<p>I recently received a likely letter from one of my favorite colleges, Swarthmore, so I also got the papers for the admitted students visting day. They want me to send in the stuff by the 28th, but I find out about Penn and some others on the 29th. At this point, I pretty much only care about Penn and Swarthmore, with Penn being the slight favorite.</p>
<p>I know that this is assuming that I get into Penn, but the deadlines are really awkward. haha…</p>
<p>Can someone tell me when Penn’s admitted students visiting days are?
Is it rude to attend more than one college’s visiting day? Penn is the favorite, but I definitely would have a hard time letting go of Swarthmore, should the day come.</p>
<p>Over in the Parents Forum there is a listing of Admitted Student days; it says:</p>
<p>UPenn: April 12, 13, 16, 20, and 23</p>
<p>Many schools use “admitted student days” as a way to woo/persuade admitted students to select them over their other choices. I don’t think it’s rude to attend more than one college’s admitted student day; it’s my understanding it’s common practice.</p>
<p>Are you saying that the the reply to date of 28-Mar is only to the Swarthmore event? then by all means, go and accept if you want to go. If you decide to accept Penn in the meanwhile, just go back and decline the Swarthmore admit event. No blood, no foul.</p>
<p>Or even better, go to both schools’ events and let them wine and dine you. It’s definitely not “rude” to attend multiple events. That’s why they conveniently stagger their sessions to allow people to attend as many as possible.</p>
<p>I didn’t want to go for one and be like, “Oh, I’ve already decided on going to another school.” haha. It would break my heart to do that at Swarthmore, but now I know going to the event won’t hurt.</p>
