Re: U Penn 2010
Waitlisted as well, not particularily surprised, but obviously would have preferred an acceptance. Having some other good choices takes some of the sting away though.

Re: U Penn 2010
Wow, denied. 3.75/171
Really, really weird timing. I just visited last Friday (it was really nice), had a pleasant meeting with Dean Post (not sure how I even got this, but the secretary "hooked me up"), and wrote her a thank-you letter and a follow-up letter yesterday to the admissions committee. And now a straight-out denial.....not even a wait-list.
As far as I can tell, no red flags on my application, and I'm in at 4 other top 30 schools (the only ones I applied to). Just so weird to me.
Advice: should I follow up at all with Dean Post? Is there any way to inquire about it, or should I just let it lie?
FWIW, she saw me again after our meeting and asked me how everything was going, but she didn't respond to my thank-you e-mail (I'm sure this is over-analytical, but I'm a bit fuzzy atm, sorry).

Yeah, I knew that you knew. I was just continuing the farce.

Re: U Penn 2010
Any speculation on whether 11/25 UR batch of WL's were actually YP's?
I am wondering whether to stay on the WL.
Edit: didn't end up choosing WL.

Re: U Penn 2010
Question: Is the "response" requested in the WL e-mail supposed to be a full-on LOCI type thing, or a simple, "Yes please I would like to be considered"?

Re: U Penn 2010
How do dings and waitlists arrive? Snail mail? Email? Status Checker? What about acceptances?

Re: U Penn 2010
Has anyone who sent in an essay/LOCI in response to being held gotten a response back from Penn yet? Not a decision, but just an email or update saying they received your letter and updated your file?
