Re: U Penn 2010
Whoever started reviewing mine must have had a good laugh and passed it on to one of his reviewer buddies to break the monotony, hence the 11/5 update.0L Hoping for 1 wrote:I am under review 10-26. I have not updated since then

Re: U Penn 2010
Just went "Under Committee Review" today! I was previously just "File Complete". Is there a difference between "Under Review" and "Under Committee Review?"

Can we all just ease my neuroticism and agree that the date changes mean nothing on any status tracker? Please?

I'm going to assume so... I'm not expecting a decision until December.

Re: U Penn 2010
For ED candidates, did you write the supplemental essays? I've always assumed they were to show a serious interest in Penn, but ED takes care of that.
Ultimately, my diversity statement is weak and I have no idea where I'll be in 5 years, but am applying ED. Should I submit additional essays or just roll with it? Penn is (obviously) my number 1 choice and my stats are 171/3.57. Do I need the additional essays to be considered with my lower gpa?
