University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) (2023-2024)

[faint badger]

ya

[bold onyx]

it is

[copper notch]

ohh im sorry

i applied to emory's too lol

does peep help w/admissions or is it just the ppl they admit

[frigid seal]

Flyins usually give u a boost

[bold onyx]

yea they walk u thru all parts of applying

and a veryyyy high number of peep kids get in

[tacit ice]

ik this is so far off but im still deciding if i would choose amherst over upenn bcuz the fly ins are on the same day

[bold onyx]

for pif?

[tacit ice]

yh pif and a2a are both on sept 30

[bold onyx]

pif better trust

[copper notch]

do pif

unless you like LAC's

[tacit ice]

i doubt id get into both anyways 😭

[copper notch]

u never know but penn's fly in boost is big i think

[tacit ice]

yh ok makes sense

[copper notch]

amherst too but.....it depends on what school u like more/would go to over

[tacit ice]

alr thanks

[rotund drift]

upenn has a fly in program?

[burnt osprey]

Yes PIF

Due tonight

You need to live within 150 miles of campus though

[rotund drift]

thats not fly in

u have to pay for transportation

[burnt osprey]

Oh damn lmao missed that

Then no

Penn has none

[opaque pilot]

consider it like this

[bold onyx]

basically a pre screen

[opaque pilot]

peep in itself is multiple workshops to make ur application better

[bold onyx]

and yea ^

[opaque pilot]

if upenn is telling u what they want on ur application...

theyre basically handing u a key to what they want out of applicants

[bold onyx]

so theres no technical peep boost, but it boosts u in other ways

[opaque pilot]

yep

that and like emre said

[bold onyx]

and if u get into peep that makes ur a very competitive applicant

like this kid

[opaque pilot]

the kids that get into PEEP are already very competitive applicants

yeah

[bold onyx]

hes a nerd

[opaque pilot]

.

[rotund drift]

Yeah

Don’t understand why they made the app so early

Didn’t have time to apply

[bold onyx]

because its for all the sweats

like ryan

[rotund drift]

Did u do peep

[bold onyx]

no

i am not a sweat

i didnt even THINK about college until october senior year

[opaque pilot]

should i submit my app early

for interview

[bold onyx]

yes

[opaque pilot]

or does submitting early not help with it

ok bet

[bold onyx]

like maybe a week or two early

[opaque pilot]

ic

[bold onyx]

not like a month

[opaque pilot]

so like october 15 ?

[bold onyx]

yea

maybe even early october if u dont wanna make anymore changes

when does peep end?

[opaque pilot]

1st week of sept

[bold onyx]

damn bruh

when does it start?

[opaque pilot]

next wk

can i just reuse the essay

the peep/pif prompt is the same as the first prompt for apps

[bold onyx]

I mean if it worked already…

[surreal cradle]

[bold onyx]

torn muscle + broken finger right after recovering was brutal combo

[opaque pilot]

ic

how day happen doe

[bold onyx]

ya i started lifting again a couple weeks ago

i have a bengign? begningn? bone tumor like right above me knee and when i was playing vball i somehow tore the muscle right above it

so my lower quad

[opaque pilot]

I see

so it was collision between the tumor and muscle

[bold onyx]

then after like 10 weeks i healed and played a game of vball then broke my finger on a block the next day at practice 😭

[bold onyx]

ye

so no legs days for now

[opaque pilot]

actually unfortunate

[bold onyx]

[opaque pilot]

ik penn has intramural vb

[bold onyx]

[opaque pilot]

[rustic drum]

Lmao

[opaque pilot]

ur not calling me that

[bold onyx]

[opaque pilot]

someone else will be my big

[bold onyx]

idk if i will join a frat too

[opaque pilot]

business frats imo r helpful

not social

social r helpful but it is a lot of work

[rustic drum]

How many of y'all are applying to M&T??

[frigid seal]

Bros safety is wharton love the confidence bro

[faint badger]

[faint badger]

i am but i dont have high hopes

[finite cloak]

lowkey the only place emre could get placement

[bold onyx]

yea have a fun time being an analyst for the rest of ur life at my pe firm

[rustic drum]

Oo nice!! Gl with that!!!

And remember to also choose a single major too as second choice in case you do not get it

(I didn't and it was a really dumb decision)

[faint badger]

Oh yeah I'm also EDing to Wharton for the second choice

[rustic drum]

Even I had EDed for M&T

May the odds ever be in your favour!

