[silver carbon]

a jr at my school committed to penn 🗣️🗣️

[upper zealot]

😭

[frigid seal]

I committed to Penn (they didn't agree to it)

[upper zealot]

mfs be committing before they even apply

[supple granite]

LOL

[upper zealot]

But same we all committing

[bold onyx]

sports

[upper zealot]

Oh yeah true

U can get recruited that early??

[frigid seal]

Athletes can start receiving committable offers from junior year

[bold onyx]

thats when u usually get recruited i think

[frigid seal]

Before then it's just interest

And unofficial recruiting

[tranquil dagger]

[abstract flicker]

Wasn’t fast enough

[gentle girder]

Reminder to not delve into AA discussion unless it’s about American Airlines :)

[astral flicker]

Sister is a flight attendant for American, loves it

[gentle girder]

Good to hear that, although to be honest I don’t appreciate American’s limited presence of transpacific networks - if you have input on this join me at #1097930551744266281

[astral flicker]

I think this is the largest megathread in the server

[hazy merlin]

Did y’all beat Harvard

[strange ember]

does anyone know the answer to this lol

[astral flicker]

17k messages here

Soon to br 18

Harvard doesnt even have 12

Emree was penn ur #1

[bold onyx]

no

i really liked cornell and neu but didn’t really have a #1

[astral flicker]

How is the class load looking?

Also do yall think a 1490 (800m 690w/r) was a mistake to submit to wharton

[rotund drift]

Why neu?

[burnt osprey]

nope

[bold onyx]

one of my friends was there

i liked the campus, programs, food, proximity to home

[bold onyx]

for this sem or next?

[burnt osprey]

Assume nothing

[strange ember]

at the end of my penn interview my interviewer said he'll write me a good letter to penn, but im wondering is this just a mannerism penn interviewers adopt like how ur teacher says they'll write u good recs

[bold onyx]

maybe

maybe not

assume anything that can go wrong will go wrong

[strange ember]

so u dont get disappointed?

[grizzled aspen]

i just reaalized i forgot to explain bad freshman grades in additional info...

it's a little to late

[bold onyx]

did u have counselor explain

[grizzled aspen]

no

[bold onyx]

funny cuz i just talked to an AO abt this today

even if u had explained it likely wouldnt have made a larger difference vs not explaining

[grizzled aspen]

i explained how since i was in online school it affected my EC involvement

idk if they'll look enough to connect the dots

[bold onyx]

that would be good context, but prolly all current applicants were online freshman year cuz of covid no?

[grizzled aspen]

yeah
though my school had the option between in person and online

i also was hella depressed tho and had SH thoughts for 9th and 10th
my friends told me to not say that because i never got medically checked for mental health and they might ask to prove that. looking back tho i don't think they can legally do that

oh well i did my best

[desert coral]

I’m tired

[astral flicker]

Bith

Also how is the “highly accoladed” food

[pearl ice]

Hello my favorite state school

[pearl ice]

[opal silo]

Hi iz

[desert coral]

No

[opal silo]

wtf

[pearl ice]

What kinda iz are you

[opal silo]

serious

[plush umbra]

btw are u involved in it? im realy interested in sports analytics and do a lot of internships and research in it and applying to penn so

[uneven cove]

Can Penn students tell me if the Penn state mixup actually happens

Do people thing Columbia is in South America

[tacit ice]

i think most ppl apply to columbia for the sole reason that its in nyc so prob not

[bold onyx]

if ur talking to randos, sometimes

if ur talking to professionals, never

[uneven cove]

What about like my grandma

Actually she won’t know either

[tender kiln]

not really

i was for a bit theyre a cool club

just don’t have the time unfortunately

[desert coral]

Srs

[desert coral]

Not from people in Philly

[opal silo]

[bold onyx]

my roommate is

i think

[opaque folio]

💀 in school at LEAST 10 people have asked me "oh ur eding? so upenn or penn state"

i gave up saying penn and just ended up saying upenn LMAOO

but i doubt it w professoinals like emre said teehee

[uneven cove]

Become a month

[astral flicker]

We need a tally of who is applying for engineering, nursing, wharton, and arts and sciences

[ember bolt]

im a nursing student 🫡

[uneven cove]

I’m under whatever HSOC would be under

I think that’s arts and sciences

[astral flicker]

I worry that of the probably 8k or so appplicants, 7.9k wharton apps lmao

[spice hearth]

Me too :))

[uneven cove]

Ultimate cool kid

[uneven cove]

What do you want to go into in terms of career

[lean quiver]

nerds

[spice hearth]

I want to become a physician!

