like i was reading other kids' columbia supps
for the list prompt
and it was so fun to read
i was like yup. they're geniuses
like i bet the admissions officers just have fun reading them
That guy is so clutch
ong
not really i owe the guy so much
like if i get an engineering degree
im going to his house and invite him for some black angus rib-eye steak, free of charge
its crazy i still don't know the guys name, he genuinely clutched me from dozens of finals
goddamn
I wrote mine to my lab
its really honestly the way you write it and frame it
like i wrote to my dad
thats pretty generic
but its the way you word it
its not just
hey, ur a great dad, thanks
yk?
real lol
wait i haven't seen a guy write about the organic chem tutor
i guess its only me lol
WAIT
where can i see what other people wrote in that specific essay???
ah yes, "Dear Mrs. Buttons" ahh essay
you cant unless u talk to other applicants
to be honest
I wanted to write to a certain Henry in a game called Firewatch
because they did him so dirty with that game's ending that I actually felt sorry for the guy
my friend wrote to her teddy bear
Wtb the dominus in rocket league
n she got in
like top schools EAT THAT SHIT UP
they did it even more dirty after psyonix was bought
fr they want character, don't be generic
Man henry deserved that letter
im just worried that my personal statement wasnt good enough
and my academics arent the best
so fuck me
but the organic GOAT had to be the one i sub my application with
i remember a guy wrote about wishing to be a clownfish as a kid
he got into a t20 im p sure
i dont think the statement is a limiting factor unless u fucked up in ur ecs and/or don't got any
nah it was my history teacher who basically made me super passionate about history and helped me do all my research and get into Oxford (which I didn’t include on my app)
yeah well mine was just mid
Well ik penn is one of those schools who highly value gpa
no one from my school has gotten into penn in 9 years
its only me and this other kid and he got deferred ed
he bragged about lying on his ecs 😭
Your sign to minimize your competition
Lmao
ok this is so fucking odd but you have the same name as this one girl who rlly wants to go to penn but shes breaking nyu ed1 for it & theres another guy in my school who did this and withdraw from ed but did rd to penn.
now if i didnt know any better....
😭😭
nah i know
lmaoo
ima crash out if he gets in genuinely
but were from the same city too
ooo
chances of this is insane
LOL
😭
penn is a dream bro
her talking stage that left her goes there.. she talked abt him a lot recently
😭
nah anyway i wish u luck
i hope you get in instead of her
lmaooo
tysm 🙏🏻
bro we used to be friends and i said i hope i get in and he doesnt after i found out he lied ab his ecs and he found out and crashed out on me in the middle of the jallway
lore goes deep
yea
bro our guy got a likely from yale
but his ecs are so fake
3.7 I’m cooked
dw my middle school grades r on mine 😭😭😭
he uses buzz words to hype them up
So im automatically fuckedd
his non profit is given to some stuy kid
I don’t feel like they count tho
but he still calls himself president + founder
its used for ur gpa still
i have a 94/100 idk what that is on a 4.0
3.8-3.9
ouch
wdym ouch
bro thank god i was a geek in middle school omg
it lowers ur grade, hate middle school grades
bc we were told
What are ya’lls other options
me and my sister share a room and i couldnt do virtual for the life of me
do yall think i got a shot if i got waitlisted from umass and virginia tech💔
no matter ur grades you would still graduate
We meet again
yes yield protection trust
im js manifesting
bro my school says our gpa is weighted but it makes no sense cuz they only weighed 2/3 aps on my transcript
and we can only take aps in junior and senior year
Me too gng
i was forced to put “weighted” for my gpa
even tho my gpa isnt actually weighted completely
my school da not setting me up for success
how dont they fear about getting caught or smth
idk
my cousnelor is also ass
sorry not sorry she forgot to submit 3 of my mid year reports
not like she would notice
u should report him so better chance for u
i think its too late for that
yea
ON ALL UR SOULS were all getting in
ON YOUR SOUL I’m getting into Yale ||I didn’t apply there||
Dawg i wish ivy day would be sooner
idt it matters
people have gotten their degrees revoked post grad
on everyone's soul except mine im getting in
true
i js passed luigi
i think you can just tell them to do proof check or smth if you want
why was everyone wearing green on penns campus today
lol
yes today was our pattys because we had spring break last week
oh that makes sense
Me
But I might not get in. My supps were a little lame
Instead of thanking my counselor I should've thanked Lin Manuel miranda
me
oh shit. yeah. you shouldve.