[faint badger]

Thank you!

[rustic drum]

https://tenor.com/view/good-luck-good-luck-gif-20034388

[finite cloak]

shut up

i’m a quant analyst

[opaque pilot]

i wish im just confident

if u dont believe in it u wont ever have a shot 💯

[faint badger]

me fr

[zenith oasis]

So many Penn EDs for Wharton💀

[frigid seal]

The reason why I'm not applying ed lmao

[zenith oasis]

Unnecessarily competitive fr

[copper notch]

ooh did u get into peep

[opaque pilot]

😎

[copper notch]

my twin got in lol

[opaque pilot]

fr? that’s pretty sick

[ember bolt]

so im applying to villanova and if i get in imma just sneak into penn and pretend i go there instead 😈

[burnt osprey]

It’s pretty easy to do that lmao

[ember bolt]

honestly im so tempted

like whos gonna stop me

[frigid seal]

No one but u won't get a penn degree

[frigid seal]

That heavily improves your odds right? I think u got it in the bag

[burnt osprey]

I do it at Columbia sometimes it’s fun

[sudden hemlock]

Michael Reeves did that with Harvard

[clever elm]

Anyone has a guide on the supplemental essays ?

[burnt osprey]

College essay guy’s guide was useful to me at least

https://www.collegeessayguy.com/blog/upenn-university-pennsylvania-supplemental-essay

[clever elm]

THANK YOU

[rotund drift]

thanks

was confused on the the 2 essays cause i thought they were both "why us"

[faint badger]

r u applying to wharton?

[rotund drift]

yes

[faint badger]

Wharton prepares its students to make an impact by applying business methods and economic theory to real-world problems, including economic, political, and social issues.  Please reflect on a current issue of importance to you and share how you hope a Wharton education would help you to explore it.  (150-200 words)

They just want you to talk about what issues you're obsessed with and what motivates you

and how Wharton will help you solve/explore it

[rotund drift]

yeah

[faint badger]

it's a way better prompt now

[rotund drift]

that part is like a "why us" in academics

the other is a "why us" in community like clubs

[faint badger]

exactly

it's nice

penn has the most straightforward prompts i'd say

[quick sonnet]

woah they're making wharton applicants consider social issues

[rotund drift]

yeah kinda

[quick sonnet]

thats crazy

mostly joking

[rotund drift]

cause ive been writing "why us" essays with community and academics together for other schools

[faint badger]

i'm so excited to write it because i have the perfect idea

[rotund drift]

upenn splits them

[quick sonnet]

btw i recommend trying to see what rsrch happens at wharton and the programs that do intersectional stuff

and mentioning it in ur essays

v appealing

[rotund drift]

ok

[faint badger]

do you mean dual degree by intersectional stuff?

[quick sonnet]

this is more abt like if you were to participate in rsrch or engage with profs where would you look

there exist plenty of wharton collab seas or cas stuff

thats p cool

[sudden hemlock]

question so I got officially diagnosed autistic yesterday is it a good idea to mention it in an essay or is that a little taboo

[faint badger]

what r u majoring in

[quick sonnet]

im cs econ

[rotund drift]

u go to upenn?

[faint badger]

niceee

[quick sonnet]

yeah im a senior now

[quick sonnet]

#📝-essays ?

iirc you are protected by ada if you are worried abt rejection cause

[sudden hemlock]

yeah true but specifically UPenn are they good with it

[quick sonnet]

but i would mention your diagnosis in context of accomdations

[sudden hemlock]

ok thanks

:))

[quick sonnet]

this is specifically if there's a question abt it

Aos can be mean and weaponize stuff

so its 50 50 for me

[faint badger]

now what does this mean LOL

[quick sonnet]

o i mean that if you mention disability without positive meaning behind it, i can see how it can be taken as negative by aos

esp bc autisim has a lot of p bad stigma

but if you were to say penn as a good fit bc of the services that may be of use to you, then it is worth mentioning

[sudden hemlock]

OH didn't think of that

lemme look them up

[burnt osprey]

Tbh imo I wouldn’t disclose being autistic

[faint badger]

i dont think they have amazing services for that

[burnt osprey]

You can get your accommodations after you get in

[burnt osprey]

