<p>@mandypandy- I got accepted to Drexel as well, and got a nice lump sum of money, too! What do you want to study?</p>
<p>@accordingtome: Haha I LOVE Disneyland! I just went there, actually :)</p>
<p>I know right. One of the many reasons I love California!</p>
<p>Oh and I forgot what to write what I am going to do if I get in⦠Iām going to be at WashU, visiting my boyfriend. So I would first scream and tell him, call my mom/grandma, update Facebook status, post on CC, add new CC friends, buy Penn sweatshirt :D</p>
<p>Haha, I left for half an hour and there were 2 more pages of posts. I love you guys <3</p>
<p>Well, I got into the PA program at Drexel so thatās pretty cool. But for Penn and all the other schools Iām applying to, itās Nursing. Yep, I am definitely in the minority here on CC. I think I found like 3 other applicants applying to Penn for Nursing. lol</p>
<p>@sweetcookie hahahah thatās totally understandable seeing how most canadians donāt even care much about the univs in the states. I live in a small city in BC and a lot of people donāt even know what Ivy League is . One time several Ivy League adcoms came to talk about their programs at our school and one of the parents asked them what the SAT is during the Q & A session. I was then seriously wondering if he had even a tiny clue what this whole thing was about.</p>
<p>@tjehddus: Oh, my⦠Well, you should definitely be proud of yourself for branching out and not listening to what everyone is saying about the schools here. :D</p>
<p>@mandypandy aww thank you! I just had no courage to even write on this thread until just now because everyone seems so perfect with all the flawless test scores and ECs- unlike me. haha I live somewhat close to Vancouver if that helps.</p>
<p>tjehddus: Believe me, I am definitely far from perfect. I just love this thread because everyone feels the same way I do; weāre all nervous and excited, and of course, we love Penn! Iām glad you decided to join us :)</p>
<p>@tjehddus - nobodyās perfect <em>cue Hannah Montana song</em>
Vancouverās a pretty awesome placeā¦like if Toronto were New York, Vancouverās LA
I miss seeing all Asians everywhere I go, and being in a class where the little white boy is a minority.
Iām applying to several top schools in U.Sā¦for me, itās either go big or go home. And go home in my case would be Canada. My safeties are UToronto and maybe UWaterlooā¦what about you? My parents donāt like McGill for some reason even though itās supposedly Canadaās Harvard.</p>
<p>Uh-oh. I just got invited to a party for my fantasy football league (Iām lame, I embrace it.) But itās on the 9th of December. I have an inkling that I will NOT want to be there in either case. But itās strange because itās āNext Friday.ā</p>
<p>Itās close enough to where we can say ānext week.ā
THATāS INSANITY.</p>
<p>Next week⦠X_X</p>
<p>sweetcookie, youāre from Canada?!?! Thatās awesome!</p>
<p>OH my gosh⦠thatās crazy!!! 11 daysā¦Iām dying.</p>
<p>Am I in reality? It feels like just the other week I was complaining to my mom that Penn decisions need to come out faster. Iām not ready!!!
Yes, Iām Canadian, but itās been years since Iāve lived in Canada. Iām probably just as American as you guys.</p>
<p>AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! So scary.</p>
<p>Not to worry you guys,
But I read somewhere that Penn defers the majority of its ED applicants so they can get a tougher RD class⦠but that may have been only for the dual-degree programs. Thoughts?</p>
<p>I donāt think they defer dual-degree applicants. I think they get rejected/admitted. Rejects are considered for their 1st choice college.</p>
<p>
Actually, Penn defers less than a quarter of its ED applicants (last year, it was 1,100 out of 4,571 ED applicants):</p>
<p>[Penn</a> Admissions: Incoming Class Profile](<a href=āhttp://www.admissions.upenn.edu/profile/]Pennā>http://www.admissions.upenn.edu/profile/)</p>
<p>With over 27,000 RD applicants last year, Penn doesnāt need to defer ED applicants to get a ātougherā RD class. :)</p>
<p>Yeah, itās basically 25% in, 25% deferred, 50% rejected.</p>
<p>So I guess you only have a 50/50 chance of being rejected!</p>
<p>-____-ā¦</p>
<p>50/50 Woohoo!
⦠not</p>
