<p>Hello,</p>

<p>Does anyone know if canadian applicants are in the same pool as US applicants? In another words, the international (Canadian) will have separate pool during the application process?</p>

<p>Thanks,
Sunny</p>

<p>1) no, canadian students are not in the same pool with the US applicants
2) yes, the canadian students are in a separated pool in the application process, but they are on their own</p>

<p>Thank you,</p>

<p>Do you know what is the acceptance rate for Canadian ED applicants? Or how may Canadians were accepted by Penn or Wharton from previous years? </p>

<p>I don’t know about ED, but roughly 10% of applicants were accepted.</p>

<p>Thanks, but, I thought it was much lower for international/Canadian students.</p>

<p>Do you guys know if I go to school in the US but I don’t have a green card, however I am a Canadian citizen, what would they consider me as?</p>

<p>Okay, seriously. People need to fact-check.</p>

<p>Thank you for the link.</p>

<p>It is great news though it is hard to believe.</p>

<p>^ That is definitely true. I asked the admission officer in charge of Canadian applicants in person and received the exact same answer.</p>

<p>canadians do actually compete within themselves, but the acceptance rate is higher than other countries’</p>

11

<p>It probably isn’t quite as high as the US ED rate, since many applicants from the US apply ED because of the legacy acceptance rate, which is around 40%.</p>

12

<p>I heard that Wharton or Penn is general will only accept a few Canadians students a year. This seems odd if the chances for ED in Canada are similar to the US ED rate.</p>

<p>^
by a few, u meant how many? penn is very generous to canadians (lucky us :))</p>

14

<p>Obviously less Canadians are admitted because less apply. I don’t think Penn would post blatant lies on their website; if they say everyone is considered in the same pool, everyone is considered in the same pool.</p>
