University of Pennsylvania Early Decision Class of 2030 Official Thread

This is the official thread for those applying ED to University of Pennsylvania.

List your unweighted GPA, any SAT /ACT scores, and ECs. What majors are you going into?
Ask your questions, the CC community is here to help!

Hi! On the UPenn essay about exploring community, how am I supposed to bring up existing clubs/activities at UPenn since their club/activity directory has limited access to only current students?

With decisions coming up, are any ED applicants able to login into the “login for newly admitted students” portal? mine says “your username was not found on the platform”

Could this be used as a sign of early acceptance?

What do you mean? When clicked the Login for the Admitted Students, It took me back to the admission portal.

anyone hear anything about the actual notification date?

Someone just shared that it’s 12/18 @ 7pm ET: College Decision Dates: The Official 2025-2026 CC Calendar - #109 by hssenior27

Thank you.

It’s happening!
