Just think of it this way: In the end there will be champagne for the admitted, beer for the waitlisted, and whiskey for the rejected. Now which of those drinks sounds like a better time?


That's what I thought.
 
my heart rate mimics the number of people on this thread right now. 137 people are on here...


it's a PENNdemic

Site just loaded for me as well with the same status. I also had the down for maintenance message for about an hour though...

The site loads fine for me... no "down for maintenance" message.

Okay, I think this is supposed to happen.... maybe they are done with uploading everything are just waiting to for the right moment to....

Basing this on last year, the site was up like "normal" after the maintenance.

Then how much later did it switch to show status? Same day?
 
Maybe they are waiting for 5pm to leave the office first??? That would be smart on their part 🙂

Hahaha, Penn is like the pretty girl everyone has a crush on. Every little move she makes gets over-analyzed and interpreted to death, when all she was really doing was fixing a server issue.



But seriously, when?
 
I like to come to this thread to relax. Having gone through other school's "rolling" admissions that are more akin to a carnival game than rolling admissions, it's nice to see such a civil and relaxed thread. It's very British sounding:

"I do believe that we will hear back on the 12th"
"Hmm. That or the 13th"
"Indeed"
"Email and status you suppose?"
"I can't see why not"
"Painfully good weather we're having..."
This thread will descend into madness, just like the others. Give it time 🙂

Nadaba's prescient comment coming to fruition (though, really, the odds were like 100:1 in his/her favor).
 
It will all just be waiting for them tomorrow morning if that is the case....

I'm hopeful for something in the next hour or so, but I'm an optimist (though I am expecting a rejection...).

If not, I have faith that tomorrow is the day. At the very least they said by Thursday.

I'd take whiskey (preferably scotch) any day of the week. But should I be accepted, I'll definitely be having a celebratory beer
