#University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) (2024-2025)

Im pretty sure acceptance rate stats r like 3% for seas and 4% for wharton; could be wrong im js goin off memory
3% wtf
But like the diff is so marginal so doesnt rly matter
bro seas is not all that
ehhhhh
yeah it is 3% for ‘28 i remember hearing it from a Penn AO at an event
Ivy scholars says it is 4% for CAS and 4% for Wharton
so it could just be a rounding thing
According to ivyscholars, so take that as u will
there is no other sources that I'm aware of
RD, ED or overall?
overall
Yh bc they dont publish official stats at all
I dont know where ivyscholars gets there data so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Oh wait rly an ao said that? Holy shit thats acc low
isnt penn like 10% ed
Also how is the overall acceptance rate a little under 6%
40% of the university is Wharton and another significant portion is SEAS
I think 14%
Bro how is seas more competitive than Wharton 😭
people need to stop with the cs
How though is my question
i think penn is just a place where too many people apply to
like 34 people from my hs applied ed
or some wild number
Tbh I think applicant SAT is probably one of the better measures
because that shows the quality of person that gets in
also penn doesnt require standardized tests too
generally speaking
only 2 got in
what how big is ur school 😭? is it private?
Gotta hope my 1540 can carry 😭 not even that high but it's gotta be enough to put me over the test optional people
700 per year, public
No but fine is not enough
For 3% acceptance
holy shit i thought my 450 per year was huge
take what u have and do the best u can with it
^
literally
well at least for 1550+
Yeah no I'm 1540 I'm cooked 💀
lmao but like 1540 basically 1550
fr
there are not
the importance of sat in college admissions is so overstated
seas and wharton r abt equal size
nursing is by far the smallest
and college is by far the largest
there’s abt 450 engineers per year
Who balancing out these atrocious acceptance rates then
bro 3% is probably the lowest of any college
at least gotta be top 10
Why apply to penn for nursing
nursing acceptance rate is definitely highest though
Stanford CS is 3.67%, Harvard 3.2%, Caltech is lower I believe
if you reallt want to be a nurse
#1 nursing school
Nursing is straight forward
in the world
college of nursing is difficult ive heard
this is so ignorant help
Yeah the issue is it doesn’t matter where you go to school for nursing
You can go to community college basically
i mean true for any major no
but also most nurses here go into healthcare consulting
also the resources at penn nursing including nhcm
Penn SEAS is somehow harder than Wharton, Caltech, MIT, Stanford, Harvard, and Princeton
😊
Haven’t heard of healthcare consulting
i’m not surprised i didnt even know consulting was a thing until i got here
Although I wonder how much applicant quality varies because that just seems wrong. Just seems straight up incorrect that it's harder to get into Caltech and Stanford than Penn SEAS CS
well penn has significantly more applicants than all those schools
Yeah but are those applicants of the same caliber
Like obviously they're good but are they as good as Caltech and Stanford
if there’s more inherently not all of them will be
but i think the top 10% are ofc yeah
also i’m pretty sure the 3ish % acceptance rate is only in rd
at which point its the same for hypsm too
which you would just about expect since penn is 6th best school in the country 🤷♂️
It's ranked 19 for CS
by USNews
cs rankings incredibly irrelevant lol
Their rankings are very strong in Wharton but not as strong in engineering discplines albeit still very strong obviously
no i’m saying like
Engineering and the sciences
also not true
but majorwise rankings matter so little
i turned down all the top public cs programs for penn ee without a moment of hesitation lol
rly? i thought the engineering rankings and more specific rankings would be more accurate than the more generalized rankings
nah
i think penn is a) harder than all those colleges b) has way better access to resources c) opens you up to WAY more careers d) is actually useful if you want to learn business/go into startups
working this summer in nyc and being heavily entrenched in the startup scene i met 0 founders from uiuc/gt/mich etc
everyone was penn/rice/yale/H/stanford
if you want to be another swe at faang maybe (and i mean just maybe because i highly doubt it, see https://codesignal.com/university-ranking-report-2024/) gt might be equal
Otherwise I love Penn
but if you have ambitions past that 😊
r u studying for 1410 rn lol
Are you in 1400 or 1079
2400 😁
LAME ese 2030 clears 🥱
i am aware 1410 sucks i dont think id even pass it
u will be soon enough bro
not a math major requirement therefore not real
engineering major req though 😊
😆😆 how does it feel having most of your classes in DRL
High school vibes
Have u ever gotten lost in DRL
bro i have so many times
I ended up on the roof once
the first floor is so lost
😄
but not as bad as time i got lost in the 76ers arena
how its always locked ive tried going
You’ll have many opportunities to do that again in Chinatown
Stupid politicians
so fun
i’m so confused where will this arena physically be
From the 1st floor in the N wing
have yg gone to winter village yet
Yes way it was terrifying
its lowkey dead
thats sad i kinda wanted to go
is there nothing to do there
i went to the city hall place and it was just shops very underwhelming
wait what don't these schools not admit by major
does penn seas not
yes
then are these overall admit rates?
