Possibly not good news for middle class and wealthy applicants. The DP posted an article on a recent study done by Brandeis and UPenn has zero students from lowest income bracket. Aka they are not economically diverse. It says Admissions did not comment.

@sajeunesse the article was just posted 12 hours ago so idk if that would’ve affected adcom decisions for this year?
@xindisun99 True but I didn’t know if Penn Admissions could’ve known about it beforehand. Your comment makes sense tho
@sajeunesse wouldn’t that be good news for wealthy applicants because they seem to only take wealthier people
@sajeunesse yeah they probably did know about it in past years, it just seems as if they haven’t taken the initiative to change it perhaps?
@skiing26 I guess, I just thought they would try to admit lower income students to increase their economic diversity and @xindisun99 true
that moment when you forget your penn portal username and password. LMAO
@queenharambe Hey I am from Florida as well and did not get an interview. Did you get one?
@qwertyqwaf I’m from Florida and I had an interview early November. They might just not have had any alumni in your area
@vsorhegui What part of Florida? Im southwest by Fort Myers. I was surprised I didn’t get one so I was nervous I missed a call or something. Hopefully, it doesn’t hurt me too much.

Oh my god this is the longest week of my LIFE
@insula I KNOW i have PLENTY of work to keep me busy i just dont want to do any of it
literally same @xindisun99 i have a test and like two papers due but am just pretending they dont exist
@qwertyqwaf I’m from Naples actually so just south of you. That’s weird but I’m sure it didn’t affect your decision in any way
Did anyone else get a Skype interview (esp to international students?) or was it mainly in person
i got a skype interview and I’m from Lebanon
@abc1688 I got one! My interviewer was in Boston and I live in CA lol
Damn that makes me nervous since you are so close to me. I know it doesnt hurt me but an interview could only help. Good luck! @vsorhegui