I’m tryna get like u orz

[quick sonnet]

oho?

wouldnt rec econ but cs is p cool

cas

[burnt osprey]

Ur even cooler

Wow

[quick sonnet]

ye

[opaque pilot]

were u accepted into seas or cas initially

[burnt osprey]

How is juggling the diff reqs between cas and seas

[quick sonnet]

tbh i would be seas transfer but i already finished half of my econ degree so sunk cost

uhhhh there's no overlap

it sucks

[burnt osprey]

:(

[opaque pilot]

dam

[quick sonnet]

esp with econ cis

no reqs mingle

[burnt osprey]

My counselor mentioned I could get a BA in cis without taking the seas reqs

I am considering it ngl

[opaque pilot]

whats ur cas major kayak

[quick sonnet]

its basically the same imo

[burnt osprey]

Undecided officially

[quick sonnet]

as long as you take 121 and 320

[burnt osprey]

Right now it’s cogsci

[opaque pilot]

ic

[burnt osprey]

I’m actually decently close to finishing it

[quick sonnet]

are you compu concentration

[burnt osprey]

I could get my cogsci requirements done prob by the end of soph year or first sem junior year

[burnt osprey]

I’m still deciding ngl

[sudden hemlock]

bro why is the upenn chat popping compared to everywhere else

[burnt osprey]

I find linguistics very interesting but I feel like I’d benefit more from computation courses

[quick sonnet]

oo ling

ling is cool

[burnt osprey]

Disproportionate amount of active UPenn students

[quick sonnet]

me not language good enough for ling

[burnt osprey]

I love it

[sudden hemlock]

ok true

[burnt osprey]

Me neither I’m monolingual lmao

But I love learning about it it’s very swag

[quick sonnet]

it is v swag

i wish i had more space in my schedule for it lol

[burnt osprey]

I’m worried I’m gonna get fucked over by junior or senior year like I’m not doing a great job of tackling gen Ed’s

[quick sonnet]

ahh well i think you'll be ok

[bold onyx]

cant u just double major with the cs in cas?

[quick sonnet]

ye

[burnt osprey]

Why did u choose to dual degree I curious

[quick sonnet]

masochism

[opaque pilot]

.

[burnt osprey]

U are crazy

Pog champ

[quick sonnet]

tbh idek if i have everything lined up for graduation atm

since cas reqs are such a pain

my brain is like

if i dont have graduation space

[burnt osprey]

What gen Ed’s r u missing

[quick sonnet]

ill ask my cis advisor to hit me with the cs double major

uhh good q i think its a course code problem

since i have a lot of double counts

but for some reason cas is a lil stupid place and doesnt want to count things bc i registered under a diff course code

[burnt osprey]

Bruh wtf

That’s the dumbest thing

[quick sonnet]

ikr

its like how intro to cog sci is considered like multiple reqs but for some reason the cis140 code fucks with everything

its whatever

i dont need an engineering degree

[burnt osprey]

:(

[ember bolt]

i mean yeah i know that 😭

[zenith oasis]

I hate it so much fr😂

[rotund drift]

Just wrote a beautiful thank you note for my brother that I’m not planning to let him see

[faint badger]

Same but I let my sister read it

[zenith oasis]

This is so real😂

[rotund drift]

How old is ur sister

[frigid seal]

im struggling on who to write it for bc i dont wanna do my family or teachers i feel its a little too basic

but idk

[rotund drift]

At first I thought of my teacher bc she wrote a letter of rec

But it wasn’t personal or anything

The note I wrote to my brother can make a grown man cry

[frigid seal]

did u reflect on the experience

for the last sentence

[rotund drift]

Yes

[frigid seal]

blud didnt even show his brother the note tho

[rotund drift]

I have a specific scenario

Nah

He’s 15

Immature af

[frigid seal]

im writing my note to my glorious king lebron

my snookie pookums

[rotund drift]

Yooooo

[frigid seal]

my light of day

i guarantee someones gonna do some wack shit like that

to someone who theyve never met

[rotund drift]

Someone’s gonna write a note to a celebrity

[frigid seal]

fr thats lame

im prob doing a mentor

[faint badger]

11

[rotund drift]

Nice

[faint badger]

mentor's good

[rotund drift]

I would show the note too if my sibling was younger

[faint badger]

i did sister because i can write beautifully if its real emotion

[rotund drift]

