You beat me to starting this thread by like... 4 minutes.
Good luck! I'm not too optimistic since my interviews were weird and this week hasn't been great decision-wise, but I'm still excited!
Now, if I were Penn, I'd put decisions up at 12:01am Monday, because then the applicants would love me, and all choose to matriculate. Apparently they don't agree (but Penn if you're reading... totally. Do it.)

They'll email all of us. So just have some icon on your desktop to alert you to new messages. I doubt we'll hear anything until Tuesday though.
Well, it's past midnight East Coast Time. Penn decisions are officially fair game now 👍

It looks like decisions won't be coming out today. Last year, they came out in the morning, so I'd guess we'll get them on Tuesday morning. I could be wrong (hopefully).
FutureDoc06 said:
Nooooooo - it's still morning!! There's still hope! I'm compulsively refreshing my email every minute. And then I don't totally trust that they'll email right away, so for every 10 email checks, I check the status page once. This is so not healthy. 😱

Grrrr oh well
Did anyone else get an email giving them a new temporary password? I logged in and the page still says the same thing. Weird.
In further news, an anti-Parkinson's drug may be causing addicting behavior. Like compulsively checking the Penn website.

I didn't get the email. Is the email specifically addressed to you, or is it addressed to a big group? What did the email say exactly?
FutureDoc06 said:
Hmmm, this thread is quiet, so hopefully it's just the one "temporary password" email then, and it doesn't mean anything. Or maybe this website is just running super slow today.

Cool, probably not an important email since no one else has written anything
FutureDoc06 said:
Now thinking Wed? DOes that mean Wed at the latest, or does "thinking Wed" mean Thurs or Fri in all likelihood. Boooooo. I can't stand the waiting. Oh well, at least checking my email in box every 10 minutes is easier than checking my mail constantly.
I still think they will come tomorrow.
Yeah, the email was addressed to me. I get the feeling that I probably hit the 'forgot password' link or something bizarre along those lines. Sorry, didn't mean to insinuate anything.FutureDoc06 said:
I was just annoyed that I was getting yet another 'this is not an important email' email... "Ceci n'est pas une pipe."
Day 2... the wait continues
FutureDoc06 said:
Still Day 1 here in Central Time... And it's been the longest day ever!
So I'm thinking... all this time we've been hoping decisions come out on Tuesday since that's what happened last year. But what if the pattern is in the date?? Which would mean our fates will be decided on March 22nd... Wednesday.
I think I really have gone insane.
good luck to everyone waiting! hopefully the wait won't be too long, but if i remember correctly we were told before lunch last year so you might not find out today...
if anyone has any questions about the school of course email the people on the list that penn will provide you but feel free to message me as well- hope to see you at preview!

By my clock, they have 27 minutes until 10:03 (the random but oh so magical moment when I personally expect to get some sort of email).
Now I'm sure I'll get an email at that point, but now I'm thinking it will probably be another "We need to verify your username and password so we can fraudulently buy things through ebay with your account" sort of email.

YES I am expecting that time too...isn't that ridiculous. We search past threads and expect schools to do things to the minute. But on the other hand, most schools do seem to follow a very consistent pattern year to year.
Besides, there are almost 3 hours till lunchtime.

Earlier in the thread, someone said they called the admissions office and found out that we won't receive anything until Wednesday most likely.... But that still hasn't stopped me from checking my email every 2 seconds.

Damn, 10:03 has come and gone.
Yeah, they'll email us when the website has been updated.
What time did they send them last year?
Withnail said:
Any updates? Anyone else call? I wonder if they're still thinking Wed...
ChocolateKiss said:
If they were going to email us all before lunch, as someone else in this thread suggested, we would have received an email by now. It looks like they're heading to Wednesday.
I just downloaded the Gmail Notifier. Now instead of checking my email constantly, I just stare nonstop at the little icon on my toolbar. They better tell us tomorrow, or .... I don't know what I'll do 😛
Where did the UPenn poll thread go?
Three words, Penn:
Un. Acc. Eptable.
Come on! We love you! What can be taking so long? Uploading? Double-checking? Writing nice messages about how we all get full rides? If they projected they would announce this week, they must have decided last week.... come onnnnnnn!
I need to ask for patience for my next birthday, I clearly lost mine somewhere along the way.

I refuse to let this thread be anywhere except on the first page! BUMP!

Thursday, Friday, or MONDAY?!?! Do not say such words. That is just scary.
I think this thread needs some optimism.
Maybe we need a new poll:
"Who else can't wait until Penn decisions are released on Wednesday?"
If you can't do anything else but check your e-mail, go to sleep now and sleep in until 10am eastern time. 😴
OK, so I'm not actually going to post a poll like that, but think positive and it will happen.
Good luck tomorrow!!!

Because I've pretty much devoted my week to this thread...
Is Penn you guys' first choice? What other schools are you considering?
Also, I've heard that a "top of Tier 1" waitlist is pretty much a guaranteed acceptance if you write a letter of intent... can anyone verify this?
I'm going to a meeting now... And the first thing I'll do when I get back? Check SDN, of course 😛

Penn's been one of my top 2 along with Hopkins. It's a pretty sweet place.
