Penn c/o 2015 Applicants (2011-2012 cycle) Forum

Congrats everyone who got accepted!

No I was 12/19 - 1/11, but I submitted way after you, I think. I wrote a badass Why Penn that had some humor/sports reference in it. I can only hope that they will find a female hockey-lover endearing.

I hope they do too! and hope that we're both making the tough M or P decision by the end of the day today. !

It would SERIOUSLY mess me up if I got Penn. I'd have so much thinking/visiting to do.

But look at me getting all ahead of myself.

where have you gotten in so far?

I wonder if it's too late to write one. My personal statement had quite a bit of Why Penn in it, tied back to personal experiences, but I'm thinking it might not be a bad idea to write a dedicated essay. Thoughts? Maybe?

I think if you had enough "why penn" in your ps, I would probably leave it at that. Your application might end up back at the bottom of the pile with an addendum? I submitted an LSAT addendum long after my application was complete, and my status checker updated around the time Penn sent me a confirmation of receipt.

Regretting not writing a Why Penn, but don't think I could have written a meaningful one... And I hate the Flyers (though I'm also female hockey fan!)

Mich, GULC, WUSTL, BC, Fordham, and Uconn.

I feel bad, Jam. I know you haven't gotten a decision anywhere yet.

Oh, eff the Flyers. I'm a die-hard Pens fan.

Don't make me fight you. I'm small but very scrappy.

You know, this is where I talk about how great our hockey team is but then I look at the Caps record and cry myself to sleep (Ovie, why hast thou forsaken us?!)

I can already tell ASW is going to be very... interesting.

I think it's strange with your LSAT score, but I suppose it seems plausible that everyone will use you to balance out their previous admits.

JDizzle: For this to happen, you must forsake NU. It will be hard, but you must.

that's what I'm hoping for. I think a lot of people with similar numbers are having slow cycles

Yeah, there's no way that I manage to get into UVA with my much weaker numbers and you don't.

Just got the acceptance call. What an unforgettable day after getting uchi earlier. Congrats to the other admits and the best of luck to those still waiting.

Crap sorry, at the golf course but I submitted 10/31. That enough? I kinda sucked at tracking UR dates.

unless it was yesterday or the day before

[so_fetch]

I didn't write a why Penn but I live about 15 miles from the school so perhaps it was implicit... He said they were making a lot today and that they just reached final decisions about 2 hours ago on a lot of apps. Good luck everyone!

I'm guessing the 1/3s first, then possibly those of us with second UR yesterday and Wednesday

I am a 1/3'er.....no joke I was starting to write this post and then I got the call yaay good luck to all!
stats are in profile , I was complete 11/9 and UR for first time 11/22 and second time 1/3
also she said there is an email going out later today and also a lot of stuff getting mailed (did not say necessarily that it was mailed today)

[Mr. Somebody]

Has anyone with 1 UR date heard yet (especially those of us who had to wait an eternity to finally go UR yesterday?)

so, so far only 1/3 second URs are in, unless Sean's dates are different?

This is relevant to my interests..

I don't think so. I think we're getting 1/3 second reviews today.
Maybe some 1/11-12 second reviews, but I feel like we'll get calls next Friday.
Then there will be people with 1 UR date later.

Obviously, I made this up
