According to the announcement, over 7,800 students applied to Penn through the Early Decision Program this year, a decrease from last year’s total of 9,500 applications. The results were released on Dec. 18 at 7 p.m.
The early decision results come after Penn welcomed 112 students to the Class of 2030 through the QuestBridge National College Match, which allows low-income students to apply early to selective institutions free of charge. This year’s QuestBridge cohort includes 83 first-generation college students.
