So I recently got an interview at Penn...wondering if anyone else happens to be the same day? I have Nov. 6th which is pretty legit since it's a pre-Dec 1st but considering I'm flying in Wednesday the 5th at like 10pm from Seattle (which isn't cheap in itself 🙁 ), hotels are not exactly cheap. Both the hotels on/near the UPenn campus are booked so I'm about to resort to alternatives. From what I have read, UPenn gives interviews to groups of 10-15 students so if anyone on here happens to have the same date, please let me know. Thanks.

I still haven't received any information from Penn about an interview or a rejection. Wonder what's taking them so long. Oh well, I guess that I'll just have to wait it out.
I'm staying at a Holiday Inn that's slightly SE from campus (≈ 5 miles), and it was pretty inexpensive. I don't know the exact price, but I did a travel package from www.priceline.com and got round-trip airline tix (from Miami) and 2 nights @ the Holiday Inn (Philadelphia Stadium) for a total of $300 flat. Compared to the other places I'm flying to, that's pretty cheap. I had the same issue of all the nearby hotels being booked (October 31st Interview Date). It sucks, but I'll just take a cab or use public transportation. Hope this helps.
If you are looking for somewhere cheap to stay you might want to consider Cherry Hill, NJ. Last time I needed to be somewhere early in Philly I got a place there for about 50/night and it only took 20-25 mins to get to where I needed to be.
