Congrats! I just sent out all my withdrawal emails (had a bit of a family emergency Friday and Saturday so I never really got a chance until now), feels good to be 100% done with admissions. I got to go down to Penn with my parents last night, and show them the law school buildings. And of course buy a few pieces of Penn merchandise at the bookstore.Copacetic1 wrote:checking in also! so excited for next year
I had not sent out my withdraw emails till last evening but Cornell had already withdrew my application in the afternoon when I check the status checker. I highly suspect that they share a ED admission list.iamrobk wrote:Congrats!

Hahaha oh yes. When that elementary school kid wrote it on my hand so many years ago, little did I know it was a sign of my future to come (inappropriate)InGoodFaith wrote:Congrats to the Penn '15 club

Sidebar: I have been watching the videos on ASW and getting sooo pumped!
Haha thanks for the congrats. I'm glad we both made it finally.iamrobk wrote:Congrats!

Going to bump this thread, as I'm wondering the same thing. Would love to go to Wharton MBA program (come from Accounting undergrad), and was wondering if being a law student at Penn would in some way improve my chances?nmilanb wrote:Hi everyone!
I am wondering if any of you know how difficult it is to get into the 4 year jd/mba program? I definitely want to go into law over the short term, bur having an mba would make it easier to transition to something else further down the road and I'd like to keep my options open.
If I were to apply during 1L, I'd have little WE (1 year as a paralegal - internships in multiple embassies). I'm confident that I could get a top score on the gmat, but from what I've read it seems like business schools don't care as much about stats.
Do they factor in 1L grades? Is it easier for 1L students? Do I realistically have a shot without WE?
Any insight you could give would be a great help! Thanks!
You can contact the JD/MBA association and/or current students to get some general ideas. If you can't find the info, email Bayrex and have him point you in the right direction. They referred me to recent grads when I was choosing schools, and the conversations were really helpful in my decision making. I am sure they would love to help you out.MiamiOxford wrote:

The Penn portfolio will have the form where you RSVP to ASW, right? I keep having the paranoia that I am missing/need to be doing something....The RSVP was done on the admitted student website. The portfolio is nice, but I believe pretty much everything in it you can get from the website.DonnaDraper wrote:When are the Penn portfolios going to get mailed? Can anyone from last year comment on this? I am getting impatient
Haha yeah, totally agree on the last point. Thank god I have an easy last undergrad semester now, I can barely pay attention since I'm so excited for Penn (and I know I'll hate myself and be miserable in a year when I get my first gradesDonnaDraper wrote:When are the Penn portfolios going to get mailed?

)I saw that earlier too! People getting decisions made me want to log into my status checker and then I saw it yayaya! It's probably the same information as the website, but getting it in physical form will be nice.iamrobk wrote:Accept Portfolio Sent 01/19/2012
Just accepted on my status checker under the Mailings. Which is odd because it's still the 18th. But cool.
Copacetic1 wrote:Question to the ED people or to anyone who knows they are going to Penn for sure: How many days are people going to spend at Admitted Students Weekend? I am from the west coast, so ideally, I would like to take care of my housing search/ visiting campus/ ASW stuff in one weekend. My concern with doing Friday- Sunday, which is my current plan, is that Friday and Saturday are going to be filled with ASW activities and that will only leave me Sunday to look for housing... Is that enough time/ Are most leasing offices open on Sunday? Will we have time on Friday and Saturday to look for housing?
Can current students who found housing at ASW chime in? Or post the schedule from last year? I've been checking the website for an updated ASW itinerary, but it hasn't shown up yet.
Any input would be greatly appreciated since I want to book my flight and hotel soon! Can't wait to meet everyone.
