Penn C/O 2016 Applicants (2012-2013 Cycle) Forum

[LRGhost]

I would send a LOCI at your earliest convenience but I'm not sure that a slew of people are going to withdraw in the upcoming month or even through April. A number of schools are still handing out decisions and I imagine many applicants want to negotiate scholarships. While there may be acceptances earlier, I wouldn't bank on it being anything big.

[PRgradBYU]

PRgradBYU, are you planning on holding off until when they say they'll review the wait-list, or are you sending it in ASAP?

Are you referring to holding off my LOCI or withdrawing? I sent in my LOCI the same day I received my wait list email, if that helps. I'm probably only going to withdraw if I somehow sneak into H or S, or get another good T-14 offer.

Agh, that's what I figured. FML for being in this position--Penn was one of my top 2 or 3 choices.

Sorry, that was awkwardly worded. I meant your LOCI. Good luck!

Will get my own out as soon as I can, then.

FWIW, there will probably some WL movement, but if you dig through threads from last year for T14s, some people are left waiting until June or July, even.

Still UR2 2/13. I'd say WL but you think they would have by now.

Have I been moved to the delayed-ding?

I'm with you megagnarley. Still sitting on that UCR2 2/13. I sent in a LOCI on Friday, so I'll report back if there is any movement.

Gracias señor. We both seem to be right on the edge. Maybe the jury is still out on us.

I think one was accepted last week or so.

AFAIK a couple got WLed, one got accepted (venus) and the rest of us are waiting to hear back.

[chiach1]

hey guys, i have a question.
just got the wilson scholarship for 60K, will this affect the amount they grant me in need based aid? will i still be eligibilile to obtain other forms of need based aid that aernt loans such as grants etc? and if so will that 60k scholarship siginificantly reduce it?
thanks in advance
