***The Official UPenn Class of 2021 Interview/Acceptance Thread***

Members do not see this ad.

Just be patient! Unlike other schools we don't completely fill up the class on Dec 1!

Thank you. Also I heard that a large percentage of people that have already been accepted will give up their seats at Penn to go to cheaper/state schools, correct? So the the chance is still good for us with post-Dec interviews?

Just got an email for interview at 3 pm today, after I announced yesterday that I'll be spending next year as a FL Gator. Trying extremely hard not to cry that I have to call them tomorrow to decline. I hope someone here gets the spot.

Gonna start personally thanking folks who are declining Penn .

Thanks for being an awesome enough applicant to get into your first choice!

Just received rejection through mail today dated Dec 2nd, so sad. Wrote a LOI to them before today but after Dec 2nd, would they reconsider my application?

 

[golden_blue]

When I sent them the LOI email, they said it would be added to my file and didn't mention about the rejection.

 

[golden_blue]

Oh, and I didn't have interview.

 

[SEW413]

Has anyone that interviewed in early December heard back yet?

[ultimateballer07]

Whoever is still waiting on an interview at Penn or received an interview and needs advice, DM me. For those of you still playing the waiting game, sit tight! Penn sends invites until March.

Hi guys, I just got interview invite yesterday, Could anyone who interviewed before let me know if there is writing sample exercise on the interview day? It says on the official website.

 

[Azide047]

I got an interview offer yesterday as well ^. what's this writing assignment about?

 

[Azide047]

No interview. 3.4 undergrad, 4.0 SMP, around 3.6 combined. 25AA

I'm surprised... those are really good stats, especially that 4.0 Masters degree...

no writing section very chill interview. hahah for me, half of the time we were talking about something else than dentistry... lol places to go eat around Philly. I think it was really chill just like meeting a stranger from the street and introducing yourself but putting slight focus on dental. don't sweat it they won't come hunting you hahah

 

[Will Jun]

Did people send in a separate official transcript to upenn alone after the interview? I was reading the school's website and it state I need to. I was just wondering if people do.

• Official Transcripts — All applicants must submit official transcripts to the AADSASapplication service for verification. AADSAS applications will not be processed and sent to the individual schools until transcripts are received and verified. The Penn Dental Medicine Admissions Office requires official transcripts only from candidates who have been invited to interview. Please do not forward transcripts to the Penn Dental Medicine Admissions Office until notified to do so.

do you mind sharing your stats, also in state or oos?... just wondering.. still awaiting an interview 🙁

 

[Azide047]

Sure I'd love to help. I'm going to be very straight with you.

1. Check my tiny signature
2. I'm OOS everywhere but that doesn't matter when we are talking about schools like Penn.

My advice: Do some independent research.
Why: What questions do you need to ask yourself to get the answers you're looking for? Identify those and you can go hunt down the answers online without talking to anyone else.

PM me anytime. I mean that. Just make sure the questions you're asking can't be found elsewhere first.

Slightly off topic but entirely relevant: is a car need for UPenn? When I interviewed it seemed like it would be a hassle. I obviously would plan on living slightly West of the school, West of university city.

Years 1-2?
Years 3-4?

Definitely not. SEPTA has you covered.

 

[Viva Terlingua]

Did anybody that does not have an interview invite or a rejection NOT have their status change to "under review" last week?

 

[Thinkthink]

Hey all. Just posting this here. This is the UPenn 2021 group to join if you've been accepted. I'm currently looking for roommates. Please reply there if you're looking to tag team up in the search of cheaper rent!
