<p>Anyone know the stats on the interviews at Penn? What percentage of the students that appliced had an interview last year? </p>
<p>If you had a Penn interview, could you say when/city/state?</p>
<p>bump…10 char</p>
<p>Whether or not you get an interview usually depends more on availability/location…</p>
<p>I’m in a pretty big city, most of the colleges seem to have alumni here. Did you get one?</p>
<p>i’ve gotten an interview from every ivy that i had applied to…except for dartmouth because i live there. i think ppl from my school generally get a lot of interviews because we have lots of alums.</p>
<p>It depends entirely on what city you live in, and how available the alumni are there to help interview. The Seattle interview coordinator just reached out to a bunch of us because they got a higher than usual number of applicants from the region this year, and they need more alumni to help out at the last minute. I know we’re doing a bunch on all the Saturdays in February.</p>
<p>^ That’s good news for me, I’m near the Seattle region (well, minus the whole more-applicants-from-here part). Hopefully I can get one.</p>
<p>Anyone else, get Penn interviews? What city/state are you located? Wonder what percentage of accepted students last year had interviews?</p>
<p>we’re in los angeles. D submitted in december. still no word of an interview.</p>
<p>Any other cities get interviews?</p>
<p>We’re in Los Angeles. S submitted application on Dec. 29. His interview is this Wednesday. </p>
<p>His HS (graduating class of around 500) has had 2-3 acceptances to Penn the last several years.</p>
<p>I have not been contacted for an interview yet.</p>
<p>DS has an interview Wednesday evening at a local coffee shop.
Kind of a surprise as we see Penn as a reach for him.
We’re SF Bay Area.</p>
<p>Any Florida interviews?</p>
<p>If other kids in my school were contacted for an interview and I wasn’t, does this mean anything? I’m not particularly concerned I just found it to be a bit odd.</p>
<p>i don’t think the interview matters that much, considering a friend of mine got one after she was accepted</p>
<p>gc414: I think it means whoever was assigned to contact you is lazy, or your spam filter blocked their email.</p>
<p>Last night DS interviewed with an alum at a local coffee shop. He says it went very well and lasted a little over an hour.</p>
<p>For the 3rd time i am posting this, i called UPenn and the guy said only about 50% get interviews. That was a recent call too</p>
<p>Orange County, California - No interview</p>
<p>no interview in OC for me as well, i’m surprised though, i thought oc would have a lot of alumni. maybe they just haven’t gotten to us all yet :)</p>
