Does anyone know if they came out with the waitlist rankings yet?
They said you can call to find out the 6th.

there is no consistency to this. Some years they call LOTS of people. Some few.I just called and spoke to admissions...I'm #9! Ughhh so close and yet so far away.......Does anyone know, on average, how many people are accepted off the waitlist? He told me to call back in a month and he might have more information for me then.
IIRC, they review the classes and discuss any that might be missing after you accept.Sooo does anyone know if Penn actually stringently check prerequisites after you've been accepted?
I'm taking my last two prereqs right now and more or less intend on passing. There is one prereq that I won't be fulfilling on paper because of a very long story that boils down to administrative BS. I've successfully convinced other vet school adcoms that it's just a technicality, but Penn never asked me to list my classes against their prereq list so it never came up. I'm kinda paranoid that they'll suddenly care a week before we matriculate, and I'll have to take up arms again or be REJECTED and have to reapply!

#9 isn't too bad considering the total length of the list! It must be long because I'm #36! I don't mind though, because I think UIUC is the better fit for what I need out of my DVM Good luck!!I just called and spoke to admissions...I'm #9!

Last year, it looks like they didn't get to number 5. Every year is different though!!
it is really random though....May I ask how you found this out?
On a side note... I'd like to think that people that are on the low end of Penn OOS waitlist (#1-10) are highly qualified so that means that they probably got into their IS schools or are on the IS waitlist. IS school is much cheaper than OOS so they will probably choose IS if they get off the waitlist. This also applies to OOS people who got their acceptance letters for Penn too. Then there are those who absolutely fell in love with Penn, got rejected from IS, or didn't have an IS vet school who will definitely accept Penn. AHHH. I should stop thinking about this.
Facebook stalking is helpful . I know last year somebody got a google doc together of people that were looking for roommates that included interests, preferred number of roommates, pets, etc. Maybe our class can get one of those together, too!Any advice on finding roommates?

While I'm not moving this year, I don't hold out hope that I'll ever find a roommate willing to live with me and my 3 cats and 3 dogs.
My dogs are cavaliers, so they are great at emotional support!Someone might. Especially if they're not ready for pets, but want to have them around for emotional support.

Is it ok to send an email to decline an acceptance? Which email address would be best?
We got calls this year, not emails... That's why I'm wondering what a good email would be, or if I should just use the normal admissions email.Yes, and probably to whoever sent you your acceptance email.

I got an interview email from Rosanne Herpen. I'm sure you could email her. If you can't find her email address I'll look it up for you.We got calls this year, not emails... That's why I'm wondering what a good email would be, or if I should just use the normal admissions email.