Yeah
Wait fr me too lol
no way
m&t, lsm, viper
Yeah but the acceptance rate for Penn SEAS is apparently at 3%
glgl 🤞
drl is not it bruh
the first time i walked into the wharton research building i was like man wtf
why do we gotta deal with the backrooms ah building
i had the exact same feeling
someone said in 2027 is when drl rennovation starts
but thats not even math its just "physical science"
bruh fml thats when i graduate
If I got deferred how many cows must I sacrafice for the LOCI
💀
fr
tbf theres rlly not many of us to my knowledge
lmao i have 2 friends interacting with the math department
both fucking despise it
errrr i havent taken the intro. calc sequence so i dont have a terrible impression
my prof is j boring tho lol
trying to learn half a sem worth of material rn 😃
no
Foreign Language Requirement
Liberal Arts and Sciences
7 required course units
Humanities
At least 1 course unit
Natural Science, Math, and Engineering
At least 1 course unit
Social Science
At least 1 course unit
Cross-Cultural Perspectives
At least 3 course units
this can be anything
Your natural science requirements can be fulfilled by psychology
Or a math class…….
Lol…..
🥰
guys i think penn would've gotten TONNES more ED apps this yr because they're still test optional. yale and brown both got less early apps bc they reinstated testing so more ppl may have applied to penn just bc they're test optional now
It’s like a mix but the course is taught in an unstructured manner
Okay and
Don’t stress yourself out
If I submitted test scores would it hurt me still
i submitted test scores too but we'll see how it goes on thursday...
atp we just have to trust we did everything we could to do our best
i dont see why this would be a bad thing though- at least for those who submitted testing
Yeah, I think they say they don’t look at SAT scores but if you don’t submit one it could potentially come off as something bad
what is the point of test optional at that point tbh
If you mean that ppl who were about to apply to brown & yale and other schools that went test-required this cycle, did penn ED then im not sure 🤷🏻♀️ I mean their application numbers def increased compared to that school but I doubt anybody who was into brown or yale would apply to penn simply bc of the schools having at least slightly different vibes or whatever
im just healing myself 😭 we will find out it 5 days so
real. idk why people would spend so much money for a nursing degree 😭
Hospital admin?
for a BSN or ASN you don't need to spend so much money at all.
then if you want to do management, you need a bsn and a few years of nursing experience
Exactly
Someone tell this goofy school to release decisions a different day
December 19th is A2C discord day!
they're trying to not be like the other ivies😍🥰
Well they aren’t getting a server icon!!!
We are celebrating A2C discord’s birthday
gasp😭
could we at least get the banner🥺
No one’s made one atm
yayyyyy🥳🥳
ouuu oki fairs😭
i didnt even know cailou's age😭
It’s in the theme song
bro I hope so
Someone here had the same issue but after they called the financial aid office it turned out it was an issue on their end, so doc status changed to submitted
yeah you better contact Penn, best to call them to recheck for you (speaking from experience😭 )
😭😭this is who I was talking about
Oh snap you already mentioned it
wait what was the issue
basically on my portal it says "submitted" as the status
is it supposed to be smth else
Well mine specifically remained as 'unsubmitted' for the longest time after I had put my stuff on the portal. But if it was already in a submitted state then I doubt there is much to worry about if its the date you are looking at
ohh i see
I have the same problem… everything else is submitted except for FAFSA which was processed on the FAFSA portal
most schools arent processing fafsa data until january
Is anyone else’s status date show december even tho they submitted in nov
It doesn’t mean anything yall
mine showed another date last cycle and I wasn’t accepted 😝
Same with everyone one school I applied to said wait until January
!penn
!penn
!penn
i emailed them and they said its ok it says that for everyone
theyre waiting for the department of education to confirm theres no errors with the form this year before they start processing them
3 more days 23 more hours 🤞
Js gimme my decision so i can lock in for rd already….
appreciate
ts killing me not knowing 🙏 they literally said that the ed application review period is OVER idk why we gotta wait
fuckkk tradition im tryna see the letter 😭
Where was this tradition last Thursday?
should've released it on the thursday they announced that shit 😭🙏
@sly pebble check ur dms
any UPENN AI Majors?
i am a upenn ai major
!penn
!penn
!penn
coordinated dual degree program acceptances came out early on the portal! congrats!
