Hi everyone,

I've never posted before, but I felt like now was a good time considering how useful I've found these forums.

I received a phone call from Penn on Thursday re: my interest in attending. Penn has been my top choice and goal since I began contemplating law school, so of course I was very enthusiastic. I then received a call today that I was accepted!

I sent one LOCI.

I am so excited!

165/ 4.07 ...maybe they are looking for reverse splitters/GPAs? (for once...). What are your stats?

Congrats to Read114! :)

but so is my LSAT... Since they seem to be slowly trickling through the WL, they may be replacing people who are withdrawing with WLers who have similar stats. so if you're showing interest and another 170 LSAT withdraws, you'd probably have a great shot!

I lived in Chestnut Hall as an undergrad..super close to the law school and really nice for West Philly. Many students choose to live downtown, but this is great if you want to live on campus. It is full of grad students and residents at the hospital and does not feel like a dorm.

Well, here's the deal. It's not GREAT, but the other on campus apartments and apartment manager's are arguably worse. Nothing in West Philly is great unless you pay for the snazzy buildings, but those are largely for professors and others who have the money to spend. I know lots of MBA's live in 1900 Locust downtown.

Just got in off the waiting list! Got the call on Monday gauging my interest. I was very interested but didn't want to pay sticker. The admissions office was really helpful and gave me a potential financial aid package based on my need. 70K! I was brought up to the committee today and accepted. As of right now, I am attending!

For those of you interested in my stats...

3.95/170 non-URM and never sent a LOCI....

So are we at the point where waitlist acceptances trickle out one per month for the rest of the summer, or could there still be a "wave"?

I don't think it will be a wave. The last e-mail I received from Dean Post said she hoped to give another update mid June
