SDN hysteria at its finest...we'll see!
Perhaps they're updating statuses by order of last name. Are those that received their update at the first letters of the alphabet?
I think the obvious most likely way they're doing it is by a completely random arbitrary selection process utilizing a South Park-like wheel of fortune plus chicken with its head cut off.

me too.
After such a curt email I thought for sure I was rejected.. but I got IN!
Accepted?!
What...?! WHAT?!
:O
What...?! WHAT?!

From reading last years thread it looks like if you are on the waitlist and invited to second look, if you attend then you are very very likely to get accepted.
+1!!! Got rejected from yale yesterday and was feeling sad. Now I am feeling glad!
same here, waitlisted from my top school on monday and rejected from yale on tuesday. I was in a pit of despair yesterday and basically waiting for the "while you are very qualified, we are unable to accept you" letter from penn. Opened the application portal and I was accepted.
**to all future SDNers** Don't lose hope, its a grueling process
Waitlisted (again). Pretty upset as penn was a clear #1

Truth. Grueling and ridiculously capricious, whether you have high or low stats.

waitlisted. huge congrats to everyone who made it in!!!
was there a consensus on whether any post-interview rejections were sent out, or if it's just accepted/waitlist?

Does Penn reject anybody straight up or is everybody just waitlisted if they don't get an acceptance?
Exciting to see so many of you getting accepted. I got accepted last year, and am a 1st year. If you got accepted, come to PENN. It ROCKS.

Accepted! Yay!
I would take that as a "top tier" waitlist nod. Congrats.
Congratulations to everyone who were just accepted! I hope to see you all during Penn Preview April 25-27th
For those who are waitlisted, don't lose all hope yet, there are definitely some people coming off the waitlist sometime after May.

I would like to know this as well. Also, small children.
Accepted🙂 any other MSTPs out there?
Thanks. That's good to know. What a process all this is.
Congrats to everyone accepted.
For my fellow waitlistees, from penn's waitlist FAQ-- I thought these parts were especially helpful:
"The list ranges from a larger number (400) in March to a reduced size (100) later in the year (May). Reductions occur by self-selection or Committee action."
"Acceptances from the waitlist may be made at any time. Generally, waitlist acceptances are not made until May. Acceptances may continue, on a limited basis, throughout the summer until the first day of class, August 12, 2013."
and
"The number [accepted from waitlist] varies from year to year, depending on the number of people who withdraw from the initial acceptance group. We are not able to predict a specific number at this time. Best guess: 12 to 25."
Congrats again to everyone accepted, and to all of us for making it this far! 🙂
