i had some woman from my local area that was doing a very similar major to my own, the conversation was so natural

[neat vale]

honestly tho they have to choose interviews based on students their somewhat interested in right

[visual gorge]

Nah they allegedly give to 90%

But idk

[visual wing]

I know someone who’s parent does interviews and they said that in the last 15 years not a single one has gotten in no matter how good of a rec she gave

[visual gorge]

💀

[visual wing]

yeah the interview is rly just not a big part

[spice ivy]

bruh, you don't want that person interviewing you

you're like condemned

[visual gorge]

I think a ton of people just give good feedback

Unless the person is like obviously bad

would informing them about the change in the financial status to full pay get me off of the waitlist?

[proud storm]

hey i'm sorry you got no financial aid and it's not the ivy you wanted, but also saying thhat amongst people who would love your spot is a bit insensitive

[night venture]

thank you!

[low yacht]

But thanks for pinging me veause I don’t check I dm requests lol

[nimble glacier]

is appealing a rejection possible

[golden kindle]

Anyone know if penn has a class of 2027 Instagram? Or discord?

[proud storm]

penn has a co2027 discord!

i think @low yacht may have it idk

[solar sail]

ugh do i have to do a loci

for waitlist

like will it hurt me if i dont

[proud storm]

do you want to get in

[urban charm]

I got it

Accept discord friend req

@low yacht how is food?

[low yacht]

Oh lord

Uh

Ok I dunk on it a lot

The food itself is fine

I’m salty

The food is fine and often good

Steer clear of Hill and Commons and you’re eating good

[urban charm]

Its like swipes right

[low yacht]

Yeah there’s two plans for freshmen

Choose the one with fewer swipes/more dollars

[urban charm]

Because bc was my top choice until today and it was pay per item there

[low yacht]

Dollars are more useful

[urban charm]

Meal plan is covered by financial aid right?

[low yacht]

Yeah

[urban charm]

Oooo okay nice

Is there a lot of acs on campus

[low yacht]

Air conditioners?

Yeah now

They renovated a lot of the older bhuldings

To add them

[urban charm]

Sickkk

Im so excited

Like i genuinely never though upenn was like even on the map for me

[fallen lotus]

YES!!! I'm getting really excited about it!

[hollow roost]

does anyone have penn disc server

for class 2027

[muted cosmos]

Yeah, it seems really interesting. I was initially going to decline my admission until I noticed that, and now I’m seriously considering UPenn.

[urban charm]

I got it

Add on disc

[cyan aspen]

guys

[urban charm]

Yo

[cyan aspen]

I got waitlisted lol

Penn is also the college where I took a bunch of risks in my essays trying to be funny so that's actually kind of cool

[neat inlet]

is waitlist a good thing at penn?

[cyan aspen]

acceptnaace off of waitlist is dismal

[eager sparrow]

would updating penn to change your financial status from seeking full aid to full pay get you off of the waitlist?

as an international

[cyan aspen]

I'm not sure bro, but it's def worth a shot

I'm not sure where you would tell them that, maybe someone else can help you. I don't know about putting it on a loci

[odd basalt]

thank u father ben

[urban charm]

WOOHOOO UPENNNN

still doesnt feel real

I didnt even know what the ivy league was a year ago

[urban charm]

U TURKISH TOO??

[gloomy galleon]

half Turkish yes

[urban charm]

Where from

[gloomy galleon]

born in America but my moms from Ankara

Wbu

[urban charm]

Same born in america but parents from giresun

[gloomy galleon]

ooh nice

do you speak any Turkish

[urban charm]

Speak decently

Read yea

Write basically no

[unkempt grotto]

i was too good for upenn obvs was yield protected 🙄

[urban charm]

Hbu?

