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
Where did you hear that?

Current pennvet students- I’m an undergrad at Penn and work in the vet school
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!

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!

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?

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

I still jump every time I get an email regardless lol

Grace G: Grace Goes Vet
POV: me answering every call with a number not in my contacts because IT COULD BE PENN haha
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.

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?

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
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
Grace G: Grace Goes Vet
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?

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