Did anyone else get WLd straight from UR1 (1/5)? Any thoughts on why I didn't get UR2? I am 99.999% sure I didn't miss the UR2 status change (I check three times a day every day).

Ouch bummer. Maybe without needing much deliberation they are sure you are competitive but are waiting to hear back from other applicants? They seem to be accepting a lot of high GPA/ lower LSAT reverse splitters so maybe they want to hear back from some of them before making similar admits. This is pure speculation on my part...

WL today via email LSAT<25 GPA>75 so nothing unexpected. UR2 1/5, top choice if by some miracle/mistake I could get off the wait list

[DrSpaceman]

First ding. Have fun in Philly, you crazy kids.

Damn. Penn's bloodlust seems to really beat out any other school so far. This is brutal.

+1 They seem hard to predict... aggressive YP, not splitter friendly, and low admit rate. I'm guessing I'll join the reject/WL pile soon.

Wait listed yesterday <25 LSAT, >75 GPA. UR2 12/22. Wanted to make sure you all knew so that you could add it to that awesome list of URs/Admits/Denials/Waitlists.

Is there a Penn wait list thread? (If not, can someone who is able to make one make one?!)

I just got a Silvernman-Rodin scholarship invitation to apply. It says there are at least 2 given out each year, does anyone know how many people are invited to apply? And if the anything other than your essay is considered after being invited. Also does this mean I am no longer in the running for getting invited to the Levy Scholarship?

Any information would be really useful, cannot find much with my quick look online.

I got an email today from Penn asking me to interview with no explanation. I looked through past Penn threads and the only interview invites were for ED candidates, I am RD. Did anyone else get this?

That's not an interview invite though is it? My email just mentioned sending in an essay.

No, sorry. It's an invite to apply with an extra essay, not an interview invite. You're right.

Got an invitation to apply for the Levy! Just an essay submission, not an interview. They say no word limit, but "brevity is encouraged". Any idea what this means? 2 pages?

I looked through last years thread and general consensus was 1-2 pages double spaced.

Thanks for looking this up, Auxilio. I think TCR is probably that anything longer than your PS is too much, but you should be able to make it a page.

[Mack.Hambleton]

o shit, i thought we had to do all four essays when I first read it

[strugglebus]

Also got Levy invite today!