[gloomy galleon]

same

I can kinda speak fine but with an accent

Write like basic text messages

And read ok

I wonder if UPenn has a Turkish students association

I feel like I wrote about that in one of my penn essays

[urban charm]

They prolly do, all other top schools i applied to have one

[gloomy galleon]

Swag

I tried joining penncord but it’s locked 😭

[idle tundra]

Anyone got a UPenn acceptance letter

That I can use for manifestation

[neat inlet]

[gloomy galleon]

<3

[idle tundra]

💯🤗

[low yacht]

Still possible doe

[oak edge]

rejected, not even waitlist

fair enough

bye guyss

[edgy pasture]

same

Dartmouth got me

[blissful ridge]

penn waitlisted me without offering me an interview

on their cds, the interview is listed as important

this doesn't bode well for my chances of getting off the waitlist, correct?

edited edited edited

[low yacht]

Incorrect

Penn does intevriews based on alumni availability

[low yacht]

Interviews are important — as long as you have them, though. If you were never offered one, they aren’t holding it against you

Getting off the waitlist in if itself is extremely difficult

But not being offered an interview from penn will not be a factor

[blissful ridge]

i see

not quite sure if pursuing the waitlist would be worth it at this point

just prolonging the process with no guarantees of whether it'll work out :'))

anyway, thank you!

[gloomy galleon]

Yeah I didn’t get an interview for penn

[oblique jasper]

gg pen

[urban charm]

Still cant believe this 😭

[urban charm]

Ive already been asked if upenn and penn state are the same school 😻

[muted cosmos]

I was offered an interview but I declined it. I don’t think not receiving one will matter.

[gloomy galleon]

Could someone DM me the UPenn discord ?

Whenever I try to join the one linked online it gives me an error

[odd basalt]

^^^

[plain tangle]

Can someone tell me if there’s a UPenn insta gc

[feral hornet]

omg hi guys!! did anyone get into huntsman ??

[bitter carbon]

pop by

https://www.thedp.com/article/2023/03/dear-penn-2027-acceptance-admissions-secrets

[blissful ridge]

i assume you got in? congrats!

[tiny helm]

Do you think the waitlist is going to move more this year

[urban charm]

Someone just said upenn is a state school

[tired forge]

how many people are usually waitlisted?

[feral hornet]

istg it’s so annoying

[low yacht]

Last year it was like 2.5k

[urban charm]

How many get off?

[low yacht]

120 or so

[urban charm]

Atleast its well known professionally :D

[glass falcon]

Upenn is a state school

[gloomy galleon]

UPenn financial aid is insane

It costs just 5k more than my state school

And I get a huge discount at my state school because both my parents are faculty

[digital forum]

Yes mine too

[stoic mirage]

You're violating ppl 😭

Are you allowed to do that as a mod

[low yacht]

yeah

part of the job

[stoic mirage]

Lmao

[boreal steeple]

damn i was missing forms so couldn’t see mine

[clever palm]

ayo?

Can I ask what your efc was

[gloomy galleon]

fafsa said 37k

penn made their calculation and said 30k

[clever palm]

so you need to pay 30k?

[gloomy galleon]

yeah

[clever palm]

gotcha

nice

[boreal steeple]

bro i hope this happens to me to bro 😭🙏🏾

[feral hornet]

i wish i got that 😭 i’m gonna have to pay 2x more of what cal will be for me

[digital forum]

Is anyone here a world scholar

At Penn

[gloomy galleon]

Damn oofff

im kinda scared of the culture at penn tbh

it seems to be really competitive

[feral hornet]

same esp at wharton . i’m already getting imposter syndrome for being accepted to huntsman i can’t imagine being surrounded by penn students who are crazy accomplished AND crazy ambitious

[urban charm]

Same 😭

I hear penn classes are hard too

[rapid wigeon]

Yo anyone know where UPenn '27 is

The discord that is

Hey @urban charm do you know where the UPenn '27 discord os

[urban charm]

Yea add me on disc

[median tree]

yo congrats getting accepted into huntsman thats huge

[feral hornet]

omg thank you!!

