UPenn just showed up on my AADSAS on the 10/28?? Does it mean they just got to my application? It was mailed out July 5th!

I never had Upenn on my portal and I was complete on 7/5. What does this mean? Should I call them?

I wouldn't make too much of it. I got my invitation prior to UPenn appearing on my portal, and even after my interview, it still says "Received/Under review". I'm pretty sure UPenn relies heavily on email correspondence rather than the portal.
 
Hi All,
Anyone who has interviewed want to share any experiences? I will be interviewing in the next few weeks, so just wanted to see how it was in terms of # of interviewers, stressfulness, etc. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Format was exactly as it was listed in the interview packet. As stress-free as it can get.

I was invited for interview back in August and interviewed in October and UPenn is still not on my AADSAS portal...what does this mean?

Their Application Complete email clearly states that "Please note that the UPSDM does not use the AADSAS portal to notify applicants regarding status changes."

Don't make too much of it. There are only a handful of schools that actually use the portal, whereas UPenn prefers email correspondence.

Thanks! I just wasn't sure because it seems as though some people actually do have UPenn on their portal.
 
Hi everyone! I was wondering how long it took for those of you who have received interview invites to get the invite from the time your application was official received!
 
I just got the email for interview invite! Its probably gonna be a post december 2nd interview, right??
 
What... My status changed from "application complete" to " under review". Haha I sent my app on 7/19, took a long time....

people who already had an interview can't be rejected before Dec 2. At least that's what I think

8/6 complete
9/3 interview invitation
 
I know this seems to be the question of the day lately, but does anyone know what it means (if anything) if you interviewed someplace and your portal HASN'T updated to "Check back December 2nd"? I'm sure there isn't any intrinsic meaning on your acceptance/rejection, right?

It doesn't matter. Some schools update the portal, some don't. If I recall correctly, UPenn will be doing phone calls on Dec. 2nd.
 
Yep! Got an acceptance call from Corky earlier today!! She said letters are going out in the mail today.

I feel the same way! I thought I did pretty good during the interview. I am getting so anxious...its like 2:30 EST...
 
HANG IN THERE EVERYONE. They are running behind with their calls! I just received one from Corky five minutes ago, so stay glued to your phones!
 
She says she's jumping around the alphabet also, so if you're at the front don't think they've skipped you!

Sooo...do you think they are done calling for the day or will there be more calls tomorrow?
 
Does anyone know if they're going to call more people tomorrow??
