@kcasssuu @MaybeHarvard2022 I know Penn used to send likely letters to everyone until 2-3 years back but I think it may have stopped since.

142

I applied to Wharton for finance and actuarial science but I was reading yesterday about students who got 34-36 on their act and were rejected :confused: now I’m really stressing out!!

143

@erinward19 they were rejected because admissions look beyond test scores.

144

@MaybeHarvard2022 Don’t get me wrong, I definitely know that but many of them had a long list of extra curriculars with leadership positions and felt confident about their essays and interviews. It just adds another layer of stress to know that such great candidates still get rejected.

145

i’m trying hard not to dwell. there’s nothing we can do anymore but wait. Currently expecting rejection so that i can either be right or pleasantly surprised.

146

Does anyone know when decisions will come out?

147

@IntApp2022 March 28th, not sure about time of day

148

@IntApp2022 @musicandscience all ivies will release at 5PM ET

149

@musicandscience @MaybeHarvard2022 Did you get an email about it?

150

@IntApp2022 no, it’s just a known fact.

151

@MaybeHarvard2022 Oh okay. I was just hoping it might be a bit earlier

152

How did you learn of this “known fact”?

153

@HamilFan , it has been the same every single year and has been coined ‘Ivy Day’ by most students, which is probably what @MaybeHarvard2022 is referring to. All Ivies release regular decisions on the same day in March at the same time. The past few years it was March 31st at 5pm. This year just happens to be March 28th as the 31st is a Saturday. Hope this helps! :slight_smile:

154

I live in Pennsylvania and haven’t been contacted for an interview
 :slight_smile:

155

Is there any way to check if your school has submitted your mid-year report?

156

@kassh4 it should come up on the pen portal

157

Will Penn send out likelies on Monday? Or will they come later?

158

midyear report doesnt show on the portal @bluemonkey66 @kassh4

159

@vakilmohit most likely first week of March, though they will probably only go to nursing applicants as in years past.

160

I was just offered a second Penn(wharton) interview, my first taking place in Nov. for ED.
Is this a normal occurrence?
