i called penn, they said you dont really need to give your mid term report if the professors dont want to give it to you..

they said it will just help you more..

but not a strict requirement = they wont cancel your application for it


also, if you got the packet for fin aid, you dont need to fill it up if u filled out the fafsa and profile online!

blinktwice - I'd say you still did the right thing. not sending your grades at all would have most likely put you at an even greater disadvantage than choosing to send your less than stellar grades. if you didn't send your grades at all, then what do they know, you could be failing all your classes...which is probably not the message you want to send.

when can we expect to hear back from Penn? When do we get our decisions?

I understand that it says mid-may...but does anyone have any more info than that? I looked at the thread from last year and most people got theirs in the 1st 10 days in May. That's still far off....ugh....

bumppp...

apps have been in for a month or so, waiting is killing. i'd say we're about 4-5 weeks away from decisions.

anyone send in supplemental materials like resume, activity sheet, music recording, and so on?

anyways, hopefully we can keep this thread active, and update each other about receiving post cards, letters, and any kind of correspondence with the admissions office.

They said: "No worries! We have just begun to read transfer applications now. Your application will definitely be considered."
