2 weeks, 5 days, 1 hour, and 37 minutes :slight_smile:

902

This wait is excruciating

903

haha Iā€™ve started a countdown on my phoneā€¦ but I canā€™t decide if it is relieving or contributing to my stress

904

Iā€™m having second thoughts about applying directly to Wharton; but I would rather get rejected from Wharton than get accepted to CAS and wonder what would happen if I had applied to Wharton. (Iā€™m not putting CAS down, itā€™s just that Wharton is the reason why I am so enamored with Penn).

905

Penn website has listed that (Decision) D. Day is Dec 11. And decisions will be posted on Penn Applicant Portal.

Is there a specific time when is the decision coming out?

906

@shivaya I havenā€™t seen the official time for this year, but I know that theyā€™ve released decisions at 5:00 PM EST in past years

907

@amanivy @desie1 ā€œClash of the Interviewers: The Final Battleā€ Coming Soon.

Large Popcorn will be sold at Medium Size Price if you pre-order tickets!

908

Iā€™ve got my opening day tickets @toffys

909

While you guys have your countdown to deadline day, I have my own countdown going lol. T-minus 1 hour 20 minutes until my interview. Iā€™m all spiffy and ready to go.

910

So hereā€™s the plan @jarrett211
You walk in, and if the interviewer offers to shake your hand, you shake theirs, and spit on it. Then you start screaming random racist insults in their face, and top it off by throwing your coffee in their face. You then storm out.

911

Best of luck, @jarrett211 Iā€™m sure everything will go great!

912

@TheWaffleMan149 That all sounds manageable, but there is just one problem: the interview is at the interviewerā€™s house! So I have no coffee to throw. :frowning:

913

So instead, you turn into the hulk
Ten minutes in, you scream ā€œHULK SMASH!!!ā€ and flip the table

914

@TheWaffleMan149 Alright, I think that can be arranged.

915

That would hands down get you a personalized acceptance letter from the dean of admissions

916

Good luck!!! @jarrett211

917

I think this was answered somewhere but I canā€™t find itā€¦ So our response will be either accepted, deferred, or denied. If deferred to Regular Decision, can you get waitlisted as well? Or if you were deferred from ED do they just accept or reject?

918

LET US COMPILE A LIST OF THE BEST INTERVIEW TIPS FOR @jarrett211

  1. SHOW UP DRUNK
919
  1. To fully convey your appreciation of the classics, wear a toga.
