[tranquil dagger]

Just do it man

It doesnt matter if u have a good application apply

[upper zealot]

Rejection is part of uni application

[random wedge]

Penn’s my dream school fr

[olive haven]

[random wedge]

I hope the peep boost is real !!!

[random wedge]

Tysmmmmm

[random wedge]

Ok so I wrote my thank you letter to my twin and we’re identical and I called her my identical replica in my thank u note is that weird or will they get that it’s a joke

[supple granite]

Honestly depends on how you framed the rest of the thank you note, and you can always have someone else read it and see what they think

[keen furnace]

what’s the deferral to RD situation looking like

[upper zealot]

thats crazy 💀 admitted then deferred

[modern breach]

wtf

praying thats me 🙏

for duke

[random wedge]

lol yeah I talked to an AO there and they said Wharton looks for calc lol

[tender kiln]

i’ll look at my admissions file second semester

but penn admissions files r super boring

just scores

and not even a benchmark to compare the scores with

[waxen mauve]

do a lot of wharton kids get deferred and then accepted?

[vital cradle]

I got my admission file back

[soft delta]

oooh

how it looking

[faint badger]

do tell

[last jasper]

Anyone know the defer rate?

[upper zealot]

69%

[faint badger]

it's about the same as the acceptance rate

[zenith drum]

it has to be higher this year it seems like everyone got deferred

[worldly fern]

for the penn community essay, should u talk abt communities you're currently in before transitioning to penn, or only talk about community at penn?

[faint badger]

cuz ur looking at a2c LOL

[dim herald]

i got defered too i wanna see the deferal rate

harvard was lke 80% lol maybe they just defer all

[faint badger]

nah penn defers same amt as accepted

[bold onyx]

it says nothing tbh

[upper zealot]

Hi Emre how’s ur day

[bold onyx]

penn admissions file gives u 3 scores that u dont know how are generated or what they mean lmao

[bold onyx]

meh

i had econ final this morning

[upper zealot]

Why meh

Oh how was it

[upper zealot]

What is it out of?

I guess ppl gonna see how much they got in each of the three sections then?

[bold onyx]

240 i think

[bold onyx]

yea

[olive haven]

ik three people from my school including me that applied penn ed, two of us got in and one got deferred

[upper zealot]

Each?? Wtfff

[bold onyx]

[upper zealot]

Or in total

[bold onyx]

each i think

i didnt even see 3 tbh

[dim herald]

everyone at my school got deferred or rejected from ivies

[bold onyx]

wait no

[dim herald]

congrats on getting in

[olive haven]

my school had four cornell ed applicants and they all got deferred 😭

[olive haven]

tyyy

[bold onyx]

its one academic index thats out of 240, then 2 rankings of intellectual pursuits and community service on a scale of 1-6 (my friend had a 5 on intellectual and 3 on community service)

[olive haven]

i remember hearing about admissions files on tiktok

lowkey excited to request mine when i get to penn

[bold onyx]

theres basically nothing on there 😭

which college are you in?

[olive haven]

seas

[fringe surge]

W

[barren granite]

my new #1 after getting rejected from cornell!

do u guys have any tips for essays

haven't written mine yet but like how do i write a thank you note lol

[hazy merlin]

Have you never written one

[barren granite]

like not really lol

should i write to a fam member

[hazy merlin]

😭

[night mountain]

nah

be creative

[barren granite]

ya that's what im saying

but idk

[faint badger]

me doing this is prob what got me deferred

i went too safe w my essays

[tender kiln]

idt writing to a family member is bad tbh

writing to unique person could be cool

but that essay is a lot less abt who u write it to or even why u write it

[analog shard]

i just wrote a thank you note to my best friend bcuz i am literally so grateful

[tender kiln]

and more abt what ur experience with that person has taught you and how it has molded u into the lerson u are today

[tender kiln]

so did i yeah

[barren granite]

ok ya i think with this batch im going to be a lot less safe

i think I might've been to safe with cornell

[pallid ginkgo]

is it over for wharton if i get B senior year and got deferred to rd

[leaden creek]

no

[pallid ginkgo]

[keen fulcrum]

upenn ppl hey

[supple granite]

wsp

[ripe sinew]

finishing up my LoCI rn, anyone knows where to send it?

also how abt additional recommendation letters from a teacher, where would I put this?

