Does anyone know whats going on with Penn-- how long from when you got the completion letter did you receive an interview invite?

Are all the pre-dec interviews full?

I hate snail-mail !!

Submitted my secondary in mid-Sept as well and haven't heard a peep. Expecting rejection.
 
I think I win. My app was fully, 100% complete on 8/5 and I JUST received the "application complete" letter on MONDAY. Super frustrating and kinda off-putting.
 
I submitted *everything* to Penn as soon as possible. My aadsas was mailed out in the first batch, and I sent my check and supplemental as soon as they were made available. However, I have yet to hear anything from them - so, I also assume rejection...
 
Sounds like me...waiting on Tufts and UMDNJ. Not a peep since July.
 
finished my secondary the first week of september and got an interview invitation october 21st. i can't believe they only do snail mail and nothing else.
 
I'm expecting a rejection as well...submitted my supplemental in late Sept (I know, it's bad). Just called them and they told me my app is still under review (yeah...right....)....sigh 🙁🙁🙁

I feel you bro!

On the other hand, my endo claims that its because he called the school and told them NO WAY! :laugh:
 
im in the same boat. pretty confident this means rejection.
 
You guys aren't missing out lol. Feel blessed it's not working out with Penn.
 
i would feel better if Penn was upfront about these rejections--it would one more item i can cross off my list. (i actually like ucsf's policy of informing denied applicants right away)

Sorry what? They'd tell us rejections right away? Like pre-Dec? By Email or Phone or Mail?

Edit: I was referring to UCSF. I apologize for any confusions!

Penn does everything by mail.

They probably got a great deal from a paper company, and bought tons of high quality paper back in the day before the internet. Now they have 30 years worth of high quality paper and need to get rid of them by doing everything by mail.
 
Same boat as OP. Been waiting since mid Sept. Assuming rejection, and I'm pretty sure all pre-Dec interviews have gone out.

i think ucsf emails out rejections
 
It's still early in the cycle. Don't lose hope. I hope it works out for everyone. It's an amazing school..really great program.
