what? when i called they said that it was absolutely required. and that they "need to have it." now i wish i hadnt sent it because my grades werent stellar.
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....
i hope they don't mind that i emailed my midterm grade update a day late.
and --- i''m really psyched about penn. i wish you all the best of luck (second best at least ), and i hope we can hang out together in philly next year.
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.
