UPenn ED Class of 2021 Discussion Thread

There is no point of comparing scores and legacy at this point. It just stresses people out. Please don’t do that.
Good luck to everyone. Keep in mind that no matter the result, you can achieve great things.

@BigJah LOL WHAT no.

Well what makes you think I haven’t worked my whole life to get in as well? @skiing26

Never really even lurked on cc and applied to dartmouth ed but @2021Hopeful what do you want from the posters? Yes you’ll get in because you’re a legacy and a decent ACT score?.. not necessarily…?

Agree with @coywolf. At this point there’s no point in speculating, since decisions are probably already finalized.

Does anyone know how much UPenn cares about school rankings? I’m applying RD to Penn and my rank is really high(appox 11/1400), but my scores most likely won’t be qualified enough(33ACT).

I think your ACT is perfectly fine. However, I am not sure about the rankings tho, I didn’t put mine on the common app when applying because my school does not have the ranking system. So I think this will definitely contribute to your application but not sure it’s going to be like a thing that they will care about a lot. @Done42021

Did anyone else here apply to SEAS?

@fridaydeathday nope you’re the only one

@fridaydeathday I applied to SEAS as my single-choice degree school!

wow i did absolutely no work tonight and just stressed about Friday instead, amazing

Did you all get contacted by the financial aid office saying that they reviewed all your materials?

Yeah did anyone get notified by the financial aid office that they reviewed all your documents and forms. When I submitted my stuff they sent a confirmation email that stated “You will be notified by the office once all of your financial aid application documents have been completed and reviewed.” I never got notified though :frowning:

Same @fridaydeathday , I never got a confirmation email

who here is applying to wharton?

@rusty8642 I am

Most Wharton applicants apply ED

@rusty8642 I am! I can’t sleeeeep I’m too nervous

With only days left I’m working on my RD schools apps and I just wondered…
what points drew you guys into UPenn instead of similar schools like UChicago and Columbia?

@namijoan Relative to Columbia, Penn’s social life, emphasis on undergrad education, and academic tracks are much more attractive. I’m applying to UChicago too though.
