Well since today has already started, and Monday we'll (hopefully) hear very early in the day, it's really only 3 days to wait till the moment of truth! (or the moment of continuing ambiguity in the case of waitlist...)
I think you can be whelmed in Europe.

Ok so here's a question. I'm trying to be good and fill out all my financial aid documents, and in following with yomama's spitting fate in the face, I wanted to fill out my information for UPenn, too. How do I do that? There seems to be NO financial aid information on their website and I've heard the term NeedAccess being thrown around but do we need to fill it out? Where does it say that?
Does anyone know where I can find a nice, clear guide of what UPenn financial aid wants from its applicants?
Thanks!

They changed the "financial aid" tab in the status page, and although it is still "under construction," it lists the things you need to submit. Penn does require the NeedAccess form in addition to the FAFSA for need-based finaid. I actually just finished filling out the NeedAccess app last week for a different school -- it's a LONG application (they require "estimates" for the upcoming year and make you retype info from the FAFSA-- not fun). Go to http://www.NeedAccess.org, and once you set up an account, you just select the names of the schools you want the info to go to. According to the status page, Penn also requires copies of 2006 federal tax returns/W2s for students and parents.
I'm not quite as brave as you -- I didn't list Penn on the Need Access form yet....next week, please get here soon!!!!
thanks guys!
wow, i've been staying away from that status page like the plague (a watched pot never boils), so i had no idea that page even HAD a financial aid tab.
thanks for the help!
OMG, I just checked the status page.
DECISIONS ARE still not to be found.
No one is going to believe you when you finally post that decisions actually are up.
I have to do this at least once a day.
Today I was walking around pretending what it would feel like to have an acceptance. Sigh. Waitlist here we come baby! woo HOO! (I wish there weren't so many damn Indians applying.. they are fu<king my chances up!)

It's not going to come to that, because at this rate we'll all murder him first.
Could someone post the URL for the status page?
Now that I'm waitlisted at Cornell, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, and waitlisted/rejected from Yale (probably), I am thinking that my chances for an acceptance at Penn are not looking very good for next week. This process sucks. When do waitlists begin to move, and is it all once?

i just had that waitlist feeling sweep through my bones. Sweet. Just a few more days hopefully.
HAHA. I'm so drunk right now (dracunkuliasis a pre-med might say). so I will take that dare!!! god, I know, this is possibly the worst mojo ever and you don't even know how much I love penn...BBBut I will matchthat dare. check it out honey, allo thread
see you there sara
I mena, even if I don't get in, at least I will have started the thread. that counts for somehtinfg.
maybe i'm the only one w/ this problem, but i've been telling ppl that penn is my dream school for so long that i'm really afraid of checking on monday not only b/c i'm in love but also b/c i don't want to look like a big loser if i have to tell all those ppl that i just got rejected
Does anybody know which day this week decisions are coming out? Are they coming out on the status page? Thanks!
I want to post on the Penn Allo thread but I don't want to jinx myself. How stupid is that? So who's going to wait until midnight on Sunday to check the status page? I know I am.
i hadn't even thought of that.
christ, man. at least it's only 10pm my time.
You know it's bad when you can't wait for the weekend to end!
Less than 2 days till Monday morning!
I HIGHLY doubt decisions will come out on Monday. If decisions had already been made, why not make them available right now? Do you really think they will be making decisions on a Sunday night???
of course they won't make it available sunday night. no one is in the office working at that time. but, it doesnt mean we won't check
My guess is the middle of the week.
Well, last year the decision came out on a Wednesday, and if I remember correctly from last year's thread, for the year or two before that it came out on Tuesdays...but Penn, feel free to be early this year. (That said, off to refresh the Penn status page a few times...)
You know, I must say that of all the obsessing-over-XXX SOM-decisions threads I have been on, this one has been the most fun. Here's to all of us getting in to Penn, and having a kick-ass class of 2011.
Less than 5 days to go....
I can feel the waitlist... and I will be sure to blame it on the overly-ambitious Indian premeds that steal my seat! those bastards!
Sheez, I may be overly presumptous by thinking waitlist...