i was so unoriginal
bro
i got rejected and waitlisted from all of my schools except for my safety
like now i just have penn and columbia
im cooked
I wrote about how I learned that the process of applying to college wasn't the end all be all and I could pursue my goals and achieve them regardless of that
And like how my counselor led me to that understanding
But the word limit was so small
And the way I framed it probably sounded generic
lol same
3:2:2 waiting for 7 more
but it’s looking like rutgers might be the move it’s over 😣💔
yes
wait is it bad to have referred to upenn as just penn in my supp
or am i just tweaking
Ummmmm I don’t think so
ppl call it penn lol dw
Its sooooo bad
yeah bro u missed a whole letter now they think u acc wanna go to penn state and they autorejecting u smh🥀
💔💔💔
Lmao
I wrote it to my friend
Does Penn recalculate GPA? Because my GPA sounds impressive until they realize my school gives AP Physics C the same weight as Health or Advanced Acting
i wanted to ask that too
They will look at ur school’s circumstances n judge ur gpa off of that yeah
but do they recalculate like 9-12
my school didnt even weigh one out of the three aps i took last year but told me to put weighted for my gpa
everyone calls it penn, either penn or upenn is fine
unoriginal better 99% of the time
the prompt referred to it as penn lol
yeahh i think that may have been why i did it, looking back (and not remembering the prompt exactly) i was j worried for a sec that it'd get mistaken for like penn state or smt (which not to undermine that school but obvi that's not what i intended)
thank u guys!!
actually, most penn students call the school penn, most people who don’t go there call it upenn
3 more days
ok
lwk the penn portal has aura
ok
u js like me fr

2 more days
Crazy
46 hours 39 minutes
Who else got deferred in ed?
Does penn defer a lot of people?
Sure once we see each other on campus😭
about 10-15%
Type shi😭😭
I think I spent more time on my LOCI than my common app essay
compare loci is crazy bruh just wait 2 days u cant be that delusional
Oh I definitely can 0o
i dont want to be a hater but on god
aren't you an alumni? Why didn't you set up a meeting w/ me 😭
get in first 😝
Defer was in ED right? now its only accept/reject/waitlist
I was deferred by Wharton.. so lets see but I already got in Ross + CS so no big deal
you instate?
Yes I’m I also got in UCLA UCSD UCI UNC
sure
only reason this school goated is cause its in the best city in america
IM IN
howd y know😭
im built dff
whats ur results so far?
2A/2R
yeah but like which schools
2As are the safeties(temple & thr is one more i forgot which one tho imma have to see) and rejections are from lehigh and washington smth
too good
i must assume u are from Pennsylvania
im an intl lol
fair enough
wby where did y get into so far
um
likewise!
BERKELEY
u got in early?
yeah
aura
I’m gonna have aura when I get into UPenn
Real
Fuck yes
yes but isnt penn need aware
why would the FA office finalize my docs if im getting rejected
im geniunely asking not trying to cope
I get what you mean but the mods are kinda tight abt that type of speculation
All good
anyone got anything incoming from usps? pa
well it took like 3 weeks for the ed packages to come in
idk if they are doing it quicker for rd
bc they receive ur documents not ur application
i dont wanna get into astrology so ill just dm you
some people said theyre receiving packages from exton pa but thats reddit
I’m pretty sure that guy was international
Incase you’re domestic
well idk whats happening in exton
philly has its own distribution center
Im p sure penn is need blind
shrug
wait does this count as portal astro
yeah and some colleges don’t use usps
wait how do I know if there's an incoming package?
yea they dont ship ts early
wait really? i got into jhu but i don’t have any incoming mail in my informed delivery thing
probably sending in batches
when did yours arrive
do u mean january
definitely not getting in, i think my thank you supp was too cliche 💀
whod u write about
used lots of the same supps for nu and got rejected… so i think i know how my penn decisions gonna pan out 💔💔
my twin brother who also applied 💀
i have no clue LOL
i mean i dont think itd be cliche because very few people have twins let alone twins who are both applying to penn
yeah i think there’s definitely a way it could work but i think the way i wrote it was just very cliche and vague (i rushed my apps the days they were due cause i was vacation 😭)
so not expecting much but we’ll see tomorrow
same
i wrote it to my violin teacher
but i did a lil reflection at the end
and i got deferred ed
wharton
that supp is probably rhe one thats weighed the least
i lowkey forgot what i wrote for all my essays
Honestly, I thought I cooked with some of my essays but got rejected for less competitive schools so I dunno anymore.
which schools
damn 😭
UIUC and CMU. (Technically I was waitlisted, but with their waitlist -> acceptance rates, I basically categorise them as rejections.)
i applied CAS
cs?
CS + Physics for UIUC and Physics for CMU.
uiuc cs is prettu tough and cmu is probably tougher
at that point theyre not indicative of other schools
real
its just a gamble
Uuukay, that gives me some hope! Hopefully I'll roll the dice and get some favourable numbers tomorrow.
good luck man
it only takes one
Yessss, good luck to you too!!