[bold onyx]

probably

but no matter what u do its probably over anyway

[pallid ginkgo]

because of defer right

[opaque pilot]

Deferred

Time to take my talents to college football

[tranquil dagger]

wdym

kirk said defer rate same as ED rate

[modern breach]

Honestly surprised there’s only 41 states

I thought they would try to get 50

[modern breach]

I think end of Jan is the best time

I’ve seen that from multiple sources

[bold onyx]

just in general

[modern breach]

Wait is defer Penn really that bad

I thought they barely defer any

[bold onyx]

nah its similar to rd apparently

[modern breach]

Oh

Also how hard is huntsman

[pallid ginkgo]

damn

[ripe sinew]

really i heard sending before the break is best

[modern breach]

Dw bro I was deferred Duke as well

We just gotta keep hopes low and apply other places too

[modern breach]

I saw on TikTok and I asked someone personally

Cuz u need enough time to collect progress on your Ecs or award so the update is actually meaningful

[bold onyx]

extremely hard

[ripe sinew]

hmmmm true, also where wud you send it

[ripe sinew]

wait you get higher rates no?

[modern breach]

Damn someone from my school got in

[modern breach]

For Duke at least in the portal

Not sure about Penn

You can either email or send it in the portal

Either works

[opaque pilot]

It’s very similar yeah

Last year ~15

[tranquil dagger]

2 from my district got in

[opaque pilot]

Huntsman is only 50 afaik

2/50 is wicked

[tranquil dagger]

yh but its insane

[opaque pilot]

From one district

[tranquil dagger]

YES

we had 8 upenn ed

alr

[opaque pilot]

Dam

Is it from that 1 comp school u told me abt

[tranquil dagger]

yes bro

this year they went crazyyy

5 columbia so far

[tranquil dagger]

why r u up late

r u doing RD schools

[bold onyx]

not too sure, that’s what i thought but my friend told me it was pretty similar to rd, but thats a good sign compared to harvard where deferral is basically a rejection

[ripe sinew]

yeah Harvard notorious for deferring all the rejects

idk i read somewhere that the defered—>accepted rates is x2 higher than rd rates

[opaque pilot]

Nah check dms

[upper zealot]

😕🫶

[frigid seal]

Robbery

[olive haven]

i wrote mine to my brother and got in ed :)

[olive haven]

not good advice, i wrote mine to my brother and got in

“be creative” is correct but writing to a family member is completely fine

[night mountain]

i mean you can write to whoever you want

but uniqueness is better

based on what worked for me

[olive haven]

yeah ik but you were saying writing to a sibling is bad 😭

which is not true

[night mountain]

you'd have to put a really unique twist on it lol so many ppl prolly do that right?

[olive haven]

well obviously i put a unique twist in my thank you letter but the person i wrote it to was very generic

wrote it to my older brother but i made it unique

if you write to your siblings it's fine just make sure you're creative and unique

[night mountain]

yea that's prolly the biggest thing

[olive haven]

tbh being creative and unique throughout your whole application is critical

[night mountain]

yea exactly

idk i just went wack with my thank you note to a famous athlete

[olive haven]

someone else from my school with better grades than me and lots of academic ECs got deferred bc he was just an academic weapon in his essay and shit

[olive haven]

oh damn risky but nice, i thought abt doing something like that but then i read online that it'd be risky to write your thank you letter to someone who you never met/doesn't know you

[upper zealot]

Kinda makes sense

At top schools everyone is mostly academically qualified

Ecs might not even be that bad but it’s the way you write and deliver that I think can be extremely important

[olive haven]

Yeah definitely for sure

my interview also went really well so that's another factor

[random wedge]

Hey upenn

[night mountain]

i mean i had a unique and personal twist with it

[faint badger]

nah

[tranquil dagger]

do you recommend being more risky with this approach

im a little safe by writing to a friend

[olive haven]

tbh yes if it means you'll be able to write a thorough, unique, and genuine thank you letter

writing to my brother was risky bc siblings are very common subjects of thank you letters but i made sure to stand out and be unique

[tranquil dagger]

ah ok thanks!