Same

[faint badger]

i feel like they aren't looking for uniqueness j real gratitude

[rotund drift]

True

[rotund drift]

Did u write the note like a letter format

[faint badger]

started it with To my dear sister

[rotund drift]

Nice

That’s mine

[faint badger]

See im wavering between serious, loving, emotional tone or funny, silly, but still caring

[zenith oasis]

Damn🥹

[frigid seal]

To my glorious sweet cheeks pookie bear lover,

The day you won that ring with cleveland cemented your legacy as the one and only king

[faint badger]

I finished like 3/5 supps for Penn im so happy

[frigid seal]

there may be a whole royal lineage in the UK but the real ones know that youre the only true king

thats my intro

rate out of 10

[faint badger]

1000/10

[frigid seal]

this is my closing

All fathers hope to leave a legacy and you have truly succeeded through the elder prince, his highness Bronny James. He will play with you in the NBA and the royal James family will continue to reign. Thank you for the impact you have made on my life my dear sweetie cutie pie.

Love, KVD

yall think upenn finna accept me?

[faint badger]

valid

auto accept

[rotund drift]

there's only 3 tho

[faint badger]

i'm also applying to M&T so there's 2 for that

[frigid seal]

should i apply to huntsman

would i still have a chance at wharton if i dont make huntsman

[faint badger]

i think very low if ur doing all this RD

i'm doing ED to M&T and ED to Wharton

[frigid seal]

ur EDing both?

ok ill prob j apply to regular wharton

idc about huntsman too much

[faint badger]

yeah they'll look at me for m&t ed and if i dont cut it, they'll look for wharton ed.

honestly if they think im a good applicant, im gonna get rejected from m&t and in to wharton since i'll still be going to the school no matter what

hoping for that!

[frigid seal]

im ngl i feel like penn isnt the best fit for me anymore..

but its wharton so

and im typing this wearing a upenn college tshirt lmao

i gotta apply for my old self fr

[faint badger]

wym

[frigid seal]

like its pretty toxic culture and elitist mentality from many wharton students

also its northeast area quite cold

ive lived in south for 10+ years

[burnt osprey]

if ur dreaming of entering the business world im not sure the toxic culture is limited to just penn

[bold onyx]

^

[burnt osprey]

might be the nycer in me talking but just get a coat, it's not that bad. didnt even snow last year

[bold onyx]

whartons not toxic bc its wharton

[frigid seal]

i understand lmao but ive talked to many different students and visited many campuses

so its kinda just a vibe

[bold onyx]

its finance/business as a field

[burnt osprey]

valid, fit matters

[frigid seal]

its still one of my top choices

[burnt osprey]

if you dont think whartons a good fit theres always CAS econ ;)

[frigid seal]

just not THE top choice anymore

i thrive in the heat

i need LA

i want to go to usc

[faint badger]

good introspection

oh i cant do heat

i literally sizzle in the heat

[frigid seal]

blud lives in texas tf

[faint badger]

IK

[burnt osprey]

good news is you burn alive in the spring/summer

[bold onyx]

usc for finance…

[frigid seal]

my shoulder to hand tanline is insane

[frigid seal]

no wbb

finance for upenn

[faint badger]

did u ed to penn or

[bold onyx]

rd

[frigid seal]

i visited last summer and got into their finance summer program for this summer but didnt wanna waste money

those arent even that competitive tbh

so its not rlly indicative of anything

[bold onyx]

not good news ☹️

[frigid seal]

i also got into economics for leaders which is also not super prestigious

plus it costs money so i didnt go

[faint badger]

as long as its sub 90 degrees im good

[frigid seal]

i think penn is top 5 campuses i visited so far

[burnt osprey]

thats the northeast for you

[frigid seal]

its 6 pm for me and 105 degrees

[burnt osprey]

i sweat off my makeup today and i was hanging around nyu

[frigid seal]

:)

[faint badger]

i went to penn for the past 3 summers and its not bad

[frigid seal]

bro wtf

[burnt osprey]

3 summers??

bro

[faint badger]

not for programs LOL

[burnt osprey]

youve been at penn as long as i havge cumulatively atp

[bold onyx]

i live in massachusetts and its so hot today

[frigid seal]

