I just received an invitation for an interview. Just curious as to what date others are going and what hotel or lodging others are staying at.

When did AADSAAS mail your stuff, and when did you finish sending in your secondaries?
they mailed my stuff mid july, I had to retake my DAT on Auguest 1st so I think that held up the review of my application a little bit, otherwise i submitted my secondary about a month ago and received the letter today for the interview.
Interview is on October 5th. App was mailed out on July 17th, but took the DAT on July 31st and I heard from another school that they got the scores around August 10th. Submitted secondary in the middle of July. Haven't decided on a hotel yet. Anyone know which one is the best deal out of the list UPenn sent? I haven't had a chance to call the hotels yet to see prices.

Interview on Sept 22, mailed out July 17th... submitted my secondary in June. I also need info on hotels as I want one that's cheap and preferably relatively close to the campus. $120 seems kinda steep...
yea that sheet of paper they sent with the hotel isn't a bad price, it is right next to the campus (practically on the campus), I think it is going to be very hard to find a hotel for under $100 in philly.

mine's on the 29th of september. I think they said to fly in to the int'l airport. If you guys have friends on campus, there's a shuttle to the campus from the airport🙂
Good luck to all of you!!🙂 Upenn should be a great (but expensive) experience!

When I called the Inn at Penn, they said their Penn rate was booked every Thursday/Friday night in September, October and November. If anyone heard differently, let me know.

How far back is Penn booked? I just got an interview letter from them on Friday, and I'll call them tomorrow.
The cheapest hotel that is close to the school is the Sheraton in University City (36th and Chestnut - the dental school is located on 40th and Spruce). The Inn at Pen is a Hilton and it's gonna be a bit more. Penn is not far from downtown (called Center City) and you can easily take a taxi from there to your interview. There are more hotels in CC and you'll probably find a better rate down there. Congratulations on your interview and best of luck!

I had an interview on October 13th but because of schedule conflicts I moved it back to November 11th. Do you think this will affect my chances of admission to be interviewed this late? Did I just give up a prime spot? I am worried because my DAT scores are low but my gpa is high. Any advice?

They expect over 2500 applications this year and right now feel the applicant pool is strong enough to only give 300 interviews for the entire cycle.
No. Penn does not rush to fill their class on December 1st and they give equal weight to all applicants, regardless of when the interview falls on Penn's schedule. Time-wise you're fine - knock 'em dead in the interview!
