Is it true that UPenn sends you either the interview letter or the rejection letter within 2 weeks after your application is complete?
I submitted my secondaries early Oct. and didn't hear anything from them.
anyone????????????

UPenn has received 1,400 applications so far, which is a huge increase over last cycle and I know this is slowing thigns down quite a bit. Go ahead and give the admissions office a call to determine the status of your application (215) 898-8943. Best of luck!
 
I got rejected from them couple of weeks ago. 😡 This is 2 months after my application was sent out!!
 
do you think no news is bad news then?
for people who got interview letters - did you guys get them after 2-3weeks once your application was complete?
and I guess people who are getting rejected get their letters after 1-2 months.
dang.. I am getting nervous now.

my application was completed on Oct 7th and is still under review at UPenn 😕
 
Penn sent me a letter stating that my file was complete in late Sept. I received an invitation for interview in about a week. They seem to be very organized. I'm always getting brochures and info from them....

Do you mind telling me your stats?

I just called them and the lady told me my application was completed in late september and it's still under review. why is it taking so long for them to review my application?

raZ10, UPENN is very organized but Columbia is super-fast. If you don't hear anything from UPENN in the next few days you should call UPENN.

P.S. USC is very slow. I haven't heard from USC eventhough many months ago USC told me I have a very competitive application. Not sure if anything is missing. I just don't feel like calling them because I am just tired of going to more interviews... :laugh:

DAT: 22 science, 21 overall
GPA: overall 3.7, BCP 4.0

It's a very random process I think - I haven't heard anything from Columbia, Tufts, etc. I just received an interview at USC...

Just call UPenn - they are very friendly and they usually pick up in just one ring.

I just called them in the morning, they said my file is on the review and will send either invitation or rejection letter. You should call them and ask about status of your application.
 
My file has been complete since mid August and I still haven't heard from them... 😳
I've called a number of times... they told me that my file is still "under review"

Does Penn update the AADSAS website? Who else does/does not?

No, admissions does not update the InforSource. Most schools didn't update infosource, or updated it way after I had received anything in the mail from them.
