Sorry =/

If you don't mind me asking: Do you know about what time your SC updated? Which UR date did you have?
That's ok, I was really expecting a rejection so this I'm fine with I guess... I've been checking every 5 minutes, so it updated very recently. UR2 12/24

Still left from 12/17. Guess this isn't looking good.

So what's Penn's normal decision cycle? Are we to expect something next week? Given that the UR2 Class of 1/6 received offers today, could we expect UR2 Class of 1/8 to receive offers as early as Tuesday?

Mine has the seat deposit (not sure whether it's always been there), and has at some point fairly recently been updated to say Offer of Admission and have a checklist with final transcript, etc, if that helps.

Congrats to the other admits today!

ETA: For those wondering earlier, I wrote the optional essay that was similar to "Why Penn"
