WLed today. Penn isn't exactly my top choice so I'm contemplating withdrawing and might given that they're not reviewing till mid-May, after most seat deposits are due.

FYI, UR2 1/15 and UR1 12/11. GL to everyone moving forward and congrats to everyone who got the call. On to the next one.

Yep. WLed today, UR2 1/15, UR1 12/11, and went complete in late November around Thanksgiving. Hope that helps.

I honestly do not think that Penn necessarily is splitting up their applicant pools based on submission, completion, UR1, or UR2. I think they are building their class based on what they want and need as they go on. Whatever trends might appear seem to be artificial to me IMO.
