The rejection letter sounds like it's a generic one?
Are you IS or OOS?I got the same rejection email too today. I’d be interested to see their stats as they claim to not value gpa as much as experience ♀
It seems to be pretty split. Lots of people with okay GPA’s and great experience, but also a lot of people with very high GPA’s. It’s moreso that if your GPA isn’t a 3.7 or something you’re not out of the running.I got the same rejection email too today.

I spoke with UPenn over the summer for a file review. About GRE scores they said they know it doesn’t mean much (how GRE scores don’t really predict how you will do in vet school or in life) and they are more holistic but they still use it for if you don’t get over a certain score then you are not really looked at. Even though it is a “holistic” review, they definitely have a cut off in scores.
No, sorry. I’m OOS also. She said that my GRE scores was fine, that I didn’t have to worry about the cut off as an issue/I didn’t have to retake my GRE.do you know what their cut off is?
im OOS
My interview invite came Dec 7th for a Jan interview, so don't worry, there is still time!
Get back to parasit!
Hahaha thank god it's over! I don't know why but I was one of the last people there. I decided to run my fecal at the end and do everything else first and I was getting so many odd stares of people thinking, "did he eff it up and he's re-running it?", "damn, he's only running it now? He's gonna be effed"Get back to parasit!
make it stop
Do I know you/you know me?

Hahaha, I'm always down for a good challengeWell that solves that
What makes you think we will? Just wondering what you've heard.Anyone think we will start hearing about invites today?

I've also heard that they sometimes hold out on releasing invites until the end of their undergrad final exams. If that's true, that wouldn't be until the week of the 16th. Hoping thats not true for this year, though!I saw in an earlier post that for the past few years the first set of interviews have been coming out the first Thursday in December. I was just kinda hoping that it would happen this year!
Don’t worry. It could be another month or more before you hear anything. In fact that’s actually pretty likely. I interviewed on I think the 3rd or 4th day and my invite came on January 4th. So if you don’t hear before January, you’re likely in the majority.Hi everyone! I'm kinda late seeing this thread, but I am an IS applicant. Have not yet heard back about my interview decision, last I heard was an acknowledgement of my completed application.
To be honest, Penn is not my top choice even though I'm in state. I am not a city person at all; so I would probably commute if I ended up going here.Don’t do it it’s a trap

I commuted all 4 years. Worked well for me as I also don’t like cities. It’s definitely doable.To be honest, Penn is not my top choice even though I'm in state. I am not a city person at all; so I would probably commute if I ended up going here.
They usually start at the beginning-ish of January. I’ve heard of people interviewing in December but apparently that’s only a very small group of people. Then it goes into mid February I believe.Does anyone know when they start interviewing and when they end? does it go into feb?
The first round of interview invites should go out in the next couple weeksWhen do you think we will start hearing back about interviews or rejections?
That late for you guys? I think I got mine Dec 7th but that was a couple years ago (and for the first possible date), so if people heard this Thursday, it was only for the first wave -- and there are some 8 interview dates or so?The first round of interview invites should go out in the next couple weeks
Last year there were 6 interview dates. I believe the first invites went out on December 21st.That late for you guys?

Last year the first round went out the 11th. From my thread stalking, I think tomorrow will be the day for the first roundLast year there were 6 interview dates. I believe the first invites went out on December 21st.
Oh yea you’re right. December 11th and 14th it looks like for the first two interview days. Then nothing until January 4th which was when I received mine for the third day. So if you don’t hear anything in the next week or so, don’t worry. It really doesn’t mean anything.Last year the first round went out the 11th.
