pennsylvania >>> new jersey
facts but penn campus looks so bad 😭
Yes I have been. And they like…love UPenn but so do the Princeton undergrads (like they love Princeton)
really? i love locust walk its so pretty 😭 and i'm also a big city person so there's that
rural people love princeton and cornell
i never planned on applying to cornell for the sole reason that it's in the middle of buttfuck nowhere
ive seen pics and many of the buildings r definitely top tier
but they just seem so out of place
i've been on college green during spring it's so nice and i was staying with my brother it was fun to bring my computer and do work on the grass
makes sense that people love the school they go to LMAO
that view looks sick unfortunately the building next to the main one is 🤢
Shut uuuuup you know what I meant
LMAO tbh the campus view isn't the most important thing for me, location and building quality are important imo
LMFAOOO
either way you're gonna slay at penn or princeton
and we can still visit each other bc princeton isn't far from philly
😍 🙏
Yesss please
I heard Penn is one of the most depressing school in the nation!?
no that's cornell
Sigh…I hate to break it to you…but I’m afraid it is UPenn
NOOOOOO
According to my most recent Google search lmao
PLSSS WHY IS UPENN #1
fake news
LMAOO
REAL
there's also this
Stage 1: denial
Stage 2: anger
Stage 3: bargaining
PLSSS STOP ATTACKING ME 😭 😭 😭
stage 4: pookie bear
Stage 5: acceptance
It’s ok, we all go thru the 5 stages of grief
covid made everyone depressed anyways
LMAOOO
Some more than others 👀
people in the dual degree programs skewing the data 👀
Hmmmm nahhhhg
Can’t be it
wdym bro 
i've heard a bunch of people in the dual degrees tell me how stressful and tough it is
Hmmmmmmmmmm
🤔🤔🤔
That can’t be it, I refuse
u can most likely survive and stay sane as a single degree student 💀
which is my plan
the most i'll do besides my major is a minor or a major with overlap
What’s ur major
Imma do major + minor
cs
Can’t do double major at my school sadly
what school
Ic SEAS
The #1 in the us 😎
according to us news 💀💀
Bet you haven’t showered today (I’m cs too)
Go to a real school buddy
the day just started pookie
Like?
if you're in eastern
I typed that at 8:59, it just didn’t send til 9
You mean this luck?
Yah
😳
i shower every day tyvm 🙄
Hate us bc you ain’t us
i'm gay so i'm very hygenic
He’s me
don't even think about hitting me with the cs majors are stinky stereotype
i'm gay so it cancels it out
I don’t think there’s a correlation with gayness and hygiene
i like to think there is
imagine not going to Harvard
If your school isn’t t2 is it really a school
Your source = best source
ong
It’s a T1 we just don’t have to meat ride us news to know we’re the best
Sorry, can’t hear you. Our school is actually academically rigorous
Sorry can’t hear you we actually get bitches
yessir
I’ll take Harvard over Yale anyway
Get outta here yalie
💀
MY MAN
😭
😭
Bros gonna have to invest in a bulletproof vest
LMAO
😔
Dropout of Yale and go to the better HYP
Looks like P is next on your list!
prolly get kidnapped before i can drop out
It’s HYP for a reason Harvard 🔛🔝
“He holds the bulb and the world revolves around him” self centered ahh
Lol
LMFAO REAL
It’s the opposite for me
I .aint never met a student that liked their school
It’s a SCHOOL
yo do they provide lunch at quaker day
yes
ok
Anyone get aid yet
are you the lunch
can someone help me appeal my aid
two kids at my school have double legacy here 😭
The girls were fighting yesterday I see
Ye
Who won
Me
Oh word?
how many people get off the waitlist?
last year 147/3351
That’s actually not bad odds
Why not upenn anymore
the financial aid offer for columbia is too good
did you like it
guys pls choose yale and columbia
cause I wanna get into penn 🤭🤭
I need to get off of their waitlist ameen
^
when is aid coming out?
i got mine
anyone here been accepted after waitlist? did you contact your regional AO?
do they email you when it comes out
yes
Wait-lists only come out after may 1st
Don't worry about it until then
nah I meant previous years
sorry also on the financial aid checklist does it say your fafsa was processed?
no
Any accetpance package yet?
