I think you’re right given I sent one and I have one PK which probably stands for packet. I sent a letter packet.
Wait no way I also have 6 PRs!
i sent a packet too and it says AD. wack.
maybe it's code for the decision you're getting 🤷♂️
"Access Denied" 😔
Does Penn call?
Yeah I think they do
Based on passed years it should be in the 1st week of March (and they differed on what they told people in past years too). My guess is 3/1 (Tuesday) or 3/2 (Wednesday). They don't send post-II R's as far as I can tell. They call for an acceptance and email for a waitlist (both on the same day last year, WL the following day after A's the year before, and same day the year before that).
| 2021 - A: 3/3 (W) 2020 - A: 3/2 (M) 2019 - A: 3/6 (W) | 2021 - WL: 3/3 (W) 2020 - WL: 3/3 (T) 2019 - WL: 3/6 (W) |
Thank you for looking all this up!! Appreciate you
I appreciate this so much! Thank you! Manifesting good news for all of us here ☺️
lmao that would be a terrible adcoms operational mistake if you're not already affiliated with Penn in some way.......
I went there for summer academy when I was in high school lmao... other than that no affiliation whatsoever
I did not
has anyone else also received this email??
Around 30 people get merit scholarships, and I know historically they are good about matching merit at other schools if a school is similarly ranked
Thank you! I saw those 30 for the full tuition, so is it more of a full tuition or nothing sort of thing? Unless you match?
As far as I know, 30 full tuition and no half tuition unless they match
I guess we're all gunning for those 30 spots.
dang does it?
Yes it does
I’m sorry if this is opening a can of worms but… I think we’re all individually qualified and deserving of the merit scholarship. I really don’t love thinking of it as a competition. And I get that inevitably it’s a zero-sum game, but framing anonymous folks in a community of Penn-hopefuls as competitors feels a bit coarse, doesn’t it? (I hope everyone reading this gets the scholarship, is that too much to ask? 😂)
I don’t think there’s an internal ranking anymore? Students I spoke with described it as a “true pass/fail”—Can anyone confirm?
Current students also said the same thing during my interview day when I asked and confirmed that there's no more internal ranking!
I disagree that we're all individually qualified and deserving of that scholarship. It's an extremely naive thing to say. It's a comforting lie. I know there are people with much greater accomplishments than me. It would be a lie to believe that I'm as qualified as those people.
I see what you’re saying, and I understand why you disagree with me. And yes, I do acknowledge the inherent competition (like above, when I said “I get it’s a zero-sum game”). But my friend, even those individuals who have all the 1st author pubs in the world and presidential medals of distinction or whatever, they don’t necessarily bring more value to this world than you or I do. Plus, items on a resume - although obviously important to adcomms - is in reality only a tiny sliver of one’s story. People who belong to groups subject to insidious oppression both historically and presently (URM, LGBTQ, FGLI, etc) may not have the resources or support to look quite as good on paper. But I HOPE that adcomms take into account all of our individual, interesting, and fantastic stories as they decide who gets merit scholarships.
I'm just speculating but since things aren't rolling, I thought maybe they would review most people together this past month?
I’m hoping tomorrow!
Ahhhh, do they usually release all decisions in the same day?
Based on SDN threads from last year and the year before, I think we can expect a trickle of calls over a couple days. So if tomorrow is the first day (and fingers crossed it is), we shouldn't lose hope if we don't get a call
Wishing everyone on here the best! Good luck to us all ❤️Based on SDN threads from last year and the year before, I think we can expect a trickle of calls over a couple days. So if tomorrow is the first day (and fingers crossed it is), we shouldn't lose hope if we don't get a call
