Thanks for the answer! Hmm I hope I'm still up for a scholarship. Oh well.

Dinged an hour ago via e-mail. Not surprising! Good luck to the rest of you.

I guess I can give up on getting a call today. Should've sent in that grade request sooner.

No. You can still get waitlisted off of a hold. Basically you've just been thrown back into the pool, but you should write a LOCI if you really want to get in.

Complete 1/4, UCR 1/27 here with no news today... Spent every minute after 4pm terrified of my email

How are prospects on the Penn WL? I got WL'ed today and I'd like to know generally what others opinions are about this. TIA.

Yeah only Fridays from what I've seen.

i haven't gotten any more penn info after the call (no asw login) so sorry if it's a dumb Q but:
are there stipulations on travel dates like berkeley? i wanted to stay on the east coast longer than just the weekend since i'm out there...

It should automatically be transmitted by LSAC. You can always contact UPenn to advise that you have submitted a new LOR, and to ask for confirmation once they have received it.

I got waitlisted yesterday. I'm going to write an LOCI and send an additional LoR. I have 2 LORs to choose from, one of which is from a prof that got his Masters and PhD at Penn. Would a letter from a Penn alumnus matter or should I just go with whichever I think is strongest?

I would go with the alumnus.

I've been UCR since 1/3 and I'm starting to get a bit nervous. I think my numbers are in the neighborhood (3.8x and 173), and I'm wondering if I should send a LOCI to show them that I'm really interested in Penn. I didn't write a "Why Penn" or anything. Any consensus on whether or not this is a good idea?
