I'm wondering if they might have preemptively asked for our T-shirt sizes and only intend to send them to accepted students. I haven't gotten mine either

 

[FUTUREDOC1999]

Has anyone sent a post-interview letter of interest?

 

[Mr.Blackdoc.5]

Has anyone sent a post-interview letter of interest?

Lol yes, to every school I’ve interviewed at

 

[deleted1014383]

Anyone else get the financial aid email?

 

[KendallJennerSniperLady69]

Of note, the FA email seemed to imply to me that the interview season is over.

Thought this might be of interest to people still waiting, but you should always check with the admissions office just to be sure!

what was the wording that made that implication?

Not the person you’re replying to, but the email started off “It was great to “meet” you all during the interview season,” implying everyone who got the email had already interviewed and had met the FA director during the interview session. This makes sense, especially since (per post #352) they said they were winding down at the beginning of January.

Mmmmm that does not mean the season is over ( tho might be ) it only means that FA email is only going to those who had interviewed. Which there is no reason to send the FA email to those who have not, even if they will be interviewing in the near future. That said this is the top 3 school in the nation hence they have no incentive to extend the interview season even with the pandemic.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I mean, I have no special insight into the Penn admissions process, but I think they’re probably done or close to it. The email itself seemed like a heads up about the next stage of the process with info about financial aid q&a. They said at my interview that they were planning on decisions in early March like normal, and that lines up with what they’ve told people who called admissions. Zoom interviews could definitely allow for the same number of interviews as a normal year to be packed in even with the initial delay. And about a month to finalize all decisions for the cycle with a bit of wiggle room seems about right.

 

[FUTUREDOC1999]

So when do you guys think the decision release date will be?

Last year it was March 2. Personally, I'd guess it's going to be a little later due to covid but not that much later.

(they also sent pre-II Rs in early February last year)

 

[Infinite99]

Has anyone had any success emailing the admissions office with [post-interview] questions? They haven't responded to my emails.

 

[electr!c]

Does anyone know if Penn is receptive to post-II LOI's (interest OR intent)?

I have seen on other threads that Penn is "needy".

What does this mean?

 

[mvsrocks]

What does this mean?

That they love LOIs and expressed interest

 

[deleted1062149]

What does this mean?

Means they like getting LOIs before accepting students more than other schools would.

 

[electr!c]

Has anyone received any kind of response to sending an LOI this cycle? Just wondering since someone said earlier they'd emailed the admissions office to no response...

 

[Unconditionalloves]

Guessing IIs are done here?

I hope not I need one.

Pre II rejection. Submitted Oct 30

 

[Idahomie]

Hey, I actually think this was my favorite rejection letter to read. Definitely more tactful and tasteful than some of the brutes and oafs in charge of writing rejection letters