Card holder and a tiny pennant
Yes, I was
I did not reach out to my regional AO though
This is insane to me
Penn’s campus is just so much better than Columbia’s in every way
Columbia’s is just so small
Saved by being in NYC with decent train access
philly has decent train access too
market frankford line
Sorry let me rephrase
and the trams
Decent train access in terms of line
Like*
The 1 train is pretty useful
NYC outdoes Philly entirely
well obviously
When it comes to public transport
Decent is stretching it
i mean it worked for me when i was in philly 😭
penn is like a 5 minute walk from the stations on market frankford
and easy access to the airport at penn med station
true
Last time I was on mfl the lights fully just went out for like six stops
the only nice station on septa is 5th street independence hall
all the other stations are crusty 😭
mta and septa are both wild ngl
MTA is a lot more civilized and stable
true tbh
When I’m on the septa the trains and trams feel weak and cheaply made
@dense oriole fix your city
LMAO real 😭
i hate how the septa key expires though
does anyone even use the debit card function
my septa key from 2021 expired 😭
that’s culture
Pathetic
When that
next weekend
Can’t going home for belated eid :(
after quaker days im heading down to DC for the festival LMAO
ok so like the septa is kinda disgusting and u will almost always be surrounded by ppl smoking or doing drugs if you take it past like 7 pm but it gets the job done
rip
why not just go to philly one
R u bush this weekend
ok 👍
i like DC's more
plus i haven't been to DC in five years and i've been to philly plenty of times in the past few years
so it'll be a fun trip
idk what that means
Busy
icic
busy tomorrow
Boo
can i dm u smth relating to premed
hello pookei
yea
Can someone me send the Penn ‘28 discord server link?
Trying to force time@into my weekend
After bombing my exam
didn’t u get a b?
After studying for a week
Nonstop
I did sm better on the first exam I winged
It was below class median
Not good
Especially since like
I feel like I know the content super well
Did you guys get aid yet
yes
comparison is a bad thing
This year?
no ones gonna get off this year until late may or june 😭
I want to know if anyone got off SEAS waitlist these last years
Me
Definitely happened but it’s a small portion obviously
I know a SEAS WL admit personally
Yes
done
does upenn send any acceptance packages to admitted students?
Did anyone get their aid offers yet?
a tiny flag
yes that too
Ya
how r u guys finding roomates
not for upenn but in general im just texting people and seeing how our interests and tastes and lifestyles line up
like j slide into dms and shi?
yeah
if you want roommates you need to network and initiate conversations and stuff lol
sometimes you dont have to start them but you do need to interact
someone in the berkeley server posted that she was looking for a girl who'd be down to explore the city and stuff and i replied to that so she dmed me
bet
Should I be worried cause I haven’t gotten mine
yeah my friend turned down penn for princeton LMAO
@rustic folio better change your name to princeton ‘28 🫡
👀🐅
@olive haven Have u sent in ur penn 2028 profile to the insta yet just curious
yeah I did a while ago
yours just popped up on my feed
liked 😍
which one
_upenn2028 and upenn2028.official
yes
saw u followed me on insta LMAO
accepted 🫡🔥
are u also viet by any chance?
judging by your last name
Yeah
Lowkey chinese or viet I actually dont know
Damn really 😭
Did u grow up speaking one of the languages
Cantonese
ohh i see
ik a few chinese people who were born in vietnam and speak canto
hoa people i think they’re called
you’re probably hoa if you’re ethnically chinese but your family was born/lives in vietnam
lowkey why does philly suck
also for current students does it matter for mba programs if I get a ba in econ from the college or a bs in econ from wharton (second major is stem)
Omg so many Viets in A2C 🥹🥹
Is there a Snapchat gc?

congrats
WIAT HI
Did u change ur user? What was ur old nickname?
it was ineedacoffee!
congrats to u too!!
i got rejected yale rea and never spoke in the yale thread again
Omgg
penn clutched up 😋
I was deferred and then rejected lol 😭
Issok i lovee penn
I was able to go to Quaker days and it was rlly fun
I committed to Penn CAS a few days ago
yesss it was so beautiful and congratulations on your commitment
penn is incredible and the students seem so passionate
and also the vibes were nice
my mom was so impressed by the community and how involved everyone was
my mom is never impressed
Wooohoooo fellow penn student
hello!! what are u studying
are u a '27?
Ikr
so smart
Yess!!
Do u have insta btw?
Okii
U guys post on the penn2028 yet
Ya one of them but another one taking forever or something
I just needa find a roommate thats all
Oo do u have insta?
Ill dmu
AGHH
Praying for you
Try asking them to match another school
Assuming u got aid somewhere else
I’m thinking abt doing that
WashU gave me 26k for some reason
Cornell 6k
I’m also doing Harvard and pton waitlists 😓
boi if u don’t ask them to match washu RIGHT TF NOW???
