2/26 vs 3/18-19 is a pretty big gap though

162

i dont think there’s a portal myth because u see the faq. apparently it is for the use of styling for

s that shown up for rejection, but also see that u have a class for “portal-pop” which I believe is for the confetti and “.portal-intro–right” probably for the admitted students portal right zone because rejection does not have such place. therefore this is probably update for more styling but does not indicate anything at all, I do front end design a bit but if u have source code without these classes “faq” styled, please lmk with a screenshot

163

i mean styling for <div>s for rejection. lol cc puts our comment directly into its HTML form and we can actually code inside

like this

I received the email on 21st confirming the RD release date. When do you guys think the committee ended? Before or after 18-19? If it ended before then this late status date seems very promising, but if it ended AFTER then idk might have been a finalization by taking FA into consideration (But Penn is need blind so this is just speculation)

165

Considering the late dates are all in the same 18-19 range, it only makes sense that some sort of decision or ending event took place

166

It might also signal the beginning of finalization of FA packages tho since colleges usually leave a week or two for this process so that students receive their FA with their decisions.

167

Also UPenn says that it is need blind so it makes sense that FA finalization would come after decisions are finalized. However, who knows if they are really need blind this year.

168

My status dates are 3/25

I don’t remember exactly but I believe late January/early February

174

My daughter’s FASFA update for Wake Forest was 3/19 and UChicago was 2/28, she was waitlisted at both schools.

That’s true! And maybe that indicates something important. Tho it might also reflect how early you applied, how early you submitted docs, etc. It’s not like every financial aid package would be prepared on the same day or even the same week, From what I understand it’s generally between first/second week of February and mid-March for these well-financed schools that handle acceptances in the thousands.

International RD applicant who applied for aid here. The status date on my Proof of Earnings Statement is 3/20. Is this a good sign or am I looking into it too much? I’d assume decisions are finalized by then.

177

Why are my dates the same as ever


178

hi, i have a few questions (sorry)

so “portal pop” and “portal intro right” indicate acceptances? or is it code in the background that’ll be activated when the time comes? sorry i suck at anything computer related :sob:

179

does anyone not have “portal-pop” and “.portal-intro–right”? Penn’s acceptance rate is low so if we all have it, it can’t be astrology haha

180

Yes, my son has it. I don’t think it means anything.
