UPenn ED Class of 2021 Discussion Thread

well it’s time I made a countdown timer… https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20161209T12&p0=256&font=cursive

forgot to mention this but my mom also successfully predicted that decisions would come out on the 9th last night… why are moms psychic

What do you guys think chances are for someone who works there doing research and has a recommendation from a professor/penn faculty

I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep until Friday…

@123kxas it is kind of pointless to chance or wonder now

So I’ve been stalking this thread for a while now and I finally decided to make and account after finding out the decision date. If I do get accepted, you’re all invited to a party at my house hahah good luck to all!

“But you can always get what you want”. Sigh. I’ll really want this, but I’m really pessimistic.

@sajeunesse yeah true, I’m here everyday and have a ton of undergrad friends, just was wondering :slight_smile:

@DabOnEm12 I @misssunshineee I emailed them and they said “We do not track reception of “other” letters of recommendation. We have received your third letter of recommendation”, so it is safe to assume that yes, they have received it.

@123kxas Well good luck! I assume any and all connections with Penn are a good thing :wink:

So are decisions basically set in stone?

@clh7699 yeah i would say so

well in China, the decision release time is 12.10 4am, and I’m going to a concert on 12.9 evening. So I think I won’t be able to sleep after the concert, and then eagerly waiting for Penn’s result

anyone else freaking the frick out???

Yup!!

ye

the scariest thing is i have a Michigan interview that same day… so its guaranteed to go poorly no matter what happens :frowning:

it’s definitely hard to function

Does anyone know how many applicants Penn accepts in the ED round? Do they fill approximately half their class?

@feelthefern ye? yeeee.