[desert coral]

Finished my last chem exam before final

😎👍🏻

[desert coral]

Most apply arts and sciences prob

[opal silo]

https://tenor.com/view/penn-state-football-ncaa-psu-gif-9855416

[desert coral]

Arts and sciences is everything but nursing and business and engineering so ya

I hate that statistics is Wharton

But math is the college

[desert coral]

HSOC premed is so nice, I might switch but neuro makes premed easier

I’m really conflicted

But since my plan B path of epidemiology suits HSOC I should prob do HSOC 🙃

[uneven cove]

I love HSOC

it’s just got so many awesome classes

It has a vector biology class

Like@bro I’m set

[desert coral]

That sounds

So boring

What part of HSOC would you do

Like concentration

[uneven cove]

One sec

@desert coral probably Global Health

[uneven cove]

What does?

[desert coral]

Vector biology

[desert coral]

I think I’d do public health

[uneven cove]

Why?

We may be thinking of different vectors

Do you mean like plasmid?

[desert coral]

My roommate’s friend is majoring in HSOC and said she loves it but some of the stuff gets repetitive once you do higher level classes btw

[uneven cove]

I am talking about Medical Entomology

[desert coral]

I just mean it sounds like heavy biology content

[uneven cove]

I don’t consider Biology boring haha!

[desert coral]

I like biology too, but I don’t want it as extra for my HSOC coursework, I’ll leave that for my premed coursework

Which is why neuro is great for me rn, there’s not much extra classes and premed courses overlap

[uneven cove]

Well, I am not a premed so I guess that’s where we differ

[desert coral]

But HSOC classes are so fun 🙏🏻

[uneven cove]

Real

[desert coral]

And I heard lots of HSOC classes don’t do exams, they do big essays

[uneven cove]

I love how specific the classes look

[uneven cove]

That is SO nice

I hate exams

They are antithetical to my entire learning style as a homeschooler

[desert coral]

Idk I’m taking an HSOC class next semester to see

😎

[uneven cove]

You should tell me how it goes

[desert coral]

Ya Im doing the one everybody has to take

So you would have to take it too

[uneven cove]

Which ones that

[desert coral]

HSOC 0480

[uneven cove]

Class desc sounds awesome

[desert coral]

Yeah idk I’m torn between HSOC and neuro

I’ll figure it out

[uneven cove]

I would see how the required class plays out

You could always minor in HSOC

[desert coral]

I’m already doing two minors

[uneven cove]

Oh wow

I didn’t think UPenn was that flexible

That sounds like a lot of work

[desert coral]

It’s not

Premed and chemistry minor overlap

And I’m doing data science

But I’m doing this version of data science called data science & analytics and it’s specifically tailored to compliment a major in the social sciences or natural sciences for research

https://catalog.upenn.edu/undergraduate/programs/data-science-analytics-minor/

Ended up taking one class in it and loving it a lot

Neuro would make it easier since half of the neuro requirements are premed requirements and the other half could just be psych classes I wanted to take anyway

Then the premed requirements overlap for my major and my minor

Idk I’m no expert

[uneven cove]

Gotcha

This is really interesting sorry for not getting back to you lol

I am looking at the HSOC classes

One of the things they have is Biopiracy

[desert coral]

Wtf is that

[spice hearth]

I want to do bioethics

[uneven cove]

Its basically seems to be like how pharmaceutical companies will take plant based medicines from indigenous cultures in the global south (without asking of course lol) and distribute a certain kind of chemical in it as a drug

