After 7 is that it for acceptances? Or are they calling tomorrow too?

Corky said that she was at a certain point in the alphabet and then realized it was getting late... so she will be going from the east coast to the west coast

anyone having interview in January?

I do! Already have a few acceptances but Penn is my alma mater and would still love to attend there. Actually, I would love to attend any school that is willing to take the chance on me. I hope having a post dec interview doesn't hurt my chances too much. You have an interview in Jan?

Congrats to all who got accepted to Penn today!
 
Just got the Call. Corky said she will continue to call tomorrow, No worry, buddy. You might receive call tomorrow!
 
Phone call 20 minutes ago 🙂 Excited for Penn Dental !

Did she mention you being the last call of the day?
 
Got a call from Corky! She was still calling as of 630 PST.
 
Congratz to everyone who got accepted to Penn!!!!
For those who got the phone call, I forgot to ask about the Scholarship too, but does Corky tell you if you get the scholarship? or is it put in our acceptance package if we're chosen?

Really hope it's in our package. I love Penn, but the full cost is absolutely crazy.

I was told that Corky would have told you if you were offered a scholarship when she called, but maybe not
 
I asked- didn't get one. I heard she tells you if you do get one. Merrrr these tuition numbers are crazyyy

I am interviewing Jan 17th. thoughts on how hopeful I should still be ?
 
Accepted around 645 PST last night - unfortunately no scholarship offer. Tuition is too much for me to handle considering some of my other options. Congrats on everyone that was accepted, and here's to hoping my withdrawal goes to someone that deserves it !
 
I got accepted into UPenn last night! Corky called during my celebration dinner lol! I was definitely not expecting to get accepted into this excellent school, much less get a scholarship offer!

I interviewed around that time last year as well... and I'm currently studying for my angiology exam tomorrow as a D1. Penn doesn't interview just anyone... your chances are still pretty good! Best of luck! Hope to see you all next year!

did anyone get Dean's Scholarship?? I got $30,000 per year.

Did Corky mention it over the phone or did you find out in the mail? I got called late at night so I'm holding out hope that maybe I'll be getting one in the mail, but it's hard to gauge.
 
Yeah, I was wondering about the scholarship as well....They only gave out one to first batch of acceptances I was told...I didn't get it, she didn't mention it on the phone. Praying it's in my acceptance package.
 
I doubt its in the acceptance package... when I asked I was told we could call back in January to see if people turned it down but that's unlikely 🙁 Sucks because I like this school but the tuition makes me a little bit sick to look at lol
 
I was told when I called that it is in the acceptance package...then again I was also told only one person in first batch of acceptances received it..which doesn't seem accurate based on the above. Guess we'll find out soon enough.
 
Oh no now you've given me hope haha. Good luck to you!

Seems like clubwestpua already claimed the first and only pre-dec scholarship...:/
 
Scholarship or no scholarship, looking forward to an awesome 4 years at Penn Dental with all of you !!!! Already looks like a great community of people

She'll tell you during the phone call, but it will also be in your acceptance package (in case she forgot to mention it with all your excitement).

I also got a scholarship that apparently gets renewed automatically each year (if I choose to attend Penn Dental).

Corky should have mentioned it to you during the phone call, but don't lose hope!


Good luck everyone!
 
I put down a deposit for UPenn today! 👍 So excited to go here! Please pm me if you are going here too so we can become friends!:highfive:
BTW, I got a scholarship offer too.
 
Just got my interview invitation! So psyched! Corky rocks!
I would love to hear more about the interview process!

Definitely the most relaxed interviews (you have 2 interviews at Penn) I attended this application cycle. Just be yourself, stay happy and you'll do fine. I don't think they'll try to trick you with anything. Best of luck 🙂

Awesome! I love these kind of interviews, if anyone has any specifics of the type of questioning, agenda of the day, or any other information about the experience that would be much appreciated!

Also, if anyone is interviewing on Jan. 24th let me know!