GO PATS

i was born in boston

[faint badger]

my dad did work w one of the profs and he takes me to visit

[frigid seal]

u dont seem like much of an nfl fan tho

not the vibe rlly

[bold onyx]

no

[burnt osprey]

ah

[bold onyx]

lmao

[burnt osprey]

my middle school boyfriend's dad is an econ prof at columbia so i visit sometimes to chat w bro

[bold onyx]

only sport i watch is volleyball, a lil basketball sometimes

[frigid seal]

shi we know why u watch volleyball

u not slick emre

[bold onyx]

☹️

i play volleyball

i dont watch womens vb its not as cool without the huge spikes/blocks

[faint badger]

he watches mens vb

[frigid seal]

im j joking lol

@faint badger why do u go to upenn every summer lmao

[faint badger]

my dad went and we usually go to northeast every summer so we stop by for a day

[frigid seal]

fuck me im competing with legacy mfs

ur basically in bro

god damn

the only legacy i have is at some random unis in india

[faint badger]

thats where my parents went for undergrad, but my dad got another mba at wharton

so clutch for me

i think they reduced the amt it impacts ur app tho

[rotund drift]

i dont even got a legacy 😭

[frigid seal]

first gen?

[rotund drift]

yes

[frigid seal]

im technically first gen for penn

for other schools im not which is stupid bc my parents didnt even go through the process

[faint badger]

same under their definition LOL

[frigid seal]

thats so weird lmao

cuz mba isnt a 4 year college

[faint badger]

ikr such a loophole

[frigid seal]

and they didnt do 4 yr in the us

[faint badger]

exactly

also the not in the us shit is so weird

like why does it matter

[frigid seal]

because first gen help is to help those whose parents never went through the process so they often have less info about it

so some schools do outside the US

some do students family that have never gone to college

[faint badger]

ah ah makes sense

[frigid seal]

ucla has the same def as penn

but uc berkeley doesnt

its quite inconsistent

[faint badger]

wtf

its the same system

[frigid seal]

yea its weird

it might be old tho

idk i saw it a few weeks ago

most schools im not first gen

only a couple

[faint badger]

yeah

use what u have to ur advantage

i think everything for me is tying up nicely and im rlly happy ab it

[rotund drift]

i was gonna be instate for nyu and uva but i've only lived there 7-8 months each 😔

they require 1 year

[hybrid skiff]

Upenn is cutting down on legacies

[frigid seal]

nyu is priv tho? thought it dont matter

[hybrid skiff]

Do they count mba for legacy though?

[frigid seal]

they do

[rotund drift]

yeah true plus they give good aid

[hybrid skiff]

Uva doesn’t have a preference for in staters anyways supposedly

[frigid seal]

no they dont lmao

nyu has trash aid

and its hella expensive

[rotund drift]

fr?

[hybrid skiff]

Yeah

[rotund drift]

its a private and give trash aid

[faint badger]

yeah exactly

my app is strong enough wo it

[burnt osprey]

historically yeah

[opaque pilot]

Very true

High finance is cutthroat

More cutthroat than Wharton

Wharton is just a step in the door

[burnt osprey]

funnie seeing high schoolers talk like thus

[ember bolt]

bro im not excited for this thank you note supplement

[burnt osprey]

im curioius who my brother will thank

[frigid seal]

is he a senior?

[burnt osprey]

yes applying this cycle

[frigid seal]

does sibling legacy at penn help

[burnt osprey]

no not officially

[faint badger]

probably u

[ember bolt]

i have absolutely no idea who to thank 😭😭😭

[bold onyx]

thank me

thank your imaginary best friend from when u were a little kid

thank your lunch lady from last year

[ember bolt]

i was this close to thanking the girl i had my first crush on but thats corny asl

[rustic drum]

Don't

[desert coral]

Oh interesting

What would you have said

Reminder guys you don’t need to thank a person!!

I thought you did but when I was accepted and went to one of the Quaker days they mentioned the thank you prompt and said a lot of incoming students went unique with that and didn’t thank people which they liked

[desert coral]

Omg

Hill isn’t THAT bad

But it’s not good

I mean sanitary issues are a different story tho

[desert coral]

Thank your AO for accepting you

Manifest

[desert coral]

True networking

[ember bolt]

idk my sexuality is the main focus of my caps so i wouldve tried to tie that into there

[desert coral]

What’s caps

[burnt osprey]

I assume common app personal statement

It’s a cute but annoying acronym

[desert coral]

Oh ok

[burnt osprey]

Just call it your PS

[desert coral]

If you think it’s very important then you can talk abt it but my personal opinion is don’t talk abt the same thing more than once

But if you talk abt it in a different way then it can make a good essay!

