[SybillAnnDorsett]

I could scroll but I'm going to indulge for once in some of the faux pas TLS behavior -

When is ASW?

EDIT - March 31 & April 1

Congrats to all accepted!
Celebrating the fact I did not get a ding/WL email today. Hanging in here...

[RParadela]

I'm still sitting here not even UR1 yet lol. Submitted 1/4, complete 1/19

[guynourmin]

Submitted over 2 months ago, pretty extreme splitter. Feel like not getting WLd was about as well as today could have gone.

[aaron1621]

Chances of ED2 wave tomorrow?

[sigree]

Did anybody that went UCR2 on 1/17 or alter get admitted today? Thanks

Not I either

Admitted Students Weekend

[Question12345]

Anyone who got the call yesterday and status check change still not get the acceptance email? I want to sign in to the admitted students website but haven't gotten my info yet. Should I send an email asking admissions about it?

I haven't gotten anything else either. Tried requesting my username from the admitted students website and it didn't work.

So I decided to analyze Penn's applicant pool on LSN to pass the time while I'm waiting for a decision. I know LSN isn't exactly representative of the total applicant pool but it at least gives us some idea of what they're doing.

For regular decision applicants:
At or above median LSAT and GPA - 23 accepted, 0 rejected, 2 waitlisted (likely YP, both URMs)
At or above median LSAT, 25th-50th GPA - 15 accepted, 2 rejected, 13 waitlisted (looks like both rejected people were international)
At or above median LSAT, <25th GPA - 8 accepted, 4 rejected, 23 waitlisted
25th-50th LSAT, at or above median GPA - 11 accepted, 0 rejected, 6 waitlisted
25th-50th LSAT, 25th-50th GPA - 3 accepted, 20 rejected, 14 waitlisted (2 of the 3 accepted were URMs, the other had just under median for both LSAT and GPA)
25th-50th LSAT, <25th GPA - 0 accepted, 4 rejected, 0 waitlisted
<25th LSAT, at or above median GPA - 1 accepted, 0 rejected, 4 waitlisted
<25th LSAT, 25th-50th GPA - 0 accepted, 5 rejected, 4 waitlisted
<25th LSAT, <25th GPA - 1 accepted, 2 rejected, 1 waitlisted (accepted was a URM)

Current Regular Decision totals - 62 accepted, 37 rejected, 67 waitlisted

Early Decision totals - 7 accepted, 4 rejected, 1 waitlisted
Of the 7 accepted, 4 had at or above median LSATs, the other 3 had at or above median GPAs
Of the 4 rejected, 3 were below both medians, the other was a KJD with a 75th LSAT and <25th GPA

Remaining applicant pool (231 pending)
At or above both medians - 23 (9.96%)
At or above LSAT median, 25th-50th GPA - 77 (33.33%)
At or above LSAT median, <25th GPA - 34 (14.72%)
At or above GPA median, 25th-50th LSAT - 19 (8.23%)
At or above GPA median, <25th LSAT - 6 (2.60%)
25th-50th LSAT and GPA - 39 (16.88%)
25th-50th LSAT, <25th GPA - 12 (5.19%)
25th-50th GPA, <25th LSAT - 13 (5.63%)
<25th LSAT and GPA - 8 (3.46%)

Obviously there are going to be some problems with the data, people are more likely to report acceptances, people with higher stats are more likely to make a profile, etc., but at least it gives us something to look at.

JK just got the email

[Thelaw23]

Honestly as LSAT>75th and GPA<25th I'm surprised I haven't been WL yet. It is giving me hope and I really need UPenn to come through

[genjustice]

Has anyone received their admission packet yet?

[SybillAnnDorsett]

WHY THE SILENCE TODAY, PENN!?

Does anyone think we'll get another wave this week?

Does Penn have its own application for financial aid beyond the FAFSA and CSS? I can't find it online.

[SybillAnnDorsett]

It's 9:57pm and I get an email from the University of Pennsylvania






Bookstore.

Why me?