[tranquil dagger]

yooo i didnt see before but congrats on wharton

[night mountain]

ayy thx

[olive haven]

how is everyone else celebrating their ED admissions

i'm finally on holiday break so i stayed up last night watching netflix and now im gonna play smash bros and TOTK on my switch

[olive haven]

ofcc

[night mountain]

studying for finals in my room...

[worldly fern]

for the ppl who got accepted, how "unique" were ur essays? im writing my why major one and idk how to make it quirky lol

like im just being straightfoward which answers the prompt but its not super unique

[night mountain]

1. unique asf guarantee nobody wrote it to that person
2. sorta unique, came out of an experience i had at penn
3. basic asf

[worldly fern]

2 is the community right

[tranquil dagger]

yea

[hybrid skiff]

is it ok if the thank u note never reaches the recipient

[tranquil dagger]

yes

[hybrid skiff]

W

[olive haven]

my thank you letter was unique but i wouldn’t be surprised if someone else wrote abt the same thing

my community was very specific and unique, i had experiences at penn before i applied and wrote about those

my why SEAS essay was unique but not the best, i just did a lot of depth and research into my program and the opportunities

[worldly fern]

got it thx

[tender kiln]

idts

[worldly fern]

would u be willing to take a quick look at my seas essay and lmk ur thoughts?

[tender kiln]

based on me and most ppl i know here

most ppl just write to their bsf

or a teacher

[tender kiln]

yes i think your seas essay especially should be unique, your community essay too but it can be slightly more generic

and uniqueness probably matters the least on the thank you note

[hybrid skiff]

i wrote 2 an academic rival

lel

good take?

[hexed frost]

huh

think that’s unique

[barren granite]

is it worth it to submit a 1510 sat

[burnt osprey]

Yeah

[hybrid skiff]

y not

[upper zealot]

finna be the hardest beef of all time

🔥

[ember bolt]

i got rejected but i wrote to a girl that i almost fought in my 10th grade chem class ijbol maybe thats why i got rejected 😭

[hazy merlin]

Girl what 😭

[ember bolt]

it was in a way that didnt talk about the fight or anything just more how i grew from that like thanking her for bettering me as a person

if tht makes sense

[empty jasper]

does anyone know somebody who got into the nursing program and are willing to answer a couple of my questions about it 😭

[hazy merlin]

Oh that’s actually really cool!

[supple granite]

Bruh I hella forgot we still have finals 💀

[upper zealot]

💀

i think everyone did

[digital bramble]

Those sound so good

My penn essays were uhhhh

[digital bramble]

Mine were literally all basic, I wrote my thank u note to my childhood best friend and the other two were like cookie cutter why us essays

[native pasture]

I ❤️ penn (they totally didn't reject me with their summer college program)

[digital bramble]

Peep?

[native pasture]

Yeah lol I had the worst essay possible so it made sense 😅

I thought I cooked tho

[digital bramble]

ITS OKAYY youll cook when its time to apply

✊

[native pasture]

Ong I just didn't know how to write fr I was like "I want to go to Penn because I like it" ☠️ now I know how to write a personal statement lol

[clever obsidian]

only 50 ppl per year

someone from my school got huntsman and someone else got m&t

both get 50 new students per year

[burnt osprey]

@tender kiln guess who also dp board

[upper zealot]

LESSGO

[digital bramble]

HOORAY

[modern breach]

[olive haven]

YAY WE CHEERED

[digital bramble]

BEN FRANKLIN CHEERED FROM HIS GRAVE!

[olive haven]

a guy from my school who got accepted to M&TSI and did penn ED with me got deferred 😭

[digital bramble]

whats m and tsi

is it like a pre college program for m&t?

[olive haven]

[supple granite]

I’m CAS too!!!!