Columbia and Duke waitlist imma pass cause it’s too late anyway and I’m premed
TRUEE
DAMN U ATE WTF
NO U TF
No no no no…u like actually ate. If u got off the waitlist for all ur schools, where would u go
WHAT
Assuming they all gave u the same amount of aid
I'm so sorry
It’s ok twin ☹️
I'm sorry for u 😭😭😭
Probably Harvard for premedd
So real
Or was it also selfish like penn
They were actually really nice to me
I heard pton has yummy aid
dang!!
Very yummy
AND PENN $0
LIKE??? THE MATH??
penn so stingy
Do u have complicated assets? Sorry if this is too personal
No ur good! Not that I know of??
I’m not really sure why the disparity was that drastic
Two of my friends going also have 0 aid
But who knows…maybe it was a sign
That is so ouchy
Wait…im premed too twin!!
Frr
That’s a good question. They might’ve, which if that’s the case, I don’t think 0 would make a lotta sense lmao
Can they appeal?
Twin!!
We could all technically send an appeal but
I don’t wanna say anything riskyyyy 😭
THIS IS ABOUT YOUR FUTURE?? I would not gaf what I say😭
My family is in the 125-150k range which is quite high I recognize but also ik someone who has a lower income than this but got the same amount of aid as me
So maybe they do count assets too
TRUE
Ahh I see. I’m a bit above that and got nada
I have a friend who's income is 175k and he got 30k from penn
Well I guess from that standpoint it kind of makes sense I got 0 aid but
Now my family is scared to spend stuff on trips
Even tho we never even travel and I wanted a senior trip
OHHH so they def took into account your savings/retirement fund
Ok me too…but cmon man
They expect u to spend it on their university and not life 😋
They're making life = university
Like? Acting like their endowment isn’t out of this world
when life is now school 😞😞
Hasnt it always been 😋
sigh
Omg 😵💫
That 400k must be so helpful for their billions and billions
/s
I thought penn would be more generous I thought they were rich 😭
Okk 👀 I’ll do that once ap exams are over
GOOD LCUK!!!
THANKS QUEEN!!
Lmk if u want the pdf for appealing I can send it to u
Omg yes pls
I know nothing rn
LIKE OMG TELL ME ABOUT IT
How r you guys affording sticker price? 😭😭
Do you think it’s worth it if it’ll be a huge financial struggle?
- depends on how big of a struggle
- depends on what your other options are
- depends on what your major/post grad/career plans are
because there's no denying upenn will land you good money making jobs
but if you can go somewhere that's pretty good if not at the same level for a much cheaper cost
you should definitely go
^^
Quick question I love pretty close to UPenn would I still have to dorm there 😭
yeah you need to live on campus for the first two years
yes
but also you are probably gonna want to
will waitlist offers start on May 2 directly? or later in the month
Don’t spam this everywhere
should I call to have an extension on my commit deadline? or should I just commit & wait for my financial aid reevaluation
people on reddit said to not commit before getting your appeal results
but idk
a lil bittersweet i wont be attending even though i ED'd and got in after being deferred
but nevertheless a great time being here in the upenn forums : D
@tender kiln and emre if he was here
yeah u shouldnt
if u commit u lose leverage
cause rn they still see u as someone whos considering going based on how much financial aid u get
i would ask for an extension on commit deadline
cornell gave my friend one for the exact same situation
if u dont get one idk 😭
Okay, tomorrow is the deadline but when i called the lady said it’ll be okay
Because they can see that i sent the request today
I hoping the lady didn’t lie to me
where did you send the request? how long were you able to get an extension for?
I sent it to the email in the admissions portal
And I haven’t gotten back a reply yet. That’s why I’m scared
But when I called the admissions office, the lady said it’ll be fine
ty and did they do anything to ur portal/ask for ur info
yeah im rlly stuck rn and cant pick between penn and another school
how long did they give u to get back to them or is it as soon as u get ur aid back?
did u get an extension to commit or do you still have to give them ur response tomorrow
I sent an email asking for the extension. I haven’t gotten a reply back
I called the admissions office, and asked if my offer will get rescinded & they said no. That because I sent the request today, that I’ll be registered for today
ohh i see ty
so waitlist decisions will only come in a rolling basis during june?
