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

Has anyone who interviewed January 31st heard back yet with an acceptance/waitlist/rejection ?

I interviewed the day before you and haven't heard anything. They did tell me that the wait time isn't necessarily two weeks because they are still considering a lot of applicants.
 
Wrong school. Lol I was talking about BU. my bad everyone!

I know... that $3000 deposit was brutal 🙁
I'll have to give that up if I get into PENN
 
got the call today. interviewed two thursdays ago. good luck everyone.
 
Lol I wonder if there are even any seats available at this point :/
 
Do you think it's safe to say if we dont get a call today and interview that same week (Feb 20) we are on the waitlist?
Remember Corky said she picks the most suitable applicants first, and it might take a little longer for others to process.

Btw, does she only give out acceptance calls on Mondays???

I got a call on a Wednesday. Definitely wasn't expecting it!
 
lol two people from my university just got accepted. I guess they give out acceptances other than mondays as well
 
Is Penn still interviewing people or are they done with that part of admissions? The class was just half full at the end of January and I wonder how many seats are left now.
 
Do you happen to know when they interviewed?

I have a feeling this was partly about me. I just posted it on Facebook this morning... but I got the call in the middle of February after interviewing in January.

When in January did you interview, if don't mind me asking?
 
Did they say anything about the fate of the people that interviewed when you did? If we didn't get a call are we waitlisted?

She said no news is a good news... I called them and corky said that since we're the very last batch, it takes more time for them to consider us. they took in two~three of the strongest candidates per week, two mondays from interview (this was just yesterday). I'm hoping to be waitlisted at least. I thought did a fantastic job though... we'll see how it goes. It's only been 7 business days.
 
When you guys call, do you ask to speak directly with Corky? Or do you speak with whoever picks up?
 
in my case it was corky.

Does Corky usually answer the phone herself? I've called a couple of times and spoken with a woman but I don't think it was Corky (because she didn't specify). During my last call, I mentioned a correspondence I had with Corky so I hope I wasn't actually talking to her haha. Ah the wait is making me think too much about the smallest details...
 
decided to defer my acceptance. this should open up a spot and i hope one of you guys get it, especially the people i met during my interview!

If you don't mind, what's your reason for deferring? Does it mean you're automatically accepted into the c/o 2019? Just curious about the deferring process. Thanks.