[digital bramble]

ANOTHER ONE

LETS GOOO

[olive haven]

hmu if you're also SEAS '28!!

or from MA

i'd love to meet my fellow massholes

[upper zealot]

Might be dumb question but do people actually take gap year just to try get into a school

[olive haven]

yeah

if people think their stats aren't good enough they sometimes take a gap year to grind ECs and shit

tbh in my opinion i wouldn't, you can always improve your stats and portfolio by going to uni and then applying to transfer

[olive haven]

did anyone else here also apply for questbridge? i applied to QB but didn’t become a finalist and i applied ED through common app with the QB applicant waiver they gave me

idk if penn reviewed my QB app along with my common app but tbh my QB app was shit 😭

[barren granite]

huh

[supple granite]

I used my QB app for ED after they named me nonfinalist LOL

[olive haven]

i think she meant to reply to me 😭

[olive haven]

LMAO i used my common app instead bc my QB essays were shit 😭 september 26 is way too little time for me to actually write quality essays 💀

[plucky locust]

you’ll realize undergrad schools at penn are so irrelevant once you’re here

[digital bramble]

🙏

[plucky locust]

all my roomies are in CAS and SEAS

it’s p awesome

you guys will love it im so excited for you guys

[bold onyx]

nobody here is from western mass

[olive haven]

last time i went was halloween 2021

[bold onyx]

ive heard of one other person from western mass

[olive haven]

[bold onyx]

theres hella boston kids tho lol

[olive haven]

i always say i’m from boston

but i live an hour away 💀

as i should though

[bold onyx]

i just say western mass lmao

my friends think i live on a farm bruh

[olive haven]

there’s so much western mass erasure from the bostonians

i’ve seen people say everything west of newton is western mass 😭

[tender kiln]

western mass

aint mass hella small

[olive haven]

not really 😭

[bold onyx]

i mean yea but western mass and eastern mass are very different

[olive haven]

it takes like 3 hours to get to the NY border from boston

[tender kiln]

y’all less than 20% of pennsylvania

crazy

less than 5% of california 😭

[olive haven]

berkshires vs. one of the most expensive cities in the usa

[tender kiln]

bro

massachusetts is abt the size of the bay area

[olive haven]

STOP

that can’t be true

[tender kiln]

massachusetts 7800 sq miles bay area 7000 sq miles

[olive haven]

NAURRRRR

i actually feel so small rn stop

[faint badger]

wtf

[olive haven]

i live like 20-30 minutes from the CT and RI border 😭

[tender kiln]

STOPP

cus my friend lives in oakland and thats literally real

[gray estuary]

does the dg stand for drain gang

[supple granite]

Me too

[hazy merlin]

People also just want a break

[olive haven]

yeah true but i was mostly talking about people who take a gap year just to focus on getting into a school

[hazy merlin]

Yeah I’m guessing people usually want to just take a year off to focus solely on their ecs

Like ik people (different application process ik) who are trying to get more experience before med school + want a break so they take a year off after undergrad to work and get clinical experience and stuff

[olive haven]

Yeah i’m planning on taking a gap year after undergrad before i go to grad school

Tbh I might not even go to grad school, a penn bachelor’s would prob be enough

[dusk python]

hello guys is this the penn state a2c channel

[upper zealot]

SHIT FUCK FUC

:WAH:

Either I get rejected or deferred

prob the latter 95%+

[tranquil dagger]

defer at wharton is decent

they defer 10%

and same AR for RD

[upper zealot]

how much of that 10% actually get accepted is the question

🤔

[frigid seal]

Georgetown defers 91%

Accepts 9%

[upper zealot]

💀

skull

be same as yale or was it duke

[frigid seal]

Applicants not same caliber

[tranquil dagger]

wtf

[frigid seal]

Yale applicants are most likely more cracked

[tranquil dagger]

bro

ur cracked

i didnt know gtown defer that much

[frigid seal]

Dude gtown applicants arent on the level of yale or penn or ivy

So take it with a grain of salt

[tranquil dagger]

then wyh do they defer so much

generally ivies defer more bc the quality is more

[frigid seal]

They said they only allow ‘superior’ applicants ea

Which is quite rude

To say imo

💀💀

My ass is not superior

I think my app ocerall is a good fit for gtown

Business app but have some political/public policy and community ECs

[hybrid skiff]

KVD just superior

[frigid seal]

Nah theyre highkey shitty for using that wording

Didnt really vibe with that

[ripe sinew]

anyone knows whether you can send an additional recommendation letter if you are defered? if so how and where?