Only reason I say that is because you have very limited space to share abt yourself and your life so you want them to know as much as possible since the process is holistic

I do think the essay idea is interesting though!

My thank you note was so cheesy lmao

I think my entire app was cheesy af looking back

[burnt osprey]

My Penn essays are some of my least favorite

I did my supps by school name alphabetical order and very much rushed them

[faint badger]

what are people thanking tf

their pet rock?!?!

[desert coral]

Somebody thanked their pets for example

Or a deceased relative

Maybe they thanked an object that had sentimental value or that they carried throughout all their life? Idk

But you have freedom to get creative with it if you want

Just show as much abt your life and qualities and values as you can

Don’t do something for the sake of being quirky or creative

[faint badger]

It says to someone which means a person

[faint badger]

Fs i dont do that

[desert coral]

Whitney Soule said it’s fine if you don’t 🤷🏻‍♀️

[faint badger]

Weird I’m probably going to stick with my sister though lol

[desert coral]

Whitney Soule dean of admissions > your sister

But you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to

It’s just a suggestion for people that might want to do that but feel like they can’t

Because the truth is you can! Even though it might be more challenging, it’s your app, so if you feel it would provide more context to your life story and add more then by all means go for it! Just make sure to write it well

I’m pretty sure I read that the idea for the prompt came from a professor and the idea is about not taking things for granted, a bit of positive psychology. If you’re following that ideology then what’s the harm

[faint badger]

I meant I was writing the letter to my sister... Ik who Whitney SOule is

[desert coral]

Ohh

[burnt osprey]

I feel kinda bad for Whitney Doyle

[desert coral]

I mean I never said u don’t know who Whitney Soule is but writing to your sister is a great idea! I did that too

[burnt osprey]

The daily Pennsylvanian Instagram constantly gets hate comments from an account dedicated to hating her

[desert coral]

That exists ??

Is it at least funny stuff or is it like aggressive stuff

[bold onyx]

we need legacy back

#makepenngreatagain

[desert coral]

https://tenor.com/view/garbage-take-gif-18387283

[bold onyx]

i need my children to have guaranteed acceptance

[desert coral]

Legacy doesn’t even mean guaranteed

It just means boost

If your kids can’t get in without legacy do not send them here

[bold onyx]

whyyyy

[desert coral]

Because they’re poopoo

[bold onyx]

every college needs to have dumb people

[desert coral]

😭 you’re meeting their requirement so it’s ok

[bold onyx]

exactly and my kids will too!

[desert coral]

I love that for you

Unfortunately no

https://tenor.com/view/red-alert2-wooden-nickel-wood-nickel-legacy-gif-23689247

[bold onyx]

[desert coral]

Idk I’m not a politician

[bold onyx]

[desert coral]

You’re the one who asked dumbass

Smh my head my head

[frigid seal]

a2c struggles

[bold onyx]

[hazy reef]

bro that was my reach

like that 1% acceptance rate tho

[faint badger]

i dmed u 😮

[bold onyx]

welcome to my dominion

[desert coral]

Do you want a woman who loves you or your money

[desert coral]

Wtf is that

[gaunt scarab]

my money so i can be on the grind and not slack off

[desert coral]

But if your woman loved you for you they wouldn’t cause you to slack off?

[gaunt scarab]

no cause having an expensive girl means she requires atleast 10k a month and the only way i will be able to afford is if i make 30k a month. Thus i will have to work so hard that i will need to make 30k a month

[desert coral]

Or you can have a woman who doesn’t love you just for your money but you still work hard to get her gifts to show your love and appreciation!

[gaunt scarab]

thats not very finance bro quant goldman sachs jp morgan of me

[desert coral]

That’s your first mistake

Associating yourself with those groups

Just another Penn sheep

Ending up in business like the rest of them

No originality

Not special

Just another victim of the Penn Plague

Rip

[frigid seal]

ok but you love all upenn prompts

if upenn asked you to write a prompt on explaining why you shouldnt get in u would prob still like that

smh upenn bias

[frigid seal]

i will gladly become a victim if im making bank out of college 🤑

[desert coral]

But there’s other ways to make bank without selling your soul to the business overlords !!