What are you guys's college decisions yet
If I don’t get into any Ivy leagues I’m going to washu
if i dont get into any ivies, if i dont get off waitlist at any schools and dont get good aid from the schols i got into, imma go to my state school
same
lowkey kinda disappointing
i’m going to williams if tomorrow backfires
good backup
decisions <t:1743116400:R>
what if you dont have backup
Same
stay home, stay safe.
same
but i also got into much more competitive schools too, so dont think on it too hard, its a diceroll as everyone here says
once ur past a certain minimum requirement its just a lottery ngl
anyone here apply to bsn ?
The thread’s name is University of Pennsylvania (UPenn)
the portal shows an option to withdraw my application
excited for my cc in penn!
I see it too
I assume it's for students who might already be committing or be committed to another school
wait did they just add this?
if so that's funny af
yeah i can also submit
damn lol i thought it was portal astro for a sec
ye
hhhh ivys never have myth

one person out of like 62 active rn got in lmao
thats crazy 💀
my friend got accepted !!
get me off the waitlist somebodty
when the loci due
how many does Penn accept from the waitlist generally
Don't forget to answer the poll
it said 40-150 i think
GUYYSS I GOT IN WAITLIST
this is for last year but keep in mind waitlist statistics can vary wildly year to year
does upenn get people of f the waitlist
when does upenn waitlist come out
i would say if you got wl tentatively start loving your other option; if you get into penn off wl it will be massively lucky and not for a while
try not to think about it
Holy shit ONE acceptance on the poll?
got any idea when waitlist comes out?
sorry i was never on the wl and didn't closely follow 🥹
is the waitlist done by school
whats the chance to get waitlist from penn?
I’m in shock
how do you know it's 2308🤔
Its mid dw
what is mid
For ib recruiting at least
We’re falling off for recruiting more and more every year lmao
oh
sorry
i can't
absorb
wharton criticism
unhealthy obsession
now I'm sulkinh
Tbh ur better off at a semi target if ib is ur goal
Or at like pton/yale or something
I've been dreaming about wharton for the past 3 years

Did Penn send you guys a status update email BTW
They sent an admissions decision notification on Thursday for me!
no thats the one week reminder
Yeah I got that one too
no
Not a status update email, though.
do people get off wharton waitlist or am I just done for
what are the chance to get waitlisted at penn
same question
pls give me some hope
waitlist
Penn unwaitlist me pls
Does Penn have an admitted students Discord or Instagram
welcome, fellow kevin
what if i told you my name isnt kevin
HAHAHAHAHAHA
breh
ru a transfer?
yes!
oh fr lol me too
i originally went to umich
im a soph
ahh i c
Can sm add me to admitted discord
Add me
me as well por favor
Hiiii I sent h a verification picture
Is this true for premed
Is it hella competitive
yes
~1250 get into ed
Penn has a yield rate of 70% so lets say 1800 admitted thru rd
Only about 1250 will attend out of the 1800
Craz
Crazy
Bru what will admission to ivys look like in laters year after dis 😭🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️💔
should’ve been born in 08 or sumn
🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I swear there was only like 58k last year
Why r they increasing so rapidly
They worded it like rd applicants only
Oh shit
The article says 72k
Mb
4.23%
Still like a point and a half lower than last year
Geez
I heard the freshmen econ math professor was buns
1070
are waitlists different for each school within penn?
pretty sure yeah
ohh I see
what are the odds I can get off the SEAS waitlist 💀
fuck upenn
near impossible
How do I decide between Penn and Brown bro
reject both and give themt o me

cas?
premed?
No
Double major in Poli Sci and French
Which is why I’m leaning Brown lol
But I’m gonna tour both
Cornell is out of the picture because of price and my majors
i know 2 ppl but its insanely rare
likethey got off waitlist the absolute last day
HELP I JUST OPEND MY DESCIONS I GOT WAITLISTED HALLAUAH
Is getting off the arts and sciences waitlist hard?
can i send an additional lor for the waitlist
wharton
Where is my fin aid
You can find it under your decision letter
Or just in the portal
Hi!! Just got in, intl from Mexico, looking for friends!
.
I agree with the nursing student
Yeah, I’m definitely leaning Brown, especially since I’m double majoring in Poli Sci and French
withdrawing from the waitlist good luck all ❤️
thank you
stanford 29?
ur built diff
yup!
I got rjected from like everywhere but umich and waitlisted at whatron
why did they do this to m
real shi
the yield cant possibly be that good
are there any waitlist threads
ty
Is there a penn m&t thread?
how easy is it to change majors? the 4 college system makes it seem a bit more difficult
Does UPenn cover any travel expenses for quaker days?
u a m&t?
is there a way to send additional info for waitlisted students? apart from just opting in for the waitlist
getting off any waitlist is hard but i would do everything in your power to try
you should email and ask tbh
yes
upload to portal
within the colleges its pretty simple but cross-college is harder however inside CAS they also offer an engineering degree though and stuff like that
How’s dating culture here
How r guys there
people on sidechat say its absolutely shit lol
lots of situationships from what i can see
however im not in the pool so idk
could be just more ppl are vocal when complaining
it’s hookup
