UPenn Class of 2028 Official Thread

Penn’s email mentions that if FAFSA is the only document missing, then they may ignore the email.

“If the FAFSA is the only item that shows as missing on your financial aid checklist, there is no further action required at this time”

It’s a generic email sent to everyone.

What forms does a student need to fill? How many?

Thanks. I do see some documents to be uploaded but dont see FAFSA yet

Where did you read this ? Do you mean the one in Jan reminding you to fill the Princeton Financial Aid Application (PFAA)?

Yes

Shouldnt everyone who signed up for aid but did not fill the form get the email? Where did you read this?

Long while ago, should be in the 2027 thread or so. Maybe this year they have changed. Don’t know how the internal process works. Be happy at least now since your app remains active, right? I also read Harvard admits, more than 90% got interviewed, based on the court law-suit doc.

Yeah Im pretty sure the Jan and Feb ones went out to everyone who applied for FA

I note that is ancient history at this point, since that data was from before the recent explosion in applications.

Penn’s campus visit impressed us so much and Penn Medicine has a huge sign with over a billion USD of yearly R&D spending. Definitely top choice for Per-Med track with a business minor.

AI GPT has forced USC to close some computer majors. And nVidia’s CEO Jensen Huang has encouraged students to learn Life Science instead. I guess Penn will definitely in the fattest spot in face of AI GPT Agents Challenges since Penn has the first medical school and business school in US, and best ones…

Those mails are very generic. And I think everyone received them recently. Is there anyone who didn’t receive any fin aid documents reminder mail?

You should ask on the priceton thread, not here maybe.

Penn is also investing in AI with the launch of a new major this fall. My SEAS kid is super excited about this development as it complements his interests and career aspirations.

Did anyone else’s financial aid checklist update? The status dates on our portal changed to 3/14 yesterday for all the documents except CSS + FAFSA, and the dates updated again to 3/15 today for the mentioned documents except the outside scholarship form.

Weird a couple of documents on our list show 3/05 , when we submitted them all before 02/15

Yes. Ours were all 2/19 before yesterday, then they changed.

No, I meant the fin aid mails from Penn only.

The new date is probably the date your material was reviewed.
