Welp just saw the email that both merit and need based aid have been released. I am super lucky to have a full COA scholarship at a different top 10 school and did not receive much need based aid at all (and no merit), so I will be withdrawing. I hope one of you on the waitlist gets my spot! 🙂

My merit aid is up too -- glad they finally let us know so we can start making our decisions!

Penn is very receptive to matching scholarships.
I receive a full tuition scholarship from Penn, and that was likely because I had another offer to leverage with.
If current or future applicants, are in a similar position, you should let financial aid know!

Anybody know the dress code for Preview?
I think I remember hearing something along the lines of "casual and comfortable." As long as you don't look unprofessional it should be fine. We officially have no one else to impress!

Anyone looking for a good laugh, I recommend going back a few and reading the suspenseful posts and dank memes from early March as we awaited decisions. Feels so long ago now!
You mean other than the insights from my Magic 8 Ball? Sadly, no....
Anecdotally, it seems Penn was able to provide more financial aid this year than other places, so my guess is the WL movement will be pretty limited. Here's to hoping though!

anyone have access to the orientation website yet??
@seltzerlover I am going here (from the wait list) but my understanding is that there has been limited movement.

Seconding - we haven't gotten the orientation stuff yet right? I'm out of the country and checking my email as sparsely as I can.
Still nothing as far as I can tell. They responded to my email saying they would send it Wed or Thurs of this past week. Didn't happen lmao

Hi everyone. I posted this on the another forum, but I wanted to share this here as well. Congrats to all who were accepted/matriculating! I wanted to share a post about housing if anyone was interested. I live in a 2b2b apartment in center city with a (now) second year med student. I will be moving out of state but he wants to stay and is looking for a potential roommate! If anyone is interested, please feel free to PM me. Thanks!