i’m so curious if anyone else in this server got into huntsman

[waxen trout]

going to penn solely so i can call myself a penngineer

[urban charm]

I dont think so its huntsman 💀

[feral hornet]

lmfao so real

i was ab to ask if anyone got in for russian but that’s probably even more rare

[urban charm]

oh sick i just realized i got invited to apply to jws lol

idek what it is really

but still very cool

[red urchin]

yo can u add me to the discord as well

[urban charm]

yep just add me on disc

[gloomy galleon]

same

[tiny helm]

how hard is it to get off of penns waitlist

[clever palm]

https://ira.upenn.edu/sites/default/files/UPenn-Common-Data-Set-2021-22-Rev-07.2022.pdf

[plucky robin]

4.4%

[tiny helm]

that’s doable

[urban charm]

Yea cornell is .4% apparently

[clever palm]

It ranges from 4% to 16%

[plucky robin]

Oh wow, that's actually really high

OKAY GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

[clever palm]

Seems like 2020 was a fluke though lol

because you have years like this

so just send in your loci if you have one and pray ig

[plucky robin]

I won't have my hopes up then, but I certainly hope to be wrong

[clever palm]

The WL acceptance rate has been hovering around 4-5% for the past 6 years at Penn, according to their CDS

so there’s definitely still somewhat of a shot

good luck

[plucky robin]

Good luck!

[barren torrent]

yoo howd everything end for you bro?

[tiny helm]

didn’t get in anywhere

bro idek what they want from me

[barren torrent]

that sucks bro. these colleges are dumb asf. where do you think youre gonna commit? i see that you are on penn's waitlist so hopefully you get off man. i was flat rejected from all the ivys

[tiny helm]

utulsa, i have a waitlist at case, jhu, Vanderbilt, emory, rice, Cornell, and penn

I want to get off of one of them man

Now that I’m thinking about it, my safety is not too bad, they give me a $300k scholarship (75 a year) and all expenses only add up to 69 so I get to cash the $6k and learn to fly

Also I get to graduate in two years and then apply for med school or get an mph

[odd basalt]

dude they did you so dirty i read those essays

[tiny helm]

bro i totally agree, ill push the waitlist, contacted the head of the departments I met at acs, and hopefully will get a lead somewhere

im just confused on the process, i feel like they focused more on fitting political and institutional needs rather than merit these past few years and it’s just unlucky

ofc that doesn’t mean people that got in aren’t qualified, but that means many highly qualified people also did not get in

[urban charm]

Its just the process has become too competitive as a whole

Like the schools themselves say that they could fill multiple classes with qualified students from just one cycle

They just need to drop some new t20s tbh

[low yacht]

Ok guys I’m gonna send my LOCI in here

For the waitlisted pookies

I hope y’all get in ❤️❤️❤️

I’m obviously not perfect but I think I did a good job of a LOCI without any major ipdates

[edgy pasture]

are you the goat for this carly ⁉️⁉️⁉️

[odd basalt]

nvm!!!

ignore me!

[low yacht]

Lol I’m a student

😭

But yeah a page is the ballpark

But a lil more don’t hurt anyone

[odd basalt]

i didn't realize that hahahah im sorry

[low yacht]

All good!

[odd basalt]

i thought someone was sending their loci and looking for feedback smh

[low yacht]

I’m also disguised as Carly so that’s fine

[low yacht]

🫡

[tiny helm]

Thank you! My penn interviewer is an alumni of my school and a connection on LinkedIn so I’m going to ask her for advice too. You are a lifesaver!

When should we start sending LOCIs? I’m starting to write them right now and hopefully want to get all of them in next week

[urban charm]

Asap

Before the waitlist response date atleast

[tiny helm]

Ok waitlist response date is the 15th, im trying to get it in by the end of next week after meeting with my counselor

[tiny helm]

I’m also waiting on a reply from the head of the department I applied to, since he wanted me to contact him. Is the end of next week too late?

