Wait, really?? I've never heard of that happening...rich_4 wrote:dinged today via e-mail... not surprised.
the e-mail did reference specific things I mentioned in my essays, so that was better than nothing. good luck to everyone else!

I haven't noticed anyone getting a 3rd UCR, other than that, 1 is correct. 2 seems correct to me.emcoast32 wrote:forgive me if i've missed something - i was trying to lay low during yesterday's massacre. two questions:
1.) most people get a decision shortly after the 2nd UCR, but not everyone, and some have a 3rd UCR?
2.) it seems like neither your date nor your "batch" (other apps also processed on your date) predicts acceptance/rejection?
Well yeah, it still sucks, but there's something to say for an organization that takes the time to share comments (presumably positive) about you personally when they don't owe it to you and gain nothing by doing so.emcoast32 wrote: lol, yes. i love it when the hot guy shoots me down, but is careful to clarify why he ALMOST liked me.

I think that's the right call, Kevinp. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing so. Are you planning to submit any additional materials?KevinP wrote:After a lot of deliberation, I've decided I'm going to do my best to ride out the waitlist. I'll do what I can to get off and hope for the best, but I've accepted that I might have to reapply next year.
I'm happy that I've been given such chances, and I wanted to wish the best of luck to those of you still waiting.
Where have you gotten in so far KevinP? I remember your numbers were great. Best of luck to you man.KevinP wrote:After a lot of deliberation, I've decided I'm going to do my best to ride out the waitlist.

really? that's good to know... Do you know how many people Penn normally accepts off the waitlist?Doorkeeper wrote:In today...will probably be withdrawing when my cycle is complete.
To those who are on the wait list: Keep hope alive if you want Penn. They will pull from it.

From the TLS Penn Law profile:
The law school also admits a significant number of waitlisted applicants each year: 30 to 40 out of a pool of several hundred. Waitlist review begins in May, and candidates are sometimes accepted late into the summer. The committee invites waitlisted candidates to remain in contact and even submit additional materials, including extra letters of recommendation, new grades, and updated resumes.
So did they comment on the things they liked? I wonder if they do this to all rejections... I will almost definitely get a WL, but now I kinda want them to reject me to see what they have to sayrich_4 wrote:cogitoergosum wrote:Wow, this makes me like Penn even more... beyond classy.ralph_pootawn wrote:Went back and read my rejection and noticed the same thing.hypothalamus wrote: Wait, really??
