There hasn't been much love to this post in a while. Can anyone speak to whether the public transportation has improved in the last few years or is it still subpar?

If anything we might just doing a version of the online program. I would be surprised if schools remained closed by then, but who am I?

I got rejected by UPenn yesterday. On the positive side, I got accepted to my top two schools. I think it also shows how much effort I put into them. I spent weeks writing my personal statements and essays for my top two schools. My other schools I did a lot of copying and pasting. I guess it shows.

Don't assume the worst. Maybe they want you so bad but are trying to see if they can find money from different sources to give you a larger offer. 
Let me know! I interviewed on Monday.

ham, maybe I was confused with CWRU. I knew you were accepted to one of the schools I applied to.

Congrats! They are one of my top two schools! I haven't made my decision at this time but who knows, I may end up seeing you there.

I'm trying to let them know that it is not financially feasible for my family to take out $70,000 in loans, as they are suggesting.

UPenn was a little weird to be honest. I went in January, days before their semester started back up. Faculty and students were in and out of the buildings but because I was not a student I was not allowed access inside most buildings. I am not sure if it is different during the regular semester but I didn't have a badge. Maybe there's a guest badge? Just FYI. I saw the outside of most buildings and I was able to get a feel for the campus, but I only got to see inside one building. The security guard let me in to see a few classes. 

They don't really seem to offer a tour. I spoke with Mary Mazzola to try to arrange a tour. She told me that I could come there and meet her but they don't do tours. I did go there and do a bit of a self guided tour.

Let us know when you hear! I hear it can take some people a few hours to a few days for a response.

I never thought that I would be able to ask for a reconsideration more than once. This is very hopeful!! I was waiting to ask for reconsideration until I had more offers. Now I don't think I will do that.

sounds like money is the big concern for you so go where it's cheapest.

I'm sorry, I thought I made clear that I haven't heard back from them either. You are not alone.

exactly what @Ceridwen24 said. 

I've been accepted to Case Western and WashU in St. Louis. Both schools offered me a scholarship for about $17,000/yr. WashU said they will be sending me a need based award as well sometime this month. Case Western is probably out probably out of my price range since I won't be receiving any more money from them but hopefully WashU will get more affordable. Still waiting to hear from four other schools.