[low yacht]

I submitted mine April 17

Take your time just don’t send it wildly late

[tiny helm]

I see, I’ll try to get it in at the latest end of next week. Thank you so much!

I want to get off soo bad but also I know it’s tough

[covert shoal]

A girl I know messaged me asking for advice on how to contact her specific AO and how to write a LOCI to them

I have no idea how to help this person

It was for Penn

[tiny helm]

Well you can’t even contact your specific ao for penn

It’s a general email by region

[urban charm]

Nah

15 is friday?

Wait its saturday

[tiny helm]

2 weeks yeah I think

[urban charm]

Yea ur good for whenever tbh

Im just saying to get it in before then bc thats prolly when they start going thru waitlist

So u want them to have ur loci for that

[tiny helm]

Hmm ok I’ll just go for it then, just asked him for advice since I was stressed lol

Should I reiterate updates i sent in March or no? I’m wondering if I sent them after they already read my app

[feral hornet]

does anyone know anyone who has gotten to russian huntsman. or know how to find a course schedule of sample courses for huntsman for russian

[urban charm]

I was abt to be like “oh i know someone!” Then i realized it was you 💀

[urban charm]

Maybe just go over them again quickly

[tiny helm]

Ok for sure, I’m just so unsure what they’re really looking for

[feral hornet]

LMAOOO

that’s literally so funny

[urban charm]

WAIT I FOUND SOMEONE

THIS TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS U BUT ITS SOMEONE ELSE

[feral hornet]

LMAOOO

ITS ME

alt acc :(((

https://tenor.com/view/suhgenre-jccthangs-gif-24975871

[urban charm]

Why do u have an alt on discord smh 🤦‍♂️

[clever palm]

I was filling out the penn fin aid form and I was on this part for my sibling

for tuition and fees, do I put how much my sibling’s college costs without any aid or do I put how much we pay?

o wait I should prob ask in fin aid channel

I’ll leave it here as well ig

[urban charm]

Are u considering penn?

[clever palm]

No, I just want to see the aid offer

[urban charm]

What are u gonna do if its way better than harvard

[clever palm]

Gonna tell Harvard that Penn gave more aid and say harvard is my dream school and I would commit right away if you beat Penn’s offer. Since Penn is viewed as a peer institute, harvard would match or beat penn’s offer.

and then I go harvard

[urban charm]

But like what if they dont

Also is that why u applied to other ivies

Bc thats smart asf

[clever palm]

Yes

That’s the only reason

[clever palm]

Harvard offer is already really good lmao

I’m just tryna get more if possible and using other schools as leveraging points

[stoic mirage]

ily tysm

[clever palm]

I applied to the ivies that had the shortest applications and gave me the greatest chance of getting more aid

[urban charm]

What college dud u get in at penn

[clever palm]

CAS

cause it was shorter than eng and wharton (although I prob wouldn’t have applied to Wharton anyway)

also applied to cornell cas for the same reason

[urban charm]

What u got against wharton

Smh econ major doesnt want wharton??

[clever palm]

I didn’t apply Econ anywhere, I haven’t even done anything related to Econ ever

It’s just a convenient secondary concentration that I may or may not do

[urban charm]

Oh so what u apply as?

prmed/bo?

[clever palm]

bio for pen and cornL

[urban charm]

Wanna be doctor?

[clever palm]

perhaps

not entirely sure

[urban charm]

Be a finance bro

Its sm easier

[clever palm]

I’m leaning towards it but idk

[clever palm]

🗿

[urban charm]

Dude

Way less school

Way easier school

Basically same pay

[clever palm]

The 100% med school acceptance rate from Harvard looks kinda hot

[urban charm]

100%??

