UPenn ED Class of 2021 Discussion Thread

Hi, everyone. Are you sending your scores to other schools for RD? I am kinda worried that scores sent after getting Penn’s decision won’t arrive on time even if the decision is released on 9th. Also, there is a delay with my SAT Japanese score, so I am probably not even getting all my scores by 15th…

Anyway, good luck for all of you!

@Zackhardtoname I actually sent off all my scores just now! For my first round of score sends, it took over 2 weeks, so I would send scores for RD schools with Jan. 1st deadlines.

Based on history and “mid-December”, the likely window for releasing EDs is 12/11 (Sun) - 12/16 (Fri).

Anyone talking to the Kelly Writers House?

@doorrealthe It’s SO strange that nobody posted a recruiting letter for KWH. Maybe they didn’t send out letters this year? Or maybe they went to people not on college confidential. But usually the applicants that are “recruited” in the end, know it. (search the old threads over the last few years) You can always write to them and ask if your application was supported by them with admissions. But getting the letter doesn’t mean you’re definitely accepted - it’s not like an athletic recruit. It just gives you a boost with admissions.

Well it’s time to get my hopes up again!!! If they don’t release the release date tomorrow…

guys that video on their twitter of the kid getting accepted actually gave me heart palpitations

I have a gut feeling (or a sixth sense) that the date will be released tomorrow on Twitter at 3pm and that the date will be Sunday the 11th.

@financemajor37 ill snapchat you at 9AM crying when they don’t email us

@skiing26 good! I’ll be crying as well

I don’t think they would do it over the weekend?

no but clearly someone works their twitter over the weekend because they tweeted like 3 hours ago

Oh yeah I guess maybe

Did anyone else get an email about missing financial aid documents from the college board recently?

Nope! I turned in the fafsa and CSS I just haven’t done the pfas…

Did Penn contact you about not having submitted the pfas? @clh7699

Nope. I don’t think the deadline is very strict. If I get in I’ll fill it out but I don’t feel like doing it now

Cool, so not having the financial aid in by the deadline doesn’t affect your acceptance?

Don’t they send out your FA package at the same time as acceptance though? So wouldn’t they need the PFAS by then?

True