An anti malarial drug is an example they provide

[true cliff]

how is tht piracy

[uneven cove]

Something something they’re stealing it something something

Like they don’t have permission

Or something like that

[true cliff]

indigenous people don't have a monopoly on a certain kind of medicine

nor on it's on distribution

[uneven cove]

I don’t know man it’s just what the class called it

[true cliff]

hmm

[uneven cove]

Its like if a certain plant is restricted to a geographic range

A different Nations arms can take it

[desert coral]

Yeah it’s prob just an issue of ethics

Hence the two sides

Idk anything abt biopiracy

[true cliff]

fair enough tbh

sounds like an interesting topic but definitely more academic

[open slate]

[stoic owl]

i had actually never heard of naclo up until like a month ago, and i was planning on going but i found out i had a schedule conflict, but then something happened that made me consider doing naclo instead, so it's up in the air rn

i've done really well on practice problems i think i could do well

[stoic owl]

no just college

[ember bolt]

[astral flicker]

Damn the Airforce?!?!?!

[echo cargo]

I applied ED, crossing my fingers I get in

[lean quiver]

Give me ur essays bud

[hybrid skiff]

is it worth it to send in an application update on the increased visits on one of my sites since submitting or save it in case need to send in LOCI?

[hazy merlin]

❌ I doubt they’d be useful to you anywyas

[strange ember]

its not worth

[lean quiver]

We’re both brown I can figure smth out

😁

Nah my interest are diff it wouldn’t work

[hazy merlin]

😭 you’re not a woman

[lean quiver]

Ok and

This is sexist

[hazy merlin]

💀

You’re racist

[lean quiver]

Who told u that

That wasn’t supposed to be public info

Working on my Penn application rn

Legit falling more and more in love w it

[opal silo]

niice

[hazy merlin]

Yeah I wish my parents would have let me Ed

I feel like I would have had a good shot

[opal silo]

penn > stanny?

[upper zealot]

@bold onyx in ur opinion LBW or M&TSI

[hazy merlin]

100%

Although if I got into both my parents would make me pick Stanford 💀 but I’d pick Penn

[opal silo]

at least you can make penn rd

[upper zealot]

What

Why did it ping Blanco

Oh nvm it’s rijj tu t

Right

[hazy merlin]

Manifesting

[opal silo]

🙏

[ember bolt]

i wanna send an application update with this in it just to make an AO remember me

[bold onyx]

MTSI

but LBW is p good ik a decent amount of people whove done it

[civic cipher]

Shits so expensive lmao

[bold onyx]

its like necessary if u wanna get into m&t tho lol

[civic cipher]

9k to get in 😭

[strange ember]

oh why

[strange ember]

do u have to pay double the normal tuition for m&t?

unrelated to mtsi

[civic cipher]

?

no

idts

why lol

[strange ember]

oo

i was just guessing since its duel degree

[hazy merlin]

Stanford is closer to home

[strange ember]

so u'd pick penn bc it's farther from home?

just curious nothing else

[hazy merlin]

Oh no

My parents would pick Stanford bc it’s closer

[strange ember]

oh i thought u said stanford is closer to home thus u dont like it lmao

what abt penn makes u liek it more

[hazy merlin]

Penn I really liked the school, the flexibility it offers, they have a vet school, their culture seems like one id vibe with, they have a major I really like that Stanford doesn’t have iirc, new experience too being oos, and it just feels like I would learn more life skills being in a city and in an area like Penn

[hazy merlin]

Nah I like Stanford too

Just not as much as Penn

[lean quiver]

what even coutns as flexible

[strange ember]

are u looking into becoming a vet?

or whats ur career path

[hazy merlin]

Cas is pretty flexible + they have a ton of interdisciplinary majors

[hazy merlin]

Vet or doctor I want to decide once I’m in college

I feel like at Stanford it’ll be harder to decide bc fewer vet options

[strange ember]

how do ur parents feel abt u becoming a vet

[hazy merlin]

