how to check the status?? why they do not have a website like columbia. I have used common app to apply, so is there a difference between the common app and penn's own application?

You can't check the status. If you are missing anything, they will tell you.

Also, is an interview necessary/part of the admission?

Nope, I don't believe that they offer them.

The emails of missing materials were sent around end of April/early May if you look in the 2007 Penn transfer thread.

based on last year's thread and when people got their notifications, how close do you think we are from getting our decisions?

2 weeks? i.e. very early may?
3 weeks....?

Why are people freaking out about status and stuff already. If you're so concerned, call them! They'll tell you. The online status will be up shortly, no reason to panic.

If you call, they tell you that they'll be sending out emails. I know from recent (as in today) experience. I think people are "freaking out" because the wait, frankly, blows, and the thought that a decision could be delayed because of missing materials is a scary one. That, and plain curiosity. Why do you think these threads are so popular?

Well hopefully all my things went in alright. Getting another dean's report or midterm report sent in will be a very tedious/annoying process considering my last day of school is Apr 21.

I called and told the lady who answered that I'd gotten notification that my high school transcript was missing and I had sent it in twice -- and since I paid five dollars to have it sent twice I was wondering if she could check the status of my application because I don't want to have to go back to my original high school which is a two hour drive.

Anyways, she bought it and she gave me the status of my app.

Jack you live in Houston? Where do you go?
