Twitter basically announced their decision friday fyi

Or their excitement for the weekend? I can't tell. Would they have three decision days in one week?

I interpreted it as excitement for the weekend.

Ditto to those above, I read it as "Thank God we're done for the week" (two decision days). Plus, they're #sooverdecisionfriday

The poor staff member who called me yesterday said "Have a great night!" It was still morning. I think they're tired.

When I got my call yesterday, I relayed how much I loved their tweeting. She laughed and said how much fun they have with the process, which is wonderful to hear as an applicant (particularly a TLS applicant). I love how professional and fun Penn Law is, and it seems nowhere is this typified better than in the AdComm.

That's what I thought. I thought they were celebrating getting decisions out yesterday so they can leave at 5 today. Although that would be in poor taste (hooray for dashing people's dreams!), and they're probably smarter than that. Who knows.

How does Prompt 3 for the Levy Essay differ all that much from a Why Penn?

It feels silly to spend 1-2 pages boasting about accomplishments.

PLEASE DON'T QUOTE

[daedalus2309]

The only people who can answer you is the competition. Not sure why they would, to be honest. Not a lot of Levy's out there.

Penn's need based application is due March 1st - do applicants who don't yet know if they have been admitted/WL/rejected also have to submit? Berkeley sent me an email asking that I submit their individual need based application even though they haven't told me what my application status is.

I'm not positive, and maybe people have better insight, but when I submitted NeedAccess and FAFSA for other schools, I included every school I was applying to so I'd only have to submit once, so I assume that they can receive the files even before you've been admitted.

This is what I did as well.

Is there a limit to how many schools you can indicate ? I seem to remember something like ten but I applied to more schools than that

You can submit 10 schools for the FAFSA. You can enter in 16 schools at a time on NeedAccess, but then after you pay for it, go back and delete schools and resubmit to apply to new schools.

Seconded - also for FAFSA you should separate by which schools require parent info and which ones don't. Berkeley, UVA, GW all require parent info on FAFSA even though you are a graduate student and FAFSA will tell you that you technically do not have to.

Sorry to change topic, but what do people think the chances are of an admissions wave this week? It looks like a lot of us went UR2 last week so that seems like a promising sign.

Without being too bold, I would say it is almost guaranteed. Penn has had weekly decision days since the first one (excepting the two holiday weeks and the week of 1/19-1/23) and there are still ample candidates left to decide on (47 pending UR2s on TLS).
