What's the proper method to send in a "Why Penn" after the fact? Certain e-mail address I should send it to?

Sitting at UR1 since 2/7 and wrote the "team" essay instead of "Why Penn," so trying to add it in now. Thanks!

You shouldn't send it unless waitlisted.

Thank you. Any further clarification why I should wait? I thought I saw some people ITT sending out Why Penn's mid-review.

Because they are inundated with material. Honestly, I don't know how much weight it can have if it's sent mid-review as a "Oh, hey, there's also this!" I didn't do a Why Penn, so maybe someone who sent it can say, but based on exp at other schools, I have heard that they already have a lot to go by. I just feel like it's more likely that that will not get the attention it could get.

Don't forget the bloodbath that was last week.

Was obviously super bummed to get dinged but even more upset when my friend told me he's waitlisted.
Him: 156/3.8
Me: 164/3.8
What's that about? I knew me getting in was a stretch but how did he get waitlisted?

Definitely not a URM... I looked into it and I'm going to appeal. Chances of success are negligible but what do I have to lose?

You can send in a letter and updated materials ie: improved LSAT score, GPA, work promotion, volunteer hours etc. and they will decide to possibly reevaluate your application around the same time they go over waitlist. Like I said, the chance of getting in on appeal is so marginal it's ridiculous. But if you really want to go to a school, why not try?

Are you sure your friend wasn't lying?

He doesn't even want to go... but that's always possible.

[alpwilliams]

Has there been a difference in days before decision if you are accepted, rejected, or wait listed?

Went UR1 2/7 --> UR2 3/11 sometime this afternoon.

As a side note, I sent in a "Why Penn" essay this morning to add to my file, they emailed me back acknowledging it a few hours later, and then some time after that the status changed. Not sure if coincidence or related, but figured I'd share.
