what does admission brochure mean? does it mean they offered you admissison?
Haha got this too. No idea why they're giving info after already applying + no interview
Just received one today as well. Really confused as to the purpose of this information w/o an interview invite lol
they send it to everyone who applied, people who have already received interview invites received the brochure as well

Understand that receiving a brochure in the mail isn't just a wasted printout of what you could easily find online. In this process, you really need to read between the lines and use what you can to your advantage: Before interview, during interview, and after. Many schools send nothing throughout the process and if you're one of the unfortunate ones, then the only form of correspondence you may receive is a snail mail rejection letter. Stop questioning or complaining and just be glad that Penn takes the initiative to establish correspondence with you. How receptive you are to that and if/how you act on it could make every difference. That isn't to say that anything needs to be done on your end in response to something as miniscule as the school brochure. Appreciate, though, that correspondence (in any form) is a potential gift--a bridge that provides communication and the chance for you to reciprocate with the ultimate goal of building some form of relationship. I'm pretty sure that's Penn's philosophy behind sending you guys that. They don't like leaving applicants in the dark (silence) and would rather do something for everyone than just the "select few." Corky's very adamant about her mission to give thorough and fair attention to every application she reads (and she does read every single one). Whether it's the first one submitted in June or the last one that barely made the deadline.
Okay, that's my two cents lol. Good luck to every single one of you!! And for those of you who haven't heard back yet, don't worry! I didn't get an interview invite until January...granted my app was complete about a year ago
I understand that, but when people who never even submitted the supplemental application get brochures, you begin to question the importance of receiving this brochure.D1 Penntist here

when was your app complete?In case anyone is interested, they’re filling up spots for the first two weeks of January
June/July
I completed my app early September as well and still waiting for my app to go under review. Let's hope we get that interview soon!is there anyone who got an app complete email in early-mid September and also received an interview? i know my app is submission is near the tail end of things, just wanted to know if i'm out of the running at this point
That's weird. I got an email saying I got an invite before I received anything in the mail. Check your junk.
If I remember correctly you won't get a confirmation until after you send them the lunch order form you get in snail mail... that's like your OFFICIAL rsvp
Congrats on the invite!!
Give it til mid-morning Thursday. If you still haven't gotten an email by then you could shoot admissions a friendly quick call for it. Did your status change in AADSAS?
Just checked. My status did not change in the portal yet either
If you got an email with an interview and you scheduled it, you are fine. Stop worrying haha.Just checked. My status did not change in the portal yet either
I didn't park, but it was very friendly. Just a great bunch of people.
Congratulations! If you don't mind, what were the remaining/available interview dates?
They will be sending out more interviews to fill there class after Jan 1st once all their dec 1 people give their deposits
Congrats!! Where are you from and what are you stats?
Thank you.
Time zone?I just got my acceptance call at UPENN!!!
Pacific Time Zone so I got the call around 10:00am (20min ago)
I just checked my AADSAS portal and the status are the same ("Under Review"). I don't think UPENN really uses their AADSAS portal. Best of luck to you though! Hope you get the acceptance as well!
Good luck potential Penntists!! I can't wait to see the page explode with happiness in just a matter of hours
