Even more awkward if it’s like “Where did you meet your boyfriend?” “We met on college confidential” no?
“To be honest one of my biggest fears about college is that I’ll meet people that end up being hardcore partiers when my actual idea of fun is sitting in a dorm in a small group to just talk… I sound so antisocial LOL”
There are a lot of “work hard, play hard” people at Penn. Plenty of weekend parties, but hardcore 24/7 partiers will be gone after first term. If you have an engineering or hard science major, you are going to have a s**t load of work to do.
There will be some high school nerds who think they at Frat Kings now. lol Must keep up with the work. Getting behind is easy, and catching up can be hard. Especially for freshmen who are not used to competing at this level. Getting off to a good start is important.
Hey guys, I have a question… there is no contact between us and Upenn till decesion date right?
the only time they email us is for the interviews? Besides that, there’s no extra email or anything right?
@Rohitmohit besides the email for setting up your interview, just an email reminding you to set up your portal! tbh i wish there was more contact so I can relieve this impatience a bit more o.0

Decesions will be available through the portal guys!
LOL Our staff will be available to address any queries beginning 9:00 am est Monday, December 14, 2015.
They know addressing questions on the 11th is a bad idea
I’m going to be so scared to open the portal though…
Omg same @Makooks
I wonder if I will actually be able to bring myself to do it on the 11th
Im thinking of having someone else do it for me 
@VaishS I’d be afraid there’d be an awkward silence, broken eye contact and quick shake of the head. That’s worse for me than just taking a nap and ignoring calls. xD
I absolutely must be the first person to see. Nobody is going to tell me that I was rejected. IMO that is worse
I’d have to check myself. The other way could be much too awkward. Plus isn’t there music or something that plays? So the silence would basically be an answer. Still haven’t decided if it would be better to check right away but in public or wait until later… both seem like bad options.
@MrPres that is exactly how I pictured it
9 year old sisters aren’t like that 
But yeah idk what I’m gonna do
This wait is downright painful
Now that I think about it, a couple years ago i had to have a friend check my AP scores for me since it wasn’t loading on my phone and that was bad enough (i didn’t even do bad- just a couple 4s)
My friend told me she would open it for me, but I feel like having someone else open it and tell you the bad news is 10X worse than just seeing it for yourself.
Yeah, imagine being the other person and having to tell someone they didn’t get in to their dream school.
I have a televised competition the next day, so I don’t know if I should check on the 11th. If I don’t get in, I’ll be out of it for the competition, but if I don’t check, I’ll be thinking about it and be distracted. 8-X
Ya my friend said she wanted to bake me celebration cookies and come over to celebrate that afternoon and be there when I find out but I had to tell her she couldnt be there. Especially not with cookies because if I didnt get in those would just be sad.
Decisions come out on the 12th at 1:00 am for me, so I’m making my friends go out with me on the 11th and will be sleeping over at somebody’s house because TBH I can’t handle the pressure. I want to be able to enjoy at least a little bit of my Winter Break before my soul is crushed, you know?
