2017-2018 University of Pennsylvania (Perelman)

[~ Doctor~]

I’m convinced they’re trolling us now. Every school has released some decisions. How hard can this be?

They might be fiercely debating between you and sciencegirl95 for the final slot

I feel like the longer they take, the longer they are spending looking at my app and being like oh wait this guy shouldn't actually be accepted haha

 

[bae2017]

They're probably too busy reading this thread to release decisions. We need to start posting ****tier memes.

 

[scienceguy95]

I just want to knowwwww

 

[calimass]

I read somewhere in this thread that UPenn has a March 15th deadline. Just wondering - where did we find that information??

When you get an email and have a panic attack only to find out it's an AAMC email

Not to interrupt these delicious memes, but I just want to pre-emptively delay tomorrow morning's hype train departure from Penn Station. I have a feeling decisions will be Wednesday.

[zeni]

(though a tiny part of me, the tiny optimistic part that is slowly dying, thinks it might be tomorrow

Since I've been wrong every single day for about a week I'm just gonna agree and hope that the pattern continues and it's actually today!

 

[scienceguy95]

I was kind of hoping our esteemed friend @pumpingfe would post a spicy hype train meme this morning anyway despite my words of caution lol.

Every time I try to generate hype it goes wrong. I have concluded that I am bad luck and need to stop posting on this thread.

But then...

When it's March 15th and the AAMC is all up in your **** because you forgot to accept anyone to your med school:

 

[scienceguy95]

I thought the Mayo thread was the spiciest before decisions.

I was wrong.

 

[XALT]

I thought the Mayo thread was the spiciest before decisions.

I was wrong.

With a 0% acceptance rate, Penn is now more exclusive than Mayo

 

[~ Doctor~]

Just woke up from a dream that I was rejected lol. This is how I feel reading this thread this morning

 

[bae2017]

Lol what do you know, decisions are up

Waitlist #6!!!!!!!! 0/6 on the east coast baby!!!

 

[pumpingfe]

Wait my portal hasn't updated yet ...

 

[scienceguy95]

Waitlisted! Finally some closure.

 

[UnassumingToad]

Lol what do you know, decisions are up

Waitlist #6!!!!!!!! 0/6 on the east coast baby!!!

Where are you all seeing this? Either my portal isn't updated or I am looking in the wrong place!

 

[bae2017]

Where are you all seeing this? Either my portal isn't updated or I am looking in the wrong place!

It just shows up when I log in, no tab. I'm assuming WLs are out first?? Other decisions to follow?

 

[scaredadvocate]

No update...

 

[XALT]

Thinking decisions would go up on the 15th, I generated another spongebob meme:

Edit: Also waitlisted

Thank you for clarification! And I'm sorry about your luck on the east coast.... but bay area weather is pretty freaking perfect.

 

[~ Doctor~]

Also waitlist..... Bummer

 

[ChestnutHillarity]

Where are you reading this?? I didn't get an email or anything.

Just open the portal

 

[Hero2shot]

ACCEPTEDDDDDDDDD

 

[mk059]

ACCEPTED!!!! I'm crying.

The acceptance letter comes up on a tab

 

[bootsandspooky]

Waitlisted too. So weird, why didn't they even send an email? And why is there no tab? Like if I navigate away from that mystical page, I can't seem to get back to it. edit: like 1 min after I posted this they sent an email and there's now an admissions decision tab.

Here's some info: their best guess of students pulled from the waitlist is 12-25. They initially waitlist about 400 in March, and they said by May it will drop down to about 100. You can update them, preferably through the status tab.

Ugh this cycle has been so demoralizing.

Congrats to the accepted 🙂

 

[bae2017]

Just got the email. And now I see a tab!

Congrats to everyone accepted!!!

 

[ccsg13579]

Just got the email and my portal is updated.... ACCEPTED!!!! WOOOOO!!!! Anyone know when the merit aid decisions come out?

 

[TheMcQuitter]

Oh my sweet gracious god. Accepted.

 

[medschoolbro]

Waitlisted.
