Got an II for MSTP, however I will have to reschedule my interview date due to unforeseen circumstances that I cannot work around. Will this be an issue since UPenn organizes interview sessions based on the graduate studies you have indicated? My past research is also relevant to other graduate studies besides the one I indicated, and I have multiple interests for pursuing my PhD.

Got the II as well! Definitely the longest wait out of any school. Complete 7/8

Dude I want to see you go 11 for 11 haha. Balsy to apply to only 11 schools but it seems to be paying off!

 

[medhope516]

Does Penn do rejections or just the cold hard silent treatment?

Congrats! what are the earliest dates available?

Congrats! what are the earliest dates available?

For me the options were a few days in late November. There were no choices after that in my portal so I think they either gave me a specific window or they haven't opened up later dates yet

 

[daw05]

II this morning! I'm really surprised, I had no expectation of getting one here - feeling very blessed.

LM~75, nontraditional, veteran.

Like Pickles13, I also only had two choices in November for dates.

For those of you who had your interviews, do you know if interviewees have to go to the pre-interview connections the day before the interview? Also, what did you do during that time?

You don’t. Flirt with current students - but it has 0 impact on admissions. It’s supposed to be meant for people who feel very nervous about the interview to feel more relaxed

Okay, awesome! Did they tell you that it has 0 impact on admissions? Most of the other schools say that they are optional, but this email did not mention it at all.

I didn't send any updates at all, so I was definitely very surprised to hear back!

Yep, thanks! I did an interview at Pitt, so they're still in the running when I hear back in January. I have family there, so that's a big pull.

There's a place to upload documents on the portal. That's what I used.

For those of you who have Interviewed and requested a host - when did you get confirmation about the student hosting prior to the interview?

It took them about a week t0 find me a host and this was 6 weeks before my interview date

 

[chick_fil_eyyy]

Are they still sending out IIs at this point for people complete in August?

 

[Knope2020]

I was complete very late August and got an II two weeks ago, but honestly who knows

 

[freedoctor17]

Are they still sending out IIs at this point for people complete in August?

Someone on November 16th posted that there was only 1 December date and 1 january date left? Or maybe that's all that was available to them. At this point they must be very close to finishing or maybe they'll have a few more to fill still and some empty spots to fill if anyone withdraws their interview.