[desert coral]

They asked me this in the interview with Penn

Not exactly but they said

“What are your worst qualities?”

[frigid seal]

everybody asks that lol

my interview at a customer service job asked that

[desert coral]

No

Your interviewer may ask different questions

Cuz my friends didn’t get that question

[frigid seal]

ik i meant like in nearly all interviews there is a similar question

ive heard it in almost if not all interviews ive had

[desert coral]

I never had a job interview before 🤷🏻‍♀️

[frigid seal]

ive had a couple for job and internship stuff

[desert coral]

I’ve never had a real job interview and I’ve never had an internship

Lots of FGLI kids didn’t cuz no access

[frigid seal]

none of mine were given to me either

[desert coral]

Hard to get to a job or an internship or even a club with no car

[desert coral]

Not what I’m saying

[frigid seal]

yea i feel u

im saying i walk to work

and my internships are online

[desert coral]

Here you can’t 💀

Rural area = barely any opportunities, no sidewalks, everything far away. We have the grocery store and McDonald’s but you need a car cuz they’re not close by

And I spent a lot of time taking care of my mother

[frigid seal]

oh i c

[desert coral]

Cuz she got into a car accident and had two surgeries

[frigid seal]

im sorry

you clearly did great on your interviews tho!

[desert coral]

Oh LMAO

no my interviewer found out I got in after and emailed me basically saying she was surprised to see me get in

She was homophobic af tho

She said she doesn’t understand how teens can be gay

And went on an entire rant abt that

And she shit on the American education system

She’s British

[ember bolt]

HELP WHAT?? thats actually insane

[desert coral]

💀 it was passive aggressively

[frigid seal]

wat the fuck

thats just mean bro

[frigid seal]

wasnt she an alumni

da fook

[desert coral]

A really old one

[frigid seal]

weird ahh

[desert coral]

Class of 1960 something I don’t remember

[frigid seal]

LMFAO

OLD FART

[desert coral]

1970 maybe

She was questionable I should have reported her

After I said I was bi and that I come from a very religious household and how I struggled with my identity for a very long time she went on a rant about how teenagers don’t actually know they’re gay in high school and that’s something you find out in college and most kids are just confused

Like bruh

Stop

Okay guys if you get a Kimberly Hirschman as your interviewer I’m sorry for you

This lady but she looks older now

[frigid seal]

shes a baddie

[frigid seal]

what did. u say as ur weakness

[desert coral]

I don’t remember something stupid

[desert coral]

No these are baddies

[frigid seal]

the lady on left looks like someone from this movie i seen

[desert coral]

Crazy rich asians?

[frigid seal]

no

i dont remember the name

i want my interviewer to be young and lax

so they can understand me

[desert coral]

Ik who u r talking abt but I can’t remember the name either

[desert coral]

Fr

[frigid seal]

@desert coral what other schools did u choose between

or were u ed penn

[desert coral]

I want to be an interviewer

[desert coral]

I applied to multiple but I matched to 1 because qb match

That’s just how the process works

So idk if the ones lower on my list accepted me or not

[frigid seal]

gotcha

what rank was penn

for u

[desert coral]

I applied to brown, Yale, Penn, Columbia, Northwestern, Duke, Swarthmore, Tufts, Amherst

I think

[desert coral]

I think 3?

3 or 4

Makes sense my essays fucking SUCKED for Brown and Yale because I didn’t care anymore

Thank god I didn’t go to Yale looking back

I wouldn’t have liked it as much

But I’ll forever love brown ❤️🤭

[frigid seal]

oh brown was ur #1

questbrige ed is rlly competitive

dang ur cracked

[desert coral]

I’m just lucky I think

Idk

I don’t feel cracked

But prob just imposter syndrome

[burnt osprey]

Real

[faint badger]

this is actually crazy

wow

i guess u gotta vet ur interviewer

[burnt osprey]

Ngl you should report your interviewer

Like actually

She should not be interviewing

She’s doing Penn a disservice by making people uncomfortable lmao

[desert coral]

Idk who to contact or if it’s too late

[burnt osprey]

Prob not too late, you could probably email or call the admissions office and if they’re not the right place they’d redirect you

[desert coral]

On a lighter note what do you recommend

[burnt osprey]

