Penn State acceptance

[Radbone]

Hey All:
Quick Q. I interviewed at Penn State (12/12) and they told us we would know 4-6 weeks. I received my first acceptance )) dated 12/18. Do these things normally happen? I am just curious.

P.S. I ask also bc I am 25Q 3.8 GPA...well rounded extra currics (many leadership roles), clinical exposure, and research.
Thanks!

P.S. i know why you got in. It all has to do with your research mentor, you know the one who invented the peanut butter cup. Wow what a bad joke...However i had to say it.

Yeah, that is quick. I interviewed 11/6, and was told it would take 6-8 weeks at the time. I still haven't heard anything. Did they call you, email you, snail-mail you, or what?

 

[Radbone]

They snail-mailed me...I got it on Saturday 12/23..it was dated 12/19 not 12/18 (my mistake). I was very surprised...it came in a big white envelope (the ones you always want to see). I emailed the Drs and admissions office a thank you note few days before (only received response from ad. office).

Thats good to hear. I am on the other end of the timeline. I interviewed in early oct and was accepted 12/16 so it took over 10 weeks. But i am excited to have an acceptance. Are you guys considering going there and why?

Congrats, OP. Your story can provide a lot of hope for some of the other forum members with 25 MCATs. I recall reading several other threads of ppl asking if they stood a chance with similar scores. Congrats again! Perhaps we will be classmates.