[clever palm]

but I’d probably be the first person to lower it

Yeah, I think it’s like 99 or 100% of harvard undergrads get into a med school

[urban charm]

Buddy says this after sweeping 4(?) ivies

[clever palm]

[urban charm]

Ngl if i got in i might have chosen harvard over penn

I was just dumb asf and thought i didnt have a chance so i wrote my supps in two hours and they were poopie

[clever palm]

most people do

[clever palm]

lol rip

[urban charm]

Smh its diff when its wharton trust

[low yacht]

bro 💀

[bitter carbon]

i want to make a reddit post to talk about the "competitive" penn nature as an insider

i feel like that shit would eat

[low yacht]

do it scare them

ill agree w u in the comments

[bitter carbon]

hoenstly its not even thatttt competitive imo

the way that it functions and the appplication process sucks ass

and theyre all so competitive for what

but i feel like the student body isn't that competitive except for clubs bc its such an elite schoool and everyone is given opportunities

but maybe i have a clouded perception

[urban charm]

DONT SAY THIS

[bitter carbon]

it is such a fucking shitshow sorry im just honest

i have more penn pride than the average penn student hell im in student government

but its such a fucking shitshow likeeeee how does an institution not have their shit together at this level

its kinda lit tho and kinda funny

[urban charm]

What are the issues?

Bc from ive heard penn sounds pretty good ngl

[covert shoal]

😨

[bitter carbon]

institutional issues

[gloomy galleon]

????

[bitter carbon]

horrible dining

[gloomy galleon]

😭

[bitter carbon]

extreme wharton favoritism

hypercompetitive nature of clubs

kills people's dreams and sells them out into finance and consulting

[gloomy galleon]

do clubs actually help for grad school at all

[bitter carbon]

greek life is so prevalent

[gloomy galleon]

like i thought its just for fun

[bitter carbon]

depends what kind of grad schoool

[gloomy galleon]

im going for physics phd

[bitter carbon]

no a lot of extracurriculars here are good for your future career/grad school

im sure some clubs here can help u for phd

[gloomy galleon]

huh

interesting

[covert shoal]

ya but you have so many options outside of the dining halls tho right?

[bitter carbon]

https://pennclubs.com

[bitter carbon]

ya decently

[covert shoal]

not every club requires an app or interview, only preprofessional ones right?

[bitter carbon]

i mean some other clubs require app and interview

but theres def some cool ones you can get involved in without applying

like the penn outdoors club or the board game

club

[covert shoal]

I was looking at the website and you can filter it to see which dont require apps or interviews and there was still a huge number of clubs

[gloomy galleon]

ngl some of these clubs look sick

[covert shoal]

Fr

even some of the preprofessional ones didnt seem that hard to get into like the neuro one

and some psych ones or mental health ones, which helps me cuz im a psych major

I think there are still a lot of ways to get around these issues relatively easily

[bitter carbon]

there are some coool ass ones

also guys im mostly kidding

penn is such a perfect place for me

[urban charm]

Is penn removing legacy?

I heard they are

[bitter carbon]

and i cannot be more excited for you guys!!!

ya

[urban charm]

:((

[bitter carbon]

idc

fuck them kids

[covert shoal]

Yah its just that I kept hearing this when I first got in and it made me scared to go to Penn for a solid few weeks

[bitter carbon]

theres too many stuck up new yorkers anyways

[urban charm]

Thats gonna be our kids ⁉️⁉️

I gotta go marry a harvard baddie now 😞

[covert shoal]

[covert shoal]

[covert shoal]

so now its 8 days

I have 2 left and I want to keep one for senior skip day

[gloomy galleon]

[urban charm]

Even after 18 tho they vice principle will usually let u slide by excusing absences

WHAT

5 at my school is a detention

I just got one for tmrw

[gloomy galleon]

damn

yeah no we have a morning meeting thing that happens before classes and technically school starts then

[urban charm]

Not even a real detention either

[gloomy galleon]

I just didn’t show up half the time

[urban charm]

