•••••How do u know that? (I mean abt midnight?)
😕
 
I think he was joking, like the admissions people are going to be there at midnight on a Sunday night or something.
 
*sighs* Just checked the site in hopes that it would update automatically at midnight Eastern time..no such luck. Gonna have to wait another few hours to find out.
 
I leave for Vermont at noon tomorrow. I hope they update it by then. 🙂
 
has anyone tried checking after 8 am eastern time today?
 
nothing yet as of 8:30 EST.
 
Ok it's 10 am EST and I wonder if they're still getting their morning coffee... nothing's changed on the status page <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />
 
All they told me was that they'd post the results on the page "sometime the week of March 11th."

Are we sure that its going to be today ??
 
Also, didn't they say they would send us an email first, after which the decision would be up on the status page? If that's true I'm going to start refreshing my Inbox more often than the status page 🙂
 
I have no idea on the email thing.

It would seem that it would save them a great deal of grief if they sent an email to all the interviewees at somepoint telling us that its on the status page such that we wouldn't have to be obsessively checking. . .

Then today is what the last 23 years of my life have boiled down to...Penn is my #1 choice.

Here's to wishing us all excellent luck and acceptances! 🙂
 
I just called the admissions office- The woman said they are NOT posting decisions today- all she would say is that it will be some time this week.
Why can't these offices just set deadlines, tell everyone the same thing, and meet those deadlines ! 😡 😡 😡
 
I just called too. Someone (maybe the same person?) said that we'll get an email and a letter, but was elusive as to the web posting bit. She did say that decisions "more than likely" have been made.

Good luck all! 🙂
 
I don't understand why they won't tell you guys if they know.... you DID pay the 65$ and you DID drive/fly/walk out ther eto interview... why do people who work in the admissions dept. sometimes think that you somehow don't deserve to know... SHEEESH!
 
Oh, and thats just frustration for you guys. UPenn rejected my a$$ without an interview. 😛
 
Okay...the LEAST that could do after 5 months of waiting is to have some sort of consensus as to when they're going to let us know...especially the week of!!!

Arrrg! 😡
 
Thanks incidenary and Dr. G for calling - I almost killed my comp checking email/Penn site every 5 minutes for the last two hours.
Alright, I'm taking deep breaths and trying to relax - after all, whats a week when we've been waiting for months.
Good luck all.
 
I damn near had a heartattack when I clicked the button on the webstatus page to see if I was accepted... Then I checked my email..held my breath when I saw that I had 3 new ones..and NOTHING.

So I called Penn. I recognized the voice of the girl because I spoke to her two days ago. Two days ago she told me firmly that I would find out on the 11th. Now she said I'd find out the week of the 11th. God damnit I'm a person not an emotional rollercoaster! I'm sorry but if offices set up deadlines then they should meet them.

How would they have treated us if we showed up 2 days late for an interview!???
 
Hey guys,
How abt we play hard to get. and pretend that we really dont care abt UPENN @ all (hehehehehe). I think they r getting too much attn! (yeah right) :wink:
 
just to change the subject for a minute...does anyone know the FAFSA code for Penn...I have 003378. Other schools have different codes for different divisions of their university (undergrad, medschool, lawschool) but the Univ. of Penn only gives this one. Is this the right one then?
thanks
 
Yes, that's the code I have. It appears to be right 🙂
 
What happens when you try to access the status page? When I put in my info and click submit, nothing happens. It used to say that my file was complete. Now it just does absolutely nothing.
 
gobear - try again. mine still says application complete.
dammit - I wish something would move, wouldnt it be cool if the colors changed at least, or maybe if there was a little sand-clock slowly dripping.
Where is trout anyway - time to skin the messenger:
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TODAY MAN!!!
 
Make sure you are using the right link, bears.

Try this one

<a href="https://www.med.upenn.edu/apps/MD_app_status/" target="_blank">Penn Status Page</a>

You have to go to the original page i.e type in <a href="http://www.med.upenn.edu/admiss/status/" target="_blank">http://www.med.upenn.edu/admiss/status/</a>
If you try and use the "favorites" feature, it doesnt work. If your browser supports it, all you have to do next time is type in med.upenn......and the browser brings up the rest for you.
hope it works for you! 🙂
 
Thanks TimeQuaker! Thanks Naijahopeful! Now it works. Okay, mine is still giving me the Application Complete notice.
 
Does this mean some ppl have heard from Upenn? 😕 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

sorry that was UPENN decisions....I must be losing it!
So much for being able to check your status online! I have been checking every hour...I think I am going out and not going to think abt this AGAIN
😛 <img border="0" alt="[Pity]" title="" src="graemlins/pity.gif" /> 😡
 
So no one has gotten an email or whatever yet?

Also, are the only decisions left waitlists and acceptances? I read on interviewfeedback that at least some people have been rejected on a rolling basis (one unlucky girl as early as two weeks after her interview!).

Incendiary,

I wish that it could be all acceptances, etc., for your sake and the sake of everyone else waiting. .. but I doubt that this is the case simply because I was never granted an interview, but have still not received a rejection letter yet. So I'm expecting to get the thin envelope whenever UPenn releases the rest of the decisions.

Good luck to all those waiting to hear, I've got my fingers crossed for you! 🙂
 
The waiting is killing me inside too!! At least I got some ice cream to eat while i wait. heh.

Hey Guys,
Does anyone know where I can find Penn match results? I've been hunting around for it but haven't found anything yet.
 
Sorry guys!!! I just got back from a long weekend and was expecting a long acceptance thread...I really did call friday and a "younger" sounding woman said in a rather extended Mondddaaayyy!!
 
does anyone know how many total interviews were granted?
 
Good Luck, Dr. L....I'm cheering for ya'.
:clap:
 
•••quote:•••Originally posted by chouette:

mmmmm•••••It was Ben and Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup. I also like their chubby hubby ice cream. mmmmm. I need to find some other things to keep my mind off this waiting game. . . .
 
Some guy on interview feedback called pennboi alleges he got in . He posted the remark @ ~5pm today.
to see the post you have to scroll down to the bottom of the page where it says remarks....has anyone else heard?

Waking up this morning was just like Christmas day. I was all excited to see what kind of present UPenn left me in my email stocking. Then to my great sorrow I get up only to find that Santa decided to postpone Christmas until, eh, whenever he feels like getting around to it 🙄 .
 
Hold on a second - on the accepted/waitlist/reject post - two people have posted about Penn - 1 waitlist, 1 reject.
Anyone have any idea what this is about?
