Has anyone lost their hope about Pennās waitlist? Like I was really hopeful that I had a decent chance because I really tried hard for the LOCI, but it seems like they didnāt even read mine 
I mean thereās still hope and personally Iām still having hopes for it but Iāve been able to come up with a decent plan B (Iām actually a bit looking forward to a gap year). However I do think this and next week will be the end of it (maybe after but I highly doubt it).
Taking a gap year to reapply is risky.
Is there anyone who got accepted or got any mail regarding waitlist decision?
Hi all. Saw this forum,and decided to join. On May 24th I had contacted Admissions via email. My daughter was WL. I had asked if we had other awards or scholarships received should we send this info and would that help in the decision. This is what they repliedā¦ Not very encouraging:(
Students will be notified via the email they used to apply if they are admitted to Penn or if the Waitlist closes. We plan to use the waitlist, on a very limited and rolling basis, through June; however, we encourage all students to consider the options available to them and prepare in the event they are not admitted. We expect to provide updated information to all waitlisted applicants in mid-June regarding their status on the waitlist.
BTW, they had the word ālimitedā as limited
Does anybody know if you can apply again as a first year this fall even if youāre enrolled at another college?
Probably not
Most likely because May 24th was after the release of the first wave so if any more decisions were made, itāll be to cover up for those who choose to decline (in addition to the predicted yield rate) and thatās why the word ālimitedā was used.
Nope.
But I saw this in another schoolās website (you know which school Iām talking about):
" 1. If you have not already spent a full academic year or more in a college/university in the U.S. or Canada, then you must apply to X College as a first-year student."
Iām just asking cuz I saw this. Iām confused.
It basically has the same meaning, if you have spent a year in a college, you canāt apply as first year, if you have not then you can apply. (I checked with that other school too, I meant it message you yesterday)
Alright thanks so much!
Friday is the Gap Year Declaration deadline, right?
Canāt delete this
Iām quite sure itās either today or tomorrow. I know that today is the deadline for the first wave.
Yes. The deadline is June 5th.
Then I think we shouldnāt expect something by Monday.
I think theyāll take the results of decisions from deadlines today and Friday and spend the week finalizing waitlist substitutionsāthen send out on Thursday like normal.