Doesnt go on my record

I can do whatever i want

[gloomy galleon]

ok that’s good

what if you just don’t show up

[urban charm]

I just have to sit in the cafeteria for an hour after school

[urban charm]

Then i think it turns into a suspension which goes on my record

[gloomy galleon]

that’s dumb as shit

they stopped my tardy streak this year at like 40 by saying I couldn’t participate in theatre unless I was on time

[urban charm]

It is

Admin hates giving it too

Idk why they have to

[gloomy galleon]

😭

we don’t even have detention

we have a student run conduct review board

[bitter carbon]

omg

text me if u visit and u wanna get coffee or something

[urban charm]

Wtf is that

[gloomy galleon]

they basically grill students that do something wrong and give them some arbitrary punishment or more often than not just tell them to apologize to whoever they wronged and let them off

[gloomy galleon]

[low yacht]

HHUFSDUFHDSHFSDFDHSFSDFUSDFUDSUFHDFS

[clever palm]

Do they send this email to everyone?

"As the admissions officer who represents your high school, I had the pleasure of being one of the people who read your application and I believe your unique perspective will bring so much to our campus.

Your gratitude essay was perhaps one of my favorite I read this year - I was so touched by your note to your sister. From doing groundbreaking [redacted] research to making connections through FIRST, I'm excited to see all that you accomplish here at Penn. I have no doubt you'll be able to pursue your dreams, and inspire others along the way."

wait idk why I redacted that lol

I’m not even gonna go to Penn

oh well

[digital forum]

Yeah it's a personalized note everyone gets one

Mine was about my essays too

[digital forum]

Where are you going

[urban charm]

[clever palm]

Meh

[urban charm]

Astaghfirullah, lying during Ramadan?

[clever palm]

Never

[marble mantle]

Does Penn have a discord for admitted students?

[gloomy galleon]

Does penn send anything

Like an acceptance package

[feral hornet]

i think ppl have said they do

but it’s small ish

their admitted student visit package is pretty cool tho. you get a bag, stickers, notebooks, and a pen

[low yacht]

yes small tho

some stickers, buttons i think, a pennant, and a letter + case

[gloomy galleon]

thats cool

[median tree]

kayak wat were ur awards in hs

[low yacht]

National merit semi finalist
Various debate awards
Various model UN awards
(Not technically award but I listed) first at school to have a winning record at a national debate tournament
Best delegate at an intl mun conference

[median tree]

Thanks

[median tree]

Would a grant for research be in the awards section?

[low yacht]

idk if its a formal award but go for it

[urban charm]

Cracked kayak

[urban charm]

Also dont compare ur application to someone else’s. Even if u did the same ecs and got the same awards as kayak you could be rejected

[median tree]

Yeah for sure but I wanted to know so I could see what I should put in my section

[median tree]

If it’s from an organization u think that’s ok?

[low yacht]

ya

[urban charm]

Oh aight, just keep in mind what they want to see from you to accept u is different compared to kayak

Or me

Or anyone

[median tree]

For sure may you share what you put down in the section?

(and what college in youu got into please :D)

[urban charm]

Well i got into upenn with my awards being: nhs, high honor roll, a random award for URochester, Ap Scholar, and cant remember the last one

[median tree]

yeah I’m in the same boat I didn’t really do many competitions or stuff like that but I have good ECs since most of the activities I do are stuff like internships work studies & research

[urban charm]

What i did was look at lots, and lots of college results posts on r/collegeresults and videos on youtube in order to get kind of an understanding of how the process worked, then i was able to figure out how to structure my application based on my own background

[median tree]

Could you share some tips or suggestions, or the process you went through while structuring? If it’s a lengthy explanation don’t worry about it

[urban charm]

Uhhh yea ifs definitely a very large topic

Im abt to head to bed

But

Add me on disc and dm me tmrw

[median tree]

For sure thank you

[urban charm]

Ill give a more thought out and helpful response than