Where did you commit
He did George mason
why /gen
if there was one person who would be succesful without college in here id say ryan
but his reasoning was if he can make quadruple the salary of an IB analyst why would he go to an ivy cus thats sinking 400k and the opportunity cost of losing 3 million potentially in income
Yall I'm looking into getting a computer for college (currently have a mac but I want to switch) and I heard the industry sstandard is a Lenovo Thinkpad? Thoughts anyone? And if so what kind of Thinkpad should I get? @tranquil dagger maybe you got connections that know an answer LMAO
im stumped on this but try @cinder hatch
lol uh for windows dell xps is good
depends on what u wanna do tho lowk i was thinking abt getting a mac
I have a thinkpad X1, not very happy w it
for context i have an xps 15 and it works great but the battery life isn't that good on the 4k screen version
Mason
that makes sense
@hybrid skiff you didn't commit yet right
why are you not a fan of X1
oh really? I heard Mac was the best for CS
Okay that's fair. I just heard that it makes life easier for excel usage and other windows compatiable software
Do you have the Carbon one?
no, yoga
im not a tech guy but it glitches rly often, has low battery capacity, and is slow
no i haven’t yet
Shi okay that’s good to know
i keep forgetting you're a guy
im very very manly so idk how
Guys I don’t think I’m getting my acceptance mail it’s been a month 💀😭
is there a server for accepted students?
but you're so nice 😔
hey did anyone get the pennkey email!
yes!
this might have been asked before but if i reported on my common app that i was PLANNING to take certain ap exams this year but have now decided to opt out of them since penn doesn't take them for any credit/waivers will i be penalized in any sort of way
no
dw
as long as you don't drop the course at school
ok perff!!
do i have to notify penn abt this or nah
i have 7 exams these next two weeks but only micro + macro give me credit so i'm only taking those LMFAO
NO, just don't report the scores when you need to send them
GOOD LUCK
did anybody get their pennkey yet?
Wait how do you know if you’ve gotten it yet?
I created one last night and it’s crossed from my portal
how did you make it
i haven’t gotten a pennkey yet
There should’ve been an email sent a day or two ago 😭
U create ur own Pennkey but the email has the personal security code
is this after you commit?
i committed today
😅
I think so
okay ty
does penn have a deposit?
nope!
ty!
np! You shouldve also have gotten an email saying you've confirmed your spot! I got mines the morning after I committed
yes i got mine
ty
anyone got off the WL?
penn dgaf
ya this is smart
bless up
r u wharton
if you get 5’s in both you get to skip basic econ in CAS and wharton i’m p sure
nah im CAS
but ur right CAS also takes micro and macro
i get a waiver for econ 100 and 200 so it doesn't necessarily fulfill credit but it allows me to take a higher level econ course
idt u can skip
just substitute
so i mean yeah ig thats skipping but you have to take classes for tjose credits still
wait trust
it helps
i was in cas and i transferred into wharton and having the credits would've allowd me to not have to taken econ 100 and 200 which i wish i could've done
gotcha
do u like wharton? is there a strong community
or is it more
everyoen is out for themselves
i feel like
the individual schools don’t feel that separated
and it’s not that deep
it’s hard to describe but you’ll understand when ur here
Thank you
ya wharton and penn is lit you’ll love
Just submitted my waitlist update to them
Im not like mega-cooked right?
Like surely may 6th is reasonable
Its not thaaat late ig
they said to submit updates before may 1😬
I mean
Like optimally yes
But they also never RLY officially communicated that anywhere to me
Oh well
In god’s hands
Idrc
they said it in the waitlist faq
what schools waitlist are u on
Only Penn
Oh just l&s
it’s school of arts and sciences
Yeah
anyone know if we choose to dorm in a quad can we choose the other pair or is that out of my control
where are you going if not for penn
oh uchicago>>>>>>>>
Idk like theyre on the same tier in my head
Probably wont end up mattering anyways
Unlikely I get in off the waitlist Id imagine, especially considering I submitted my continued interest letter “late”
999999 going on in my life, idk what they want from me man
May 1st is such a dumb deadline for the LOCI if we’re being honest
Bc presumably youd wanna spend April weighing the options for schools you did actually get into, even if Penn was still your first choice (what I was doing)
💀
aint a single major
except econ
business CLEARS premed CLEARS prelaw CLEARS some humainties uchicago is marginally better
🤷♀️
i’d say it’s fairly the same except business
but they are in arts and sciences so that doesn’t matter
i would say uchicago prelaw clears
actually idk about clears but
When do waitlists come out for Penn
any transfers hear back??
saw may 25 somewhere
I think its just sometime between May 1-last day of June