I love the popping bubbles

I remember liking the lychee and strawberry

[desert coral]

Why is there jelly in smoothies

Idk what that really means

[burnt osprey]

It’s like

Instead of the bubbles

There’s chunks of lychee jelly

[desert coral]

Oh interesting

I had boba once and the pearls were chewy and bitter

[burnt osprey]

Like kinda like this sometimes

[desert coral]

Fresh avocado smoothie sounds like a psychopath order

[faint badger]

what the fuck

helll no

[frigid seal]

How do u know

[burnt osprey]

AOs don’t typically do the interviews

It’s almost always alumni

[frigid seal]

Almost every college results post I see the person rates the upenn interview 1/10

For some reason penn just chooses the worst ppl

[burnt osprey]

Tbh I loved my interviewer

She was really cool and had funny stories

She told me about how she had a crush on a guy in Penn Masala

my theory is that since Penn tries to match its interviewers by major, and most A2C/Chance me people are Wharton folks, they just get the bitchiest business people

[frigid seal]

I agree

Lmao

But it's not just biz kids

With these experiences

Penn alumni suck

Can u be my interviewer 🥺

[burnt osprey]

In 3 years maybe

[desert coral]

Tea do so good

I got something called the hulk

[desert coral]

Do you have to graduate

[burnt osprey]

Yep

[desert coral]

Lameee

[rotund drift]

done with supps

had to use chatgpt to help me look for a social issue

[faint badger]

yeah ik

[faint badger]

i’ve met him

[faint badger]

LOL whatd it pick

[desert coral]

Do you have any recommendations for an easy course I can take first semester since my math professor said don’t take Rakvi and wait for Rimmer

Now idk what to do with the last open spot

All writing semesters are full, stats overlaps with my classes

[bold onyx]

languab

[desert coral]

I don’t need a language

Cuz speak fluent in another language

I wanted this but overlaps

I have never seen perfect score for instructor before

[woeful pebble]

I picked a teacher like that at my cc and then I realized all the reviews lied and it was closer to a 4 on the work scale 😭

[desert coral]

Sad

[woeful pebble]

i was like bruh who made these reviews

[desert coral]

They trolled you

[woeful pebble]

fr

[desert coral]

If I could just get into my math class all would be good

But alas he has not responded for over a week

I heard his mom is in the hospital and he just flew back to campus

[woeful pebble]

which math class you taking?

[desert coral]

So he has bigger things to worry abt

[desert coral]

Intro calc cuz it’s all I need

So like slightly more than calc ab

[woeful pebble]

oh alright

[desert coral]

I don’t like math so I don’t want to take higher level

And stats overlaps with my classes

[woeful pebble]

Ive always wondered just how much harder a class like calculus might be at a college compared to hs with similar concepts

[desert coral]

This is so sad

It depends on professor

[woeful pebble]

oh

[desert coral]

Mine is rated the lowest I have ever seen for a professor here so I dropped it

Not doing that to myself

Fuck that

[woeful pebble]

how bad was the rating

[desert coral]

0.9/4

I have never seen below a 2 before

I was scared

I’m thinking between a psych minor or psychoanalytic studies minor now

Psych is more convenient cuz overlapping courses

But psychoanalytic studies has cool classes

[woeful pebble]

ouch

hows someone consistently getting below a 1 rating 😭

[desert coral]

She must be evil

[woeful pebble]

I swear some profs/teachers are so evil

[opaque pilot]

if u prove fluent in a language does it skip that req?

[desert coral]

Yes

You test out

[opaque pilot]

[burnt osprey]

Isn’t that the Amazon or is that a rainforest

[opaque pilot]

Amazon is a rainforest

Amazon forest

[burnt osprey]

My parents sayin u wrong

[opaque pilot]

Sundarbans r a mangrove forest

A jungle

[burnt osprey]

I had a learning disability tho so they gave up on it

[opaque pilot]

Ic

[burnt osprey]

They sayin it the biggest mangrove jungle

[opaque pilot]

Yea

I might be wrong

[burnt osprey]

Not the biggest jungle

Dummy

[opaque pilot]

Ok buddy

[burnt osprey]

Cope

[opaque pilot]

I think if u try and preserve other ways that’s the same

Language is just one way

Clothing food how u celebrate

[burnt osprey]

Yeah it’s just sad
