think im qualified to answer

[muted forge]

not that bad then

[oak edge]

many jee kids get ivies...they dont go to feeder schools most of the time

[fathom quarry]

Im backed up by another scholarship

[oak edge]

cuz feeders are too rigourous for JEE kids to handle both JEE and school

[somber dove]

i'm a jee kid who's basically given up on jee

[fathom quarry]

😭

[somber dove]

i'd just do a phd from ashoka or sumn

[azure gazelle]
