Oh, also, for people who know of someone who got in/got in themselves... which college was it for? CAS, Wharton, SEAS, Nursing?

hey people an idea, go and check your online decisions on Penn's site. May be your waitlist letter have been removed if they are planning to take you off the waitlist. This worked for people at Coloumbia's forum who were later taken off the waitlist. And let us know if there is any change.

E-Mail Waitlistees
So, I called Penn's office and they said that all those who are admitted/rejected from the waitlist will receive an e-mail, but come to think of it, I have never received an e-mail from Penn. To confirm receipt of my application, they sent me a letter ... Has anyone ever received an e-mail from Penn?

I am afraid that they won't have my e-mail even though it was on my common app ...

No date and very few specifics. I got the impression that they would be deciding quite soon. Do you know about the e-mail address thing? I have never received an e-mail from Penn!
