Does anyone know if the wave of waitlists means they're done making calls for the day?

Add me to the WL.

Very disappointing but unsurprising. This one I might ride out.

Waitlisted as well, will likely be withdrawing. LSAT>75 and 25>GPA>50.

I'm glad I don't qualify as YP but I'm sure it must be so frustrating and unfair for those of you who do, especially if you are actually interested in the school. They need to completely eliminate yield rates as a factor in the rankings.

I've been accepted into 3 t14s, rejected at 1, and now wait listed at 2.

This one is especially sad to me seeing Penn is my top choice...

Ouch. Sad day. :(

Really sorry about that, completely sucks.

Has the SC been changing prior to admits or dings? (sorry if I missed this on a previous page!)

Updated for a new page.

Obviously I like Penn's employment data, but I have fallen in love with the school through the admissions process. They are easily my favorite AdComm, full of both fun and professionalism, and I'm sure they reflect the culture of the rest of the school. I'm looking forward to visiting next month at the ASD. Without a doubt, Penn is my top choice (as long as the money is right).

Good I'm not the only one who isn't sure if their UR is 1 or 2 (2/9 as well). Submitted around 1/10 so my guess is UR1. Good luck to those who hear back today!

Not sure if this really matters, but you might be UR2. I submitted on the 7th, went complete on the 22nd, went UR1 on the 26th and UR2 on the 9th. Haven't heard anything today, but I'm hoping we all do.

Sakari is the same. Don't lose hope! Hillz had to wait nearly two months from her UR2.

Thanks guys! I've had a lot of fun with the tracking. The time spent with it really increased my interest in Penn. I'll definitely keep updating as we progress through the cycle.

Thanks for the heads up, that's right around when I went complete too so I guess there's hope for today after all.
