I was on interview waitlist initially (1/16), and then got an offer to interview on 1/23 for Feb 9. GL frends!!

any updates for acceptances and/or rejections? they've always let applicants know within the week in the past :/

Nothing here :/ I’m starting to think it won’t be until after all interviews are done. I hope I’m wrong though!

I heard they’re releasing decisions all together once interviews are done

Gotcha! Gonna be a long month of waiting lol. I kind of wish I got a later interview date then so I had more time to prepare and less time to wait afterwards but it is what it is

How would you have prepared in retrospect? Mine is next Friday but unsure how to prepare.

They send the prompt the Wednesday before and then I just researched a lot and made lots of notes. So I guess I couldn’t have been more prepared lol. But still less time between the interview and the decision for me to spiral about every little thing I said. Good luck next week!

Is next week the last interview? Or is there still another after that?

email says they'll be done with interviews by mid-feb and decisions will be out by 2/28, hoping it comes out earlier though

 

[futurevetH02]

The waiting is gunna be killer now 😆

 

[kittycity]

Me too! I had my interview just today and I was pleased with my interview- I would not change a thing about it! This waiting game is brutal :/

 

[hopefullyfuturedogtor]

Has anyone else got pulled out of the waitlist?

I honestly thought the interview was kinda fun!

I haven't. Since interviews are almost over it's unlikely for anyone to get pulled at this point.

I thought it was fun too! 🙂
The topic I had was very thought provoking and led to a very nice discussion. Best of luck everyone!!

You never know! In the pre-interview email, admissions said that they have interviews until mid-feb. So, there's still a possibility!

Is anyone interviewing tomorrow at 10:30a on here? Feel free to message me 🙂 I am working through my thoughts but am nervous!

haha I was in that group, not sure if we were in the same zoom but i thought it went well 🙂

 

[dpmarenghi]

Are Penns interviews over? If so, do we think we’ll hear back sooner than the 28th as they’ve been pretty quick after interviews ended with sending decisions in past years?

 

[gmiranda164]

OOS rejection. Was on waitlist for interview

 

[Prevet115]

OOS rejection. Was on waitlist for interview

Was it an email you received?

 

[gmiranda164]

Was it an email you received?

yupp

 

[Prevet115]

Did anyone else on the waitlist receive this email? Or do we think they’re going to send another wave of interview invites?

 

[MintyMoose]

OOS Rejection

 

[garoessn]

Rejected off waitlist. See y'all next year I suppose.

 

[spookyoctopus]

OOS Rejection

Did you interview? Or were you on a waitlist?

 

[ihm]

OOS rejection after being on interview waitlist. Last year i was offered the chance to do an app review but this year they didn’t mention anything in the email

 

[vetgal5293]

Has anyone heard anything?

 

[catsforever]

nope

 

[futurevetH02]

They said by the 28th... Not hopeful for tomorrow but maybe next week

 

[gracegoesvet]

not yet! I am sure this thread will explode when they start to roll out

 

[futurevetH02]

I really hope we hear this week

 

[opossumfan]

I didn't feel great about my interview so im ready for the worst lol

I have no idea how to gauge how I did with the interview style... no idea like what they were looking for

 

[futurevetH02]

Does anyone know if Penn does like an accepted student info/tour day?

 

[Prevet115]

This wait is BRUTAL!! But hey only at most 1 more week of waiting 🥲

I still jump every time I get an email regardless lol

POV: me answering every call with a number not in my contacts because IT COULD BE PENN haha

 

[mabelsmom]

I asked them at the interview what they were hoping to assess with this interview style and they said how you communicate/cooperate with others, how you formulate arguments, how you express yourself etc.

Literally, because ive been answering calls more often im getting flooded with several spams a day

Interesting! I'm curious to see if they keep this interview style for next year or not

lol same. Do we think they’re going to call this year or send emails like they did for interviews?

 

[futurevetH02]

lol same. Do we think they’re going to call this year or send emails like they did for interviews?

I like emails better so everyone hears at the same time but honestly who knows lol... I assume same as it was in past years but idk if that was call or email

 

[Prevet115]

I also like emails better. The last few years I think they called the Monday and Tuesday after the interview and emailed on Wednesday. At least that’s what I understand from reading previous threads. But they also did the entire interview process differently this year so who knows

 

[gracegoesvet]

Yeah, in the past you got a call and an email follow up. We shall see! Less than a week left of waiting. You got this guys!

Do you know if they only called acceptances or did they call if you are rejected or waitlisted?

 

[futurevetH02]

Do you know if they only called acceptances or did they call if you are rejected or waitlisted?

Considering how many people they interview, I'd assume only call acceptances cause that would still be like over 100 phone calls to make
