Penn is ignoring 84's, along with almost every other school I applied to

Sorry to hear that. That is kind of surprising since there can't be many 85s around.

nice flex

 

[MDapplicant578124]

nice flex

I didn’t mean it as a flex, I was making fun of myself for potentially not ending up with an acceptance with a LM84.

An acceptance with a 500 has way more value than no acceptances with a high MCAT.

[gruffgoat]

Haha I wish the best for both of us!

looks like we're both having similar experiences - how's your c ycle going?

 

[Thekid765]

anyone know if penn is still sending out II, still on that pre-II ghost

 

[slipslappy]

Not sure if this has been asked already, but does anyone know if admissions mentioned a specific time frame we should send updates after our interview?

 

[tydagher]

Does anyone know when 2nd look will be and/or the date when decisions are released?

Agreed! I honestly didn't even mind this R because it was just so kind

 

[MedStudent2301]

Got that R letter. Honestly, these were all the schools now I expected them from, and like everyone is saying it was very nice

 

[deleted688779]

Rejected.

Nothing kind about it.

 

[deleted996731]

anyone want to post the language that makes it nice? I'm curious

I’m rereading it and I’m wondering if my emotions are numb or if I’m just too cynical or if I’m a high maintenance diva but it just sounds like a generic letter not worth brainspace.

lol oops the one from @krustykrabkrew didnt load before I sent

 

[Caterpillar34]

I don't understand the importance of having a "nice" rejection letter. They are all the same draft sent out to thousands of applicants so it really didn't matter. I wouldn't be bugged if it said "status update: rejected".

 

[aspiringdoctor87]

sorry to everyone who got the R today!
will the people who interviewed also hear back soon, or will it be in March? thank you!

 

[BUSM24Student]

I've come to realize I generally only post when rejected.

pre-II R today

 

[greatjoyousday]

I don't understand the importance of having a "nice" rejection letter. They are all the same draft sent out to thousands of applicants so it really didn't matter. I wouldn't be bugged if it said "status update: rejected".

For me, a well-written and kind rejection letter shows an appreciation for all the work that I have put in to applying to their school. Even if they didn't want me in the end, they still want me to know that my effort and accomplishments are recognized. I find it to be a considerate way to deliver the news, and although the same message gets sent out to thousands of people, that doesn't take away from the fact that the school spent at least a small amount of time crafting a thoughtful message conveying the respect that they have for each applicant.

 

[relm]

Rejected!! Good luck to everyone

 

[HereticalHorus]

I got the Big ol Fat R

Also the nicest R rejection letter of this cycle. Thanks for not stepping all over my already wounded ego lol

I was thinking the same thing, but I didn’t wanna spoil the zen. Besides, I know everyone is just staring at their calendars for March.

No more II to give out and no decisions for a couple more weeks makes for a dead thread

 

[aspiringdoctor87]

So March 2nd will be the day?