Stanford does have marine bio opportunities which is awesome though and Penn doesn’t

[strange ember]

at least i know my parents are not very supportive of me doing a non-cs degree lmao

[hazy merlin]

They’d rather me be a doctor

[hybrid skiff]

Vet is cool

[hazy merlin]

Like

A “real doctor”

[strange ember]

i mean i get it

they say it makes money lmao

[hazy merlin]

Agreed! I’d really like to be a marine biology veterinarian

[hazy merlin]

Not that for them

I apparently have a really good personality to be a doc + no docs in the family and they’re traumatized that we don’t have one

[hazy merlin]

Ultimately it’s my choice though and they’ll have to live with it

[strange ember]

oo

so are u applying to the premed track then?

[hazy merlin]

They’ll get over it

[hazy merlin]

I’m planning on being premed and prevet simultaneously for the first two years at least

Hopefully by then I’ll have a better idea which I want to pursue

[strange ember]

how does premed even work - is it a official major?

i have no experience with med stuff lmao

[hazy merlin]

No

It’s a track

You can major in anything just need to hit certain class requirements to apply to med school

[strange ember]

oo

so not official at all i see

what is ur major then?

[hazy merlin]

Depends what you mean by it

[hazy merlin]

I want to double major in biochem/molecular and cellular bio + polisci/public policy

Basically it depends on the school

[strange ember]

cool

good stuff

[bold onyx]

no

i didnt see the double whoops lol

[astral flicker]

@quick sonnet Interesting server nickname, I assume u are a penn student. What makes you say u of pain?\

[burnt osprey]

It’s Penn

Painful

[astral flicker]

Would you mind elaborating?

[burnt osprey]

Sucks here

[astral flicker]

I have been working on my other school's supplimental essays, a sad thing (really wanna go to penn) but its the most likely outcome.

[bold onyx]

she’s mad cuz bad

[astral flicker]

Normally applciants are taken into the context of their high school, but what if I am the only applicant ED from my high school? Will they look at applicants from previous years? Or what about the general region that my AO is assigned to? (nyc suburbs pretty much)

[burnt osprey]

They receive a profile from your counselor of information they need about your high school

Things like course offerings, gpa averages or distributions, past college commitments etc

[astral flicker]

Ive checked it, it has innacurate information 💀
It lists the national say score of the US almost 50 points higher than reality

[burnt osprey]

That’s unfortunate

[astral flicker]

It also includes nothing about demographics, the gpa averags (though it does have a "conversion" which is pointless)

idk

there was 1 qb admit 2 years ago so tehre is that

[tranquil dagger]

does past college commitments count for rd too?

[burnt osprey]

Wdym by count

[tranquil dagger]

like in the school profile

counselor gives

[burnt osprey]

Yeah it’s from the last year usually

It’s commitments not acceptances

[astral flicker]

I genuinly feel my school's profile is insufficent to properly contextualize it

[burnt osprey]

You could bring that issue up w ur counselor

[astral flicker]

They do also have to submit more info through common app though, correct?

[bold onyx]

[burnt osprey]

Possibly

In their letter yeah

[lean quiver]

It’s the Penn nerds

[astral flicker]

I know in there demographics are included

[quick sonnet]

the philly weather

also how gritty and liz magill haunts my dreams

[astral flicker]

Yeah mine really includes no Gpa distribution or diversity (which is a big thing the school loves to point out)

But it is what it is

[astral flicker]

so it is included in the school report that my guidance counselor had submitted

[opaque pilot]

Dam

Ur school pretty smart kayak

1300 SAT and 29 ACT average is really good for averages

wait check dms

[bold onyx]

im home

me so happy

[prime nexus]

Yo did like a billion ppl apply to Penn this year cause I swear a shit ton of ppl ik are EDing here😭😭

[lean quiver]

a lot of people are yeah

[strange ember]

like from ur region?

