For people interviewing, when did they send you the email with interview details? My interview is this Thursday and I still have not received anything.

They sent it to me Tuesday late afternoon for my Friday interview.

Does anyone know what chances generally look like for pre-December interviews? I loved the school more than either of the other two I’ve interviewed at so far and I’m praying that my 23 DAT carries me to an acceptance here...

According to this spreadsheet they interview about 350-360 students and ultimately accept about 135. So 35-ish% chance post interview based solely on the numbers

Mine has been received/application complete since mid-July.
 
is penn still sending out interviews? :((

Yes, I called them today and they said my application just went under review. So they said I can expect a response in 1-2 weeks or longer. I applied at the end of July.

What did you ask specifically when you called them? Are they okay with people calling to ask about status of application?

I called and asked if they're still giving out pre-December interviews. Then I asked about the status of my application. They were nice when I called.

Does your app on AADSAS say Applicant Complete or Under Review?
 
How are Penns exams set up? Are they all individual or do they take block exams?
 
Just out of curiosity, if you interview at the end of November would there a chance to hear back on December 15th or would it be more likely to hear back later? :)

I think there would still be a chance to hear back December 15!
 
My application is also listed as app complete rather than under review on AADSAS. Submitted in early July, app complete in early August. Is it worth calling them to ask about the status of my app?

11/4 edit: my status just changed to "under review"

They don’t update AADSAS so no

Have you heard anything from them yet?
 
Is there any yield data available? I would imagine that not all of the first round interviewees accept
D1 here - Our class size is ~135, so they will ultimately accept more than that since people will turn them down! 4/8 people from my interview day last year are in my class, so they could have even accepted more from just that one day!

Wow Upenn is sending rejections rn? I guess I just assumed we wouldn't hear anything until December 15 & beyond.
 
I think more interviews will be sent out in January after they hear back from the students they accept