Really?
wtf where
How do you know?
check A2C upenn decisions thread
wait wha-
theyre probably manifesting
there are so many claiming acceptances!?
Can u pls send a link? I cant find the reddit
But all of them are out
idk yall i wouldn’t put any faith in it till someone posts a letter
2 years ago 4 of my friends and i convinced the world that uc davis acceptances had dropped a day early in a similar way
LMAOO
that’s so devil of you guys
Has this ever happened before dyk
guys its not out
Dual degree coming out earlier than ED
at least not for me n im duo
I think it's just you get the letter if you're accepted
the fuck
And if you didnt get the dual its nothing
i think its a troll
idt it has
someone said they got into wharton through portal
at the minimum the wharton one is a troll idk abt the dual degrees
i like it i think its more interesting that the cs degree i was doing before
what were your stats?
is there anything with fin aid that can suggest acceptance or no
seems so too to me
very different but i think penn anything is >>>> than cmu anything, school prestige always matters more end of day
like one of them created their account today 💀
lol 36 and 3.97 💀
and what’s the point of releasing decisions now when they literally said that it’ll be out on 19th
can anyone confirm this 😭
i thought i had a chance to get into penn but i highly doubt
seriously
Bro my day started off bad and it is now ruined 💔
applying next year btw
its mainly EnvironmentEqual5057
who seems like a troll lmaoo
But there's also an M&T and a viper guy
@austere spindle sorry if im bothering u but do you think theres many people in the AI major?
exactly
like in purdue i heard that theres very less ppl taking up the AI major
what if theyre friends n wanted to troll on the tread
thread
nah sweetheart everything is okay, we’ll get the decisions soon
can be
honestly im j coping 2
💔
Whats LSM
Life science management
No
No
I am a senior
You did
Ok but i am a senior
Ok
I’ll bite them then
why can’t they post proof s right away 💔
every year has more and more, year above me only has like 10, mine has like 15, year below probably has like 30
true ask them to post proof
Danng thats actually so fire
Bro now i feel even worse
because i know im not getting into penn 💀

dts
Does status date for fin aid have any indication
For wether or not you’ve been admitted
my shit did NOT come out
Please Penn
3 more days gang chilll
its just a school lil bro
y’all think UPenn AOs play fortnite or are they just too cool and spend their free time manifesting vibe
dual part is real
srsly
regular dude saying he got into wharton is lying unless he's hunstman
frick...
i mean its different programs so
idk about how real the dual even is tho i've seen it everywhere on the internet but
why dont they have rejections then
seriously?
i've yet to see a real person on here who applied to a dual say its out
other than just reddit
yeah idk i haven't seen proof
BRUH IT WAS FAKE
penn please accept next year i give halk tuah please
LMFAO
the fact that this is gonna be me next year
bren on this since august
honestly i dont think its the rejection that affects me
its the wait and anticipation that i keep thinking about
all for nothing
thats what bothers me
YES
dude
before they sent out the email telling us the date
I was completely fine
once I found out it was on the 19th I legit couldn't sleep for the whole night after
💀
!penn
i can sleep but today its just been occasionally on my mind
and unfortunately its gonna be the case for the next 3 days
I have exams on wednesday and thursday I think I'm cooked
💀
my ap bio exam got pushed back to after break and my ap lit teacher got sick
all i have is calc
Do you know if Penn knows if somone is FGLI?
I think I submitted my CSS but they are saying I didnt?
don't they ask you in your application?