[prime nexus]

Ya

Tbf I am from the northeast but the amount of ppl applying has increased significantly

At least from my school

[strange ember]

wait im from the northeast too

mind if i dm? we might be...from the same region ur talking abt 💀

[opal silo]

probably because its now the highest ranked ED school

[prime nexus]

ya sure

[prime nexus]

thats so factual

[opal silo]

and its all the most competitive kids doing it too lol

cuz most of them dont give a shit where they go as long as its highly ranked

[prime nexus]

😔

its gg

[sly gust]

Does the admissions committee also read essays for dual-degree programs like M&T, or do they only read the main three essays (letter, contribution, and department)?

[civic cipher]

Huntsman AO said they read everything—well, everything is given to them

yup, they are all included in the same file and will read it all

4.If an applicant applies to a Coordinated-Dual-Degree program but gets deferred to a single-choice college, will the AOs continue to see the full application? As in will the AO’s see the previous questions answered that are exclusive to the CDD program?
We see the full file as it was submitted, even if you are deferred to a single-degree program.

That was one of the questions I asked during my visitr

[open slate]

is the date upenn comes out dec 15. i heard that this was the official date but i just heard people saying its not actually gonna be that day

[zenith drum]

They usually send out an email about a week before decisions with the specific date and time. That’s what is says on the Penn website.

[astral flicker]

Im so nervous even though I expect a rejection

Because to expect anything else is foolish

[bold onyx]

no official date yet

CANT GET UR HOPES UP TOO HIGH YK

[upper zealot]

isnt it 12 days

oh wait

mb

[strange ember]

isnt it scary to think that they very likely have made a decision on ur file already 😭

[tawdry crystal]

I 100% know that the mfs already made a decision on my file 'cause QB match day passed already

But I won't know what that decision was

Mfs already moved my app to QBRD without even telling me in an email

[strange ember]

what does this indicate, that they deferred u from ED?

i mean u already got mit lol

[tawdry crystal]

They always automatically defer apps to QBRD

[upper zealot]

didnt u commit to mit

[tawdry crystal]

Either because the kid didn't match to anyone or the kid matched to a non-binding school (me)

[upper zealot]

😭

[tawdry crystal]

Nah it ain't binding

I just wanna know what happened to my other apps man

Already applied, might as well see it to the end

[strange ember]

oh yeah

now the wait is wroth it lol

[upper zealot]

lmao oats gonna be like a pokemon dude

[prime nexus]

[strange ember]

oats did u ever have ur mit interview?

[strange ember]

haiii

[tawdry crystal]

LET'S FUCKING INFLATE THAT EGO LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

[upper zealot]

💪

[tawdry crystal]

Seriously though the impostor syndrome is setting in already 💀

[tawdry crystal]

I loved my interview man

[upper zealot]

mf is already an imposter

wtf

[prime nexus]

sus

[tawdry crystal]

Oh fuck

Because my Penn app got deferred to RD

That probably means I'll get an actual interview

[upper zealot]

w

[tawdry crystal]

And it'll probably be an M&T Alum

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[strange ember]

why would they defer u tho

cuz u got matched already?

[tawdry crystal]

Because they don't have a choice

You can only get matched to one school

[strange ember]

mm

[tawdry crystal]

So they just move you over to RD no matter what their actual decision was

[prime nexus]

bro must be cracked

[astral flicker]

I got it

[lean quiver]

bud im going to slap you

[ember bolt]

their decision is gonna be ACCEPT upenn is my safety

[astral flicker]

My delusionality makes me read into it lmao

[civic cipher]

yea idt it matters

[strange ember]

for anyone who applied for financial aid to penn, do you have to submit the tax return form? i thought this gets submitted along with the fafsa

[upper zealot]

i think someone else had a simialr question

[tawdry crystal]

Yes

Iirc you submit the CSS Profile, FAFSA, and your Tax Documents

But Penn is weird

They don't use IDOC for your tax documents

They use their own portal 😭

[lean quiver]

why

what is the point

[strange ember]

man

smh

[tawdry crystal]

I have no idea

[lost hound]

it came out today??

[stoic owl]
