Penn Law c/o 2020 Applicants - Pending is better than a Penn ding Forum

[hbdash]

Waitlisted today, responded to the email with a short reply that I want to remain on the waitlist. Do I send a LOCI and the additional two page essay they suggest or only one?

I think the 2 page essay refers to the LOCI.

Aren't LOCI's supposed to be limited to one page?

Is no news good news in terms of long review times? I can't read what this means

[ohgosh]

Anyone here waiting since 2016? Haven't heard anything through all these waves lol

lol yes still UR 1 early December and UR2 since 1/3

maybe our apps were lost

Ahhh, I guess we'll just have to wait it out

Hi!

Does anyone know if the toll reviewers will have access to our general app to the law school or only what we provide via the application?

Also did not see a place for a resume.......which makes me think that perhaps they do have access to the general app?

They have access to the whole application.

Has anybody who's been waitlisted sent in any of the suggested additional information? They recommend a two page essay on "a topic of your choice" - is that an extended Why Penn essay or is that their version of a LOCI? Because they don't mention a LOCI anywhere in the email

I just responded to that email with a very short LOCI (150 words) explaining that Penn remains a top choice and I intend to remain on the waitlist. Got an acknowledgement email a few days letter.
This week I plan on visiting the school and writing a LOCI based on that. You bring up a good point though, I'm not sure if that two page essay is a separate thing or if that is the LOCI. I'll try to find out.
There's really no rush to get in those additional materials. They won't start evaluating us for another 2 months so as long as you have everything by then you should be good.

I think I may do both, a LOCI and the two page essay. Don't think it can hurt, and I feel like if you have more to say than what was in your initial Why Penn then why not just tell them?

I hear, I'll probably do the same, but before I do I just want to confirm that it's okay with admissions. Don't want to send them something they didn't ask for. Are you going to send another LOR, updated resume, etc?

Do you need to email them before you visit? And do you plan on meeting with an admissions officer?

Does anyone know if they call or email you to tell you if you got one of Penn's named scholarships?

[eck456]

Did anyone else have issues uploading their Toll Scholarship video just now?

[Blue664]

Is there a facebook group?

I thought it was due 2/20... unless you were admitted recently and they gave you a new deadline? Mine uploaded smoothly but it was uploaded on maybe 2/16.

UR1 since 2/7. Anyone else?

me as well

[noroomfordoubt]

Anybody else want to wildly speculate when Toll interview invites will come out? March 11 looks like the first notification of interviews the past two years, so I'm thinking maybe March 13 for us?

I have it on my calendar for 3/15 but I don't know how I arrived at that determination! I'm visiting on 3/14 so if I'm lucky I will know the status when I visit...

I emailed to ask this and was told they are aiming for the 10th! Fingers crossed that they're able to keep that deadline

WOOHOO!

I wonder if other named scholarship applicants will be notified of their status around that time too?