Its been so long I forgot 😭
Anyways I rechecked my CSS and I only submitted it for half of my schools for some reason
10/29
im not fgli so im not 100% but im sure they have a question somewhere in the app
well i don’t disagree sooo… (if you want my full thoughts you can see https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/s/bMMZirvh8m)
r/ApplyingToCollege is the premier forum for college admissions questions, advice, and discussions, from college essays and scholarships to college list help and application advice, career guidance, and more. A2C supports a welcoming and inclusive environment. Harassment, intimidation, and bullying are not tolerated.
there probably isn't much that differentiates but the ivy effect is real (i want to flex that i was the first from my school to go to an ivy in the last 20 years)
you also havent actually lived life though lol
i thought so too before college and even first sem here
but my lived experiences have taught me different
i'm sure that the intangibles and networking as been insane tho
going to penn gets you things—important connections, foots in the door, a higher level of respect and authority that other schools that are good for cs could never
plus id argue penn is just as if not more rigorous engineering wise than most schools
do you think this effect is amplified for business or no?
ofc i mean for business its not even comparable id say penn is easily best in the world with harvard and columbia close seconds, but i think its very prevalent in engineering too
wharton is number one
lmfao
or close to number one
yeah
i'm aware of the ranking and status i was just wonderng about things like networking and connections mostly
the people that run in those circles are insane is my assumption
there are also many top companies that recruit from wharton I'd assume
yall when u look at ur finaid portal did the dates update to 12/16. I submitted on 11/06 and just today the status date switch to 12/16 and it made a seperate row and seperated my parents W2 forms
how is everyone doing
has to be i'm sure.. the degree has to buy you a 6 fig salary out of college for sure
6 right out of college might be a stretch
if i graduate iwth a 3.2 i'm sure becuase of the merit of wharton i would still appear as an insane candidate
maybe low 6 figures
I can't speak on that but perhaps lol
focus on manifesting acceptance first
i'm saying 100--120 not like 200 out of the gate lol
🙏 🙏 🙏
alright yeah that makes sense
but those analysts have to be getting PAID
😭 😭 they defo are
im on the rejection simulator once daily just in case
💀
oh i'm on there more than once
ripped it at least 20 times today
probably more tomorrow and weds
can't imagine it throughout the day thurs too 💀
got calc on weds and then physics on thurs
ima get cooked on two exams and then rejected
💀
ggs
my whole week this week is final exams insane work
JESUS
whole week is brutal
i m gonna throw. up
cant focus on tests atp
yep
at least regardless of the decision thurs my only 2 finals friday are APES and ap lang so its nothing terrible
still brutal
I have uchi friday
prolly deferred ea
yikes
yeah
best of luck
im gonna pivot to ed2 if it comes to it
nah
first year analyst at a top bank makes 110k base and maybe 50k bonus
consistent across the 3 bulge brackets
and then like mbb consultant is 95k base 20-30k bonus
jeez
constultant making damn near 100 fresh out of school is diabolical work
considering you spending like 70k a year to go to the school it's not that far fetched
true story
hello upenn please accept me next year with like 75% aid or something
worked to death too
oh it is?
so does that mean
that if i ask for aid
and they dont want to give me aid
theyll deny my ap?
app?
ye
can i drop chem and just keep math physics english and AI if i want to major in AI at upenn
yea it doesnt rly matter
if u take the hardest courses u can theres no difference really between chem and phys
oo okay
im taking the hardest course in all of IB rn
which is math AA HL
i heard its the hardest at least
statistically it's a lot harder to get a 7 in english lit hl
not to be that guy
yes this is AIHL cope
Well im doing great
All exams ive taken till jnow for english
100% score
are you in lit or langlit
langlit
ok lit is different
Ohhh
i take french langlit and it's so light
Okay
but english lit is insane
where are you applying?
oh ok
dont make up your mind yet though.... be open to possibilities
there's a whole whole ahead of you
and godspeed in your ib experience
Yeah
also
the worst thing
for me
is
that im ot in IBDP
im in IBCP
which is the career program
even tho looking at it logically its the more useful program
what school
wha
in upenn
nice
u?
m&t
thats the management thing right
yes
ooooh
i really hope i get in
so that i can actually make something out of my life
but actually im so cooked
going for AI + intl (from India) + need aid + IBCP (not even DP)
ong we're all cooked
but at the same time I'm going to get in
yeah and i won’t
everyone will get in

don’t manifest rejections
ig its a way to cope
it’s been rollercoaster since yesterday 😭
some people just lied that they got their decisions early and made us all check out portals
I'm not an icelandic sorcerer my will has zero impact on the universe
someone has to write on reddit that it was a lie
we’ll find out in 3 days 😈😈😝
its so over 🔥
No we won't. Any result will be pure coincidence in relation to my thoughts on the matter
lowkey
not to make people more nervous
it odesn't mean anything!
