Do you guys think I ruined my chances for a scholarship from Penn by telling them over the phone this morning that UPenn has been my top choice? Are they less likely to give you $ if they know you like then anyways?

@swindoll they give the scholarship when they accept you. It's not after

I know, but I mean what if she was going to offer the scholarship, but then decided not to because I said I will be attending? haha I'm overthinking this probably, but I just feel like I shouldn't have said they're my top choice because now I'm definitely not getting any $.
 
How much of a scholarship is it, do you know? I mean, 450K total cost is crazy... so one would hope that the scholarship is big enough to help chip away at that number

I'm pretty sure they said anywhere from 10-30k a year when I interviewed. Can't be sure though since I didn't get one. But just happy and grateful to have been accepted!

For those who have been accepted, does your status on AADSAS change immediately?

Not all, but some did, yes. If you got an email or phone call confirming you were accepted, then you are good regardless of what portal says. For those that did change on Portal (after phone calls, for me at least) say "Offer made." Hope this helps.
 
Congrats! Did you have a lot of research and volunteer experience?

Just did an internship at a medical college over a summer. That's about it for research. I did a lot of volunteering doing various things within the community and abroad.
