fingers crossed......
What are your numbers NZA? you can PM me if you want or keep it totally to yourself, no problem. Just wondering because I'm right on the fence and have similar datesNZA wrote:UCR 1/25, this is round two for me. Nervous. The best I can hope for with my numbers is a WL, but the glory of an acceptance would certainly make me feel better about everything.
EDIT: Or they could count Native Hawaiian as a URM. That would be pretty great, but extraordinarily unlikely.

Oh, I don't mind having my numbers out there (they're in my LSN profile, too):modmx wrote:What are your numbers NZA? you can PM me if you want or keep it totally to yourself, no problem.

I did something of this sort. I realized I had not put in enough interest initially, and added a statement of specific before my 1st review. The office will tell you that they will take anything as long as a decision is not reachedCM612 wrote:I know the subject of sending an LOCI before hearing a decision has been kind of discussed to death on this forum, but I'm wondering if anyone has sent one to Penn?
Penn wasn't originally my first choice but my SO just got a great job in Philly so our plans have kind of changed. Suddenly I feel like I didn't put enough effort into my application and maybe I should submit a Why Penn. I submitted the art/lit essay with my application.
Any suggestions?
Oh fantastic, thanks. I'm pretty sure that my art/lit was pretty shitty (although, seriously? that topic? can they blame us for writing shitty responses?) but I didn't really know what to put in a Why Penn. My ties to the area are super obvious: I grew up here and currently have a great job here, but now that I've done more research I think I can write a pretty good one.modmx wrote:I did something of this sort.

Yeah. I was an art history major so I felt like I had to. Now I'm thinking it was maybe not such a good idea. Thanks for the advice!modmx wrote:the literature essay was tough. I started it and stopped because it was going nowhere. But props to you for undertaking that.
now spill your heart out in that 1 page specific interest essay and hope for the best. good luck
Cmon guys, lets get into a positive mode! acceptances across the board tomorrow. lets do this shitwhitman wrote:I'm thinking tomorrow is decision day. UCR 1/10-->1/20. I'm expecting a waitlist with my low GPA and atrocious literature essay, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
