@2017 Applicant SO FREAKY!!! haha

Something I've been trying to do every day recently has been to really limit my time on here. I start the day with a little meditation, do a check of this form and blog, and then I'm OFF it until after the work day. As best as you can, it's helpful to stay present minded to whatever you have going on (i.e. work, friends, etc.) I joined a trivia team, go for runs, read awesome books, and try to just keep myself occupied and grateful by doing things I love to do. I don't mean to sound preachy or dismiss your frustration (the reality is, this process bites for all parties involved haha), but I hope maybe this helps a little? Nice use if perturbed

Alas, the rejections for Penn flooded out yesterday (me being one of them). 1a/2r/0wl 1 to go Congratulations to anyone who got in! Now, I wait for Temple just like eagerlyimpatient is. If anyone hears updates on Temple, please post here!

Haha, right?! I'm not banking on any delusion, but it DOES seem odd to me that when I reached out, they didn't just reject me automatically. Maybe a WL? Hmmmm who knows...

I contacted the English department

Ah, good to know. Yeah it's been intriguing since a few WLs and Acceptances have been posted, but if the program didn't reject me outright when I emailed them about the timeline, I'm assuming I may have a small chance? Eh who knows. I'll end up wherever I'm meant to haha. Congratulations, again!

Haha that's awesome; congrats again! I didn't apply to Yale, but there's been some confusion about Penn thus far, so I figured I'd ask haha. Hope you get to celebrate!

I actually laughed out loud in my cubicle reading this! Thank you for posting haha!

Congratulations! How exciting! I'm curious, did they email you? Call?

Joining this a little late, but I actually reached out to Penn just to inquire about the general timeline. I expected them to tell me that I was rejected immediately, but, instead, they said the department was reviewing decisions currently and we should all know by March 1. So, maybe there is still hope?Also asking cautiously yet optimistically Either way, good luck to everyone on here!
