Penn c/o 2019 Applicants (2015-2016) Forum

[MM722]

Anyone know if there's any sort of deadline for initial decisions, particularly acceptances? LSN doesn't show much else besides waitlists and dings this time last year. I applied mid-jan.

I don't know if there's a deadline, but I just got the call this afternoon while I was at work. I applied early February.

Would you be willing to share your stats?

Anyone else still waiting? Feels a little absurd that I still haven't gone to at least a waitlist.

But we're going WL eventually, right?

[berek]

^^That's my guess, given how much of their class they likely fill with their ED rounds. That said, could be they're taking a page from the NYU playbook, and waiting until they have a sense of their yield before issuing a few more late straight acceptances - or the Columbia playbook, and we're secretly on reserve.

Or, y'know, maybe they just don't like us that much :/

Think there's any chance I could get an extension on the Wilson Scholarship deadline to accept and enroll (4/15)? Still waiting to hear back from a few agonizingly slow schools

I'm thinking there's only one way to find out

That's what I figured. Just seeing if anyone who might have tried already (this cycle or before) had any success.

Here.

Can anyone give me a 411 on UPen’s waitlist behaviors? Like do people actually get in from waitlist?

[theconsigliere]

So who here has been waiting the longest?? I know it's not me (UR2 on 2/9) but I'm curious to see how long some people have been waiting now that we're a week into April? Definitely thought decisions would be out by 4/1

Late app as well. lsat at 75th, GPA between 25th and 50th

[berek]

WL here too. Applied early January, but they took so long to put me UR2 that I might as well have applied in March. Ugh.

[jbenn]

WL here too. A little upset it took so long and I did not enjoy the wording of the email.

From what I gather, it varies depending on who you ask. Two good sources to check, funnily enough, are on TLS.

The first is HERE, and it says around 30-40 people get off the waitlist each year, with some hearing back as late as the end of summer.

The second is HERE. It shows what various different waitlisted candidates of different stats can expect. It uses data from Lawschoolnumbers, and considering the sample size bias of Lawschoolnumbers (and the people who report there), the numbers from the first link are fairly consistent with this data.

EDIT: Also, for everyone waitlisted at UPenn, there is this TLS thread for waitlisted UPenn students - come check it out! It would be nice to build a community were all in the waitlists together - This is the thread.

[UPennHopeful19]

Any movement? Or are applicants no longer receiving admission/waitlists/denials on TLS?
