** The Official UPenn Class of 2018 Interview/Acceptance Thread **

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.

 

[honorandrespect]

Thank you Ionz! That is reassuring.

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!

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

What are your stats like? and IS or OOS?
I've been waiting for months to hear back! 😛 Im OOS but have pretty strong stats

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.

Good luck to everyone! If accepted, make sure to join the Class of 2018 Facebook group to have all your questions answered!

Yeah I interviewed early October... officially starting to panic and second guess everything I said in the interview! So much for maintaining my sanity today

[hahahigh]

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!

 

[hahahigh]

She says she's jumping around the alphabet also, so if you're at the front don't think they've skipped you!

Did she mention anything about doing calls by interview date/batches?

 

[hahahigh]

Did she mention anything about doing calls by interview date/batches?

She did not, just that they were jumping around a little at this point.

 

[Troyvdg]

Did she mention anything about doing calls by interview date/batches?

hopefully not haha, I was the first date and haven't heard back yet. Anxiously awaiting😱