how r finals going
it izz what it izz
thats true i was gonna apply columbia ed but then i got lazy and applied to penn instead
likely troll
oh bruh i need to study for that too 💀 💀
you have cai though right
yes
its actually so done for idk why im so ass at probability
they got flamed
0 karma
not sure what that says
highly suspect its u/jealous-oven5872
no idea who that is lmao
ah
i am cooked
w same
yea and im boutta fail my first class🔥
At least for me personally I:
-am not getting any fin aid and perhaps only merit scholarships
-know exactly what a SWE does and I have a CS internship as well as know intimately many SWEs
also I bet a big reason why state schools are lower on rigor is because of in-state admits
errrr i feel like state school is marginally easier
like noticeably so but not like a huge huge diff
Also UPenn lacks much rigor in my fallback major
atmospheric sciences
Purdue, UIUC, UW Madison, UMich all have great atmospheric sciences programs
so certainly for certain majors big state schools are basically the only way
bro its the only way i can get off my ass to write rd lmao
Cmu > penn 😩
that’s still very toxic 😭 yall have to write rd essays before knowing the decision if you got like bunch of school left to apply for
IK BRO IM ACTUALLY GONNA MINECRAFT
Please upenn please take me
Please
Next year
Please
i will die
please
i need to get into upenn
Please
I will apply ED
please
I AM FUCKING BRAINDEAD
I HAVE 283 EXTRA CHROMOSOMES
GODDAMN IT
r u good bro
yall need to chill fr 🙏
dude y r u tweaking rn
darling your life is not going to end simply bc you couldn’t get into your dream college
it’s soo early to stress about things, live your life??
are you just trolling us 😭
bro is applying next year 💀
you have a whole yr to work on you app bud calm down
Nope, ya ain't, I took a wholedamn gap year to be able to reapply to the unis in the states again after 18 rejections. Your life ain't gonna be the worst if ya're not gonna go to your dream uni, perhaps the one ya'll end up at will become the fav of yours
Even if you reach one goal, you're always going to be unhappy until you reach the next one
That's not a good way to live
Living for a school or some sort of academic validation is not the way
Exactly, love this sentence as it conveys the whole truth
crodie leave this server 😭 dont come back until like october
its not good for u
US citizens*
wait omg SAME, I got 17 rejections though lmao
bro
the only friends i have are on this server
get some irl support
?
the nerve the wharton global youth program has to email me and wish me happy holidays rn
no way 💀
that must mean you got in!!!
noooo no no no
i went 🙂 it was super sick
what program did u apply for within wgyp
yeah yeah in person 2 weeks long on campus
there's like different programs tho, there's finance, leadership, entreprenuership, etc.
i did a finance one last summer on campus
what are some of the best ECs i could do for upenn
💀
university of sennpylvania
guys am i cooked? i never log in the financial aid portal cause i thought its done if i submit the CSS profile
will i get the decision on time
You'll get a decision
If you get in, you just won't get fin aid with it
No
Doesn't mean you won't get it all
Just upload asap
OMG! i am cooked but they said i can still upload any financial document
so i will be fine ig?
if i upload it today
@left furnace broo..
bro
upload it
whenever
lke
it wont affect ur acceptance
u just wont get ur aid package on thursday
and you'll have to wait till january
or later
not qualified to give you an answer to that
Don't be rude
People are busy and also their answer won't change the fact that you'll be late
😭 fr

When you said "bro can u check ur DM for once" they aren't your school conselour
so true
2 more days until i’m home 😳
im so ready to go home
2 days till I'm rejeté

i hope everyone did shit.
bro i still need thats shit for my finals 😭

idts…
fuck
where is your final
mines is in myerson
so yeah i think probably different exams then
ximi what r u taking next sem
though idt we’d have any overlap
bro that looks horrendous lowkey
yea ngl i might be cooked
this math is scary
i think i’m doing cis 5200 5500, stat 4830, ling 0500, oidd 2550, nets 3120
3140 and 3600 both look unfun
oh damn
the other one is taught by a new prof...
🥶
its like advanced calc
was gonna take abstract algebra but then my linal and that would be the same new prof and thats terrifying
cuz algebra i heard scks ass
3700?
yea
i never have to take another math department class again 😊
all my math is in ese or stat now
its better if i take it early but like two major classes w the same new prof is just not a gamble id like to take
yeah
makes sense
are they prereqs for hella shit
no but they are just straight up requirements
but also if the new professor is jainqui liu he’s the goat
is it actually with liu
r u fr
i fucking love that man LOL he’s so nice
i had 1410 with him
idk if he’s the greatest at teaching but he like
YEAH LMAO
