Members don't see this ad.

Hmmm....So can we assume by now that Penn is officially full this year?

it's better to..that way if something happens we will be pleasantly surprised

 

[Forsberg]

Yeah, I pretty much assume this.

 

[wolfiemd]

i'll write a Penn haiku as well:

Penn Med is my goal
Not much time left to choose me
I'll be waiting here

 

[wolfiemd]

just got an email from Gaye....class is full wait list movement minimal (more likely no movement at all) 🙁

Eeeeek. Figured as much.

 

[Forsberg]

Game, Set, Match! It'll be nice to finally have the peace of mind of knowing where I will definitely be next year. Good luck with everything guys and gals!

Talked with Gaye today.

No waitlist movement this year, she's about 100% sure she won't have to use it (and even she was surprised...I got this sense this gives her less control to select diversity in the class). It's pretty much set in stone, but she told me not to withdraw just in case something strange happens.

Sounded like they were slightly over-enrolled, and apparently there are both Penn and Hopkins post-bacs who are waiting to fill any open seats through their formal linkage programs (they get first dibs).

So, yeah, I've pretty much thrown in the towel on this one.

Mdeast, are you sure Gaye said that there had been NO waitlist movement this year?

Aquila456 and Gobble, you two were taken off the waitlist, right?

I think they were both preview invites/high priority people. I think she was referring to the normal waitlist.

This is really sad... 🙁

is this a joke?

I think they mean for you to multiple all of their stats by some constant to get their real ones.

Wow. I really hope so. That person has no right filling the position of a deserving pre med regardless of race. Its pathetic that people like this can get in because they can write "convincing" personal statements.

PS. Wolfie where r u going if u dont get into penn?

I highly doubt that those are his real stats. Also, it's not really our job to judge someone else's app. I leave that up to admissions.

Movement... Definitely happening.

 

[anfleisch]

Isn't a;ways updated right away though. Could have been a while back.

 

[mdeast]

I heard from someone who got in last week. Gaye seems to be cautious this cycle... It isn't an acceptance offer but rather a "let's talk about where you stand". I think she's reticent to offer spots to people who won't take them and...I also think there are very fee spots available. Not sure if this person was high waitlist or just regular tier 1. It's moving a tiny bit but i'm pretty convinced it won't move like it has in the past

 

[wolfiemd]

she probably meant that there would be 0 movement off the regular tier wait list. While it's nice to keep hope, I'm pretty sure this one is gone.

And it's all over 🙁 A full month earlier than they sent this email last year. Twas a competitive year indeed.

"Dear Applicant,

Just got the same thing myself. I'd already given up so I wasn't crushed but it's at least nice to have some closure.

 

[johndoe3344]

You SAY you've given up. You THINK you've given up. But there's still that pain when they finally reject you.

🙁

mdeast i sent you a pm

Yup. For def. Hurts slightly more as a local and current employee. It's like my hometown and institution are shunning me. 🙁

 

[Forsberg]

Ahhh damn. Hey well it was worth a shot. Later guys, good luck with everything