[upper zealot]

Like LOCI?

[ripe sinew]

yeah basically

[analog shard]

[upper zealot]

:(

[analog shard]

it's just a day so time to drive myself crazy

[frigid seal]

The EAs u applied to arent strong indicators

They legit defer everyone

Uchicago is insane

[analog shard]

[frigid seal]

I mean theres nothing better that releases this early

But dont change just bc if deferrals

[leaden creek]

lmao

my friend got in georgetown ea

[frigid seal]

[leaden creek]

[dim herald]

Deferred from wharton, any other schools u guys can think of for business/economics?

tryna see anywhere else i could consider for rd

[frigid seal]

Some of those are a waste

[dim herald]

wdym?

[frigid seal]

BU, CWRU, Gtech, JHU all mid to below mid for business

[dim herald]

well idk if theres any other schools that i should put instead

their def not the best ones

[frigid seal]

Add BC

[dim herald]

boston college

[frigid seal]

Ye

IU kelley

Um idk what else

UVA

[dim herald]

thanks!

[tender kiln]

@upper zealot where do i rank

[mint wolf]

Yo who here got rejected

I need to cope w others

[upper zealot]

on where

For UPenn top 5?

My top 5 for u guys is like

Emre
U or Kayak
I think some other person I forgot name
And Iz bc I barely talk to her but she very chill

[tender kiln]

what abt college freshmen in general

[random wedge]

idk about jhu for econ

[upper zealot]

Prob also too

Top

[dim herald]

Ig il remove it

I think I had it just in case it became either that or rutgers

If I got rejected from everywhere

[random wedge]

jhu is just as competitive as the other schools listed

[pallid ginkgo]

did anyone who got into wharton have a b

on transcript

please

i’m losing it

[waxen mauve]

did u get deferred

[hexed frost]

2 ppl at my school got into upenn, with one wharton

both of them had a B

but they also had legacy

both of them

[olive haven]

this year 2 ppl from my school got into penn including me, i got into SEAS and the other guy got into CAS

[faint badger]

did u get deferred?

[hexed frost]

yea 💀

rough

[olive haven]

last year 2 ppl also got into penn from my school and one got into M&T and the other got into LSM

[olive haven]

not wharton but i had a B+ and got into SEAS 💀

[pallid ginkgo]

yes

[pallid ginkgo]

that’s fire congrats!

[olive haven]

tyyyy 🫶

[pallid ginkgo]

i’m sure i probably won’t get in since i got deferred anyway

but idk if i’m still competitive for other top business schools

idk how b on senior year looks

or b+

[faint badger]

still 10% AR

[olive haven]

rn i’m in second quarter and i have a B- in physics 💀😭

[pallid ginkgo]

not with a b😭😭😭

[olive haven]

i submitted my first quarter grades though and i had an A- in physics then

i fucking hate torque and rotational inertia

[pallid ginkgo]

what did you have a b+ in

[olive haven]

ap european history 😭

[pallid ginkgo]

ohh gotcha

[olive haven]

that class was such a waste of time

never again

[pallid ginkgo]

LOL

but physics worse imo

i’m ending with a b in ap gov

so hard for no reason

because if you get deferred they want to see a better app right

[olive haven]

yeah def it’d be better if you improve your stats and ECs with the extra time you have bc of the deferral

[faint badger]

tfw i got deferred cuz i didnt do calc.

[dim herald]

im kind of screwed i think

i have a B in 4/7 classes

and statistically its impossible to bring back even if i got a 100 on the midterm

should i still send in a loci

i tried to get it up but like it didnt work lol

[pallid ginkgo]

i’ve had all As so far and i’ve talked to my teacher as much as i can and he said it’s improbable for me to get an A

[pallid ginkgo]

senioritis?

[dim herald]

i overloaded my class schedule

its only 6 aps and required theology but i needed to do it for class rigor

i only had like 2 aps ever before this so it was hard for me

[pallid ginkgo]

ohh i see

[dim herald]

ik im just dumb but yea

[upper zealot]

damn

[upper zealot]

L

that sucks

[faint badger]

but now i got an A in Calc!

