No action for me today. Fingers are crossed for tomorrow.

[frix0803]

looking for some advice here: got "hold for further review" today (I applied ED). What can i do at this point other than waiting? The email does ask for additional materials, if i would like adcomms to consider any. I won't have any more grades any time soon, and maxed out on the number of recommendation letters (all 4). So, should i send that why penn/5-year-plan essay?

[Lurkster]

I'd say the why/5 year would be a good move, and take your time crafting it to make sure that it is as compelling as possible. Considering the hold, it probably won't make a difference in terms of time if the essay is in tomorrow vs. two weeks from now.

Another acceptance popped up on LSN today... 3.35/174, Penn undergrad. Just wanted to keep us all up to date.

Sorry to hear about that, man. Deferral > Ding though, hopefully you'll be able to slip in through RD, they must have seen something they liked.

Yeah, I wish I would have gotten accepted so I knew for sure where I was going but I had actually begun worrying the last few days that I'd be accepted ED and then get into Columbia or NYU by some miracle. It could be a blessing in disguise.

+a lot. Why did I pay the fee?

And to the poster above, I agree. I wouldn't have applied binding ED anywhere because you never know what can happen in the process and whether your mind could change over these long months.

It could mean the reverse.

YP = ding as well, so there's no real difference.

I meant that status checker movement = ding, and no change = acceptance/still deciding...

[MC Southstar]

So what happened today? Some more acceptances and dings?

High marks for casual cruelty.

I'm kind of drunk right now... just wanna find out what the casualty report is. O_O

EDIT: So I guess some people got requests for fall grades, a few acceptances, and a few outright deferrals? I'm still at UR 11/11 so... *crosses fingers*

for instance, if i know i am no longer bound to Penn i can apply to schools i haven't yet but otherwise i don't wanna waste the fees

This won't be me. Penn is absolutely my first choice, so I'm going to do whatever I can to get accepted.

Word of caution to you current Penn acceptances: Burberry may be interested in thinning the herd.
