[joedf]

For a "Why Penn?" essay, is this referring to one-page optional one on:

"Dean Michael A. Fitts has highlighted the core strengths that make Penn Law the best place to receive a rigorous and engaging legal education: genuine integration with associated disciplines; transformative, forward-looking faculty scholarship; highly-regarded experiential learning through urban clinics and our pro bono pledge; innovative, hands-on global engagement; and a manifest commitment to professional development and collegiality. These are the qualities that define Penn Law. What defines you? How do your goals and values match Penn Law’s core strengths?"

Or is there another place to submit one?

It has to be one page, right?

2nd UCR!

For those of you that applied ED, is there any indication of that on your status checker? The only thing for mine is "Early Decision Agreement (if applicable)." But then at top, it says:

Your application is currently under review with the Admissions Committee. The Admissions Committee is committed to a holistic review of every application. Thus, it is the policy of the Admissions Committee that every file be reviewed by at least two members of the Committee. Therefore, the review process may take up to twelve weeks from the date of completion before a decision is rendered. Thank you for your patience and continued interest in the University of Pennsylvania Law School.

Wouldn't that make it after December? (Applied in late October)

[Yukos]

It's not weird that I've been complete since 9/20 for RD right? Seems like everyone UCR in this thread are EDs.

[JEB]

I've been complete since 9/21 with no movement.

It says that it may take up to twelve weeks, not that it will necessarily take twelve weeks..

Right, but ED means that we get a response by the end of December. If it takes up to 12 weeks, that puts us out of December.

The question being: is there a different header for those who are under ED or is there just the generic one?

No. It's the same for RD. Don't look for some hidden meaning in the header.

Not looking for a "hidden meaning." Just surprised there isn't some sort of indication that it's being processed under ED, but thank you for your response.

So I am still at "received" as of 11/10. Should I call?

HNNNNNNGGGGG

[WhiteyCakes]

Same. Does everyone go through this status?

Yeah, I imagine so. I'd guess this means our apps are being actively reviewed. I'll check to be sure.

I just got excite because damnit, it's the only movement I've seen in a while.

[Yukos]

Just in time for my previous post, just went from "in the queue" to "under review" (gonna try to work that into my next rap freestyle). How many times do they update the status date before you're on the verge of getting your decision?