[upper zealot]

Ayeee

Acceptance now

Woo hoo

ez dubs

[faint badger]

Yippeee!!!

[pallid ginkgo]

WOOOOO

[last jasper]

Deferral is cuz of calc bc for CAS?

[olive haven]

i did AP lang junior year and im doing english IV honors my senior year, my counselor tried to gaslight me into AP lit bc she said penn might not accept me bc i dropped down a level 💀

bffr bc i got in

trust me you did not get deferred bc of one class choice

college admissions goes so much beyond that

[faint badger]

wharton requires calc

[olive haven]

so why’d you apply wharton then? 😭

[last jasper]

what abt cas?

[faint badger]

cuz im a biz guy! and i was taking calc

but i hadnt finished it when i submitted ED

[olive haven]

oh

yeah i saw they like to see calc prep in wharton applicants

[faint badger]

plus my school is single track

[sleek grail]

is anyone applying to penn engineering

[faint badger]

so i dont rlly have a choice

[analog shard]

no i really dont know how to evaluate where i stand yk

[olive haven]

tbh if i didn’t fulfill calc before submitting my app i wouldn’t have even applied to wharton 😭 would’ve just applied to CAS

bc guaranteed denial/deferral

[frigid seal]

Get someone else to read it ig

[faint badger]

fingers crossed that they want me after seeing my A

my A- in spanish better not fuck me up

[olive haven]

good luck in RD though!!

[faint badger]

thanks ❤️

[olive haven]

i had a B+ on my transcript and got in, you’ll be ok

[faint badger]

real

[olive haven]

but also my B+ was in a course completely unrelated to my major

B+ in ap euro but i’m studying comp sci at SEAS so who gives af

[analog shard]

i did and opinions range from this essay is so cool i have no feedback (mom's colleague, nu journalism student) to this essay isn't bad enough to hurt your application but it definitely isnt gonna help it (oats)

guess who i trust more

[frigid seal]

This gives me hope

I got 1 b this sem

[olive haven]

it should!! grades aren’t everything

my GPA was below past acceptances to penn from my school

i suffered my freshman year

covid year 😭

[frigid seal]

If u want i can read it for another set of eyes

I dont mjnd

If not my advice is stick with your heart

Ik its corny ssl

Asl

[analog shard]

sure but ill send after uchi decision

[frigid seal]

But imo it just makes the most sense

[analog shard]

yeah i know

but in all honesty

im not a great fan of my common app essay

im v conflicted on it

[frigid seal]

Then prolly redo it if u feel that way

But keep it as reserve

[analog shard]

because i like it but i also feel like there are so many things i could've chosen to talk about and this one is kinda meh

yeah fair

[frigid seal]

Bro i wrote about a boy scout hiking trip

It doesnt need to be special

[olive haven]

my common app essay is so unique and niche i’ll genuinely be shocked if someone wrote abt the same shit i did

[faint badger]

oats is the best editor ive ever come across

so

[frigid seal]

What is it

[rose mural]

there are 40k people applied each year i think it will match at least one

[analog shard]

def thats why im so owehowiht

[analog shard]

same tbh but also idkkkkkkkk

[olive haven]

no genuinely i doubt it 😭 and i’m not saying this bc i have an ego or some shit i really mean it

[olive haven]

i wrote about being lgbtq, and coding a game and somehow tied it back to abortion and roe v wade

[frigid seal]

Tf

[faint badger]

thats a lot.

[frigid seal]

💀💀

[olive haven]

LMAOO idk how i pulled it off 😭

[frigid seal]

Yea idk about that one chief

[faint badger]

[olive haven]

[analog shard]

[frigid seal]

😭😭

[olive haven]

[faint badger]

roe v wade is an interesting connection then

[olive haven]

yeah sure i’ll DM you it

[faint badger]

id love to read it too

[olive haven]

ofcc

[frigid seal]

Bros acting like men cant speak on abortion

💀💀

[analog shard]

i just wrote about how my desire for fame led me to forget the joy of creating art and connected it to my main ec

[olive haven]

lemme omit some PII and i’ll send

[frigid seal]

Desire for fame is interesting

[analog shard]
