Oh ok I see, once you’re on that page with “resource is not cached” stay on the page and refresh and it should load the data in

82

I get pages and pages of data

83

You should be able to ctrl F within the code, if you can search “faq”

84

How do you do ctrl F? where do I put my mouse cursor?

85

I think I’ll leave everything alone now. Don’t want the system to crash or something

86

I see 5 “faq” too. Rejected? :frowning:

87

What 5 “faq.” I don’t see that in my data. OK good night.

88

i can’t find “applicant_status” on mine. when i do “view page source” though i get 5 faqs though.

i’m on mac btw, maybe it’s because of that? idk

89

I am on Mac and can go to applicant_status with no problem. I just don’t have the 5 “faq.”

90

really? where do you see it. i suck at computers :confused:… i only have “apply” and “portal”

91

I just did what inkyb1 said to do above

92

weird. when i go down to the portal i only have something relating to layout and rendering. i have this thing that says “apply” on top of it though, and it lists out citizenship and being hispanic (which i am). it also lists out something about addresses

93

I have the same. It said I am a US citizen, etc.

96

figured it out, i was using another link (the link i was using didn’t have “applicant_status”).

i also don’t have the faq

97

98

I also don’t have the faqs after using inspect? So is it like if you have 5 faqs you’re rejected but if you don’t you’re either waitlisted/accepted?

99

That is what inkyb1 said. I have 0/0 FAQ. Will know next week

I think lots of people are confused, so I’ll write a guide:

  1. Log into your Penn applicant portal as usual.
  2. Navigate to view-source:https://key.admissions.upenn.edu/portal/applicant_status (don’t forget the view-source part, it’s important)
  3. You should see code and ONLY code at this point. If you are seeing the normal portal, you messed up.
  4. Control+F (or Command+F on Macs) and search for “faq”.
  5. It should be at lines 35, 37, 39, and 52.

If anyone does not get any hits, please send a screenshot of the code source. I surmise that those who are not getting any hits don’t have their cache on and therefore do not have anything saved when navigating to their Sources tab. This is a more robust way to find out.
