Too Late to Do UPenn's Supplemental & Be Considered for Interview?

Hello,

I applied to UPenn a while ago and received the supplementary app from them. I have yet to do it however - I've been busy with courses and just haven't gotten around to it. However, now that my courses are over with I have time to do the supplemental app. But if UPenn has already started giving out interview invites, does that mean that I would now have a lower chance at getting one? Or is late-August still considered early enough to be considered for an interview pre-Dec. 1st?

I already had filled out the form and I have a money order all set to go - I just need to do the essay questions, which I could probably have done and send out my supp app by Tuesday at the latest.

Also as a sidenote - on page 2 of the supp app, for some reason it won't let me type in one of the fields. Do you think it looks bad if one of the fields is filled out by hand while the rest of the app is typed? Or should fill out the entire app by hand so that it is all the same?

Thanks.

I doubt it's too late...don't let these interview offers scare you (I should take my own advice). I submitted mine 2 months ago and have been making special trips out to the mailbox everyday and have received NOTHING. It gets so depressing that I hang my head in shame and sullenly walk back to my apt.

And yes...everyone has that problem with the application and not being able to fill the field with the first or second evaluator. Just handwrite it! 🙂

Anyways...just take a chance and send the dang thing! That is always the best method because there is never any harm in trying. 👍
