I submitted a pre-interview letter and it says the type of letter submitted, and then the date it was submitted (but there's nothing that says date received by admissions office). Does it let you click on and view the additional document? I'd think if you can view it, they probably can too. if not, could be worth emailing?
Yes! I can - I was kind of confusing but I was talking about under "status" and then "document status" I see my letter packet and a date and then "AD" with no date. I think you're right that if I can see it they can. But I think they're done here so it's not really important anyway! 😭
Good luck with your cycle!!Ohhh I see. I just checked under document status and it doesn't even list my update letter there lol (no AD, just letter packet). Oh well. Good luck with your cycle too!!Yes! I can - I was kind of confusing but I was talking about under "status" and then "document status" I see my letter packet and a date and then "AD" with no date. I think you're right that if I can see it they can. But I think they're done here so it's not really important anyway! 😭
I think they always say by March 15th since per AMCAS rules you need to have given at least the number of acceptances to fill a class but usually it comes out that first day to two In March
+1 while I’m at my job at Penn, my alma mater. Hurts.Well
Same and same! This letter was sweet.
+1 Nicest rejection yet.
Add me to the list of Rs.
pre-mcat i think?
Do you know if this applies to merit scholarships?
Everything! I was specifically asking about merit. I know they give full tuition for anyone accepted to Harvard Stanford and NYU (since NYU gives full tuition). They also match Aid for all peer institutions, which I assume includes at least the entirety of T10s (friend got a match from WashU, which is at the bottom edge of T10, so I'm just assuming it's the same for the rest). For schools in the T20 range I'm unsure.
I personally know someone who is now MS4 who had their aid matched by Penn after being offered full tuition by UCLA
yea, I didn't really delve into the specifics of that. They award 30, but obv not everyone they give it to goes to penn. If you tell them "I'd love to go here, but I got into these 3" and you have no scholarship offer, you're at the top of the list to receive an offer once someone else chooses elsewhere. From my contacts in Penn, it has worked out such that everyone at penn that was cross admit that didn't initially receive a scholarship but was cross admit received full tuition soon after disclosing. Of course, it could just be that only those who got the offer chose to go, so they're not aware of those who didn't but my friends on student adcom seem to think it's not that. If you don't believe it, that's completely fine, but if you're cross admit hit up the financial aid committee and let us know how it goes!
Perhaps this could answer that question. Is the person you mentioned a Twenty-First Century Scholar after requesting an aid match? Thank You so much for that detail!
I see no negative on providing this information, if what allseasons saying is false then the acceptee losses nothing, but by he/she giving this information a potential acceptee may get more money and potentially choose Penn over another school.
I asked my student interviewer about AOA and they said Penn does it after match day now
wait... what is even the point of that.
Just recondition for some people I guess. I kind of like it—takes pressure off to achieve AOA for apps but let's some people have the feather in their cap still
Yes, my guess is Wednesday 3/2 based on past years:
probably not at penn, at a lot of schools yes
I would say it would be best to wait and see if you get an A/WL at this point, so can save letter if you end up getting waitlisted. I was also thinking about sending a letter of interest now, but they've probably made their decisions at this point so best to wait
They said that at my interview day back in sept. Pretty sure they say that every year since AAMC requires them to send out # of acceptances to fill class by that date but usually it is released earlier in the first few days of March
Yea, but I think it's probably a clerical error. Or maybe on their side they uploaded the interview notes or something.
Mine says “PK”
I have AD there as well
