  1. Dittoooooo. Naturally I'm heading to seminar in 10 minutes... I'm sure I'll have no problem staying focused.
  2. Congrats — at least now you have another option.
  3. Does anyone know how large the typical applicant pool is for Penn? I saw some numbers being thrown around about Harvard and Yale a few posts up and wondered how Penn might compare. I can't imagine there are as many applicants to Penn as there are to those two, given the ranking discrepancy, but who knows. Just trying to occupy my time with some pointless speculation here.
  4. According to their homepage, Penn is opening today at 10:00 AM EST.
  5. It might help me, insofar as it gives me something to do that doesn't involve clicking the refresh button in my browser. And I'm already on board the Philly love train — born and raised in PA, though I haven't lived there for about seven years now. Wouldn't hate going back! Edit: I'm assuming you live/have lived there? Also, re: your 43 page long writing sample — that actually makes me feel good about my 16 page one, because according to their admissions page (which I didn't notice until after I submitted the app), they requested that writing samples be "up to 10 pages." Seems neither of us knows how to follow directions.
  6. I need to hear from Penn today; I can't take it anymore. Seriously considering trying to boost my odds by making a sacrifice to the ghost of Ben Franklin. Anyone know any French prostitutes?
  7. Agreed! Like me, Cazorla, your hopes hang entirely on UPenn at this point, correct? What subfield are you? Even if we're vying for the same spot, we might as well be allies in anticipation. You can PM me if you want and we can talk some more.
  8. Thanks for the support. Unfortunately, I just received the rejection from Brown as well. Penn remains, but hope does not. Best of luck to you in Providence!
  9. Thank you for the reply. Hopefully tomorrow will bring some good news, then. Edit: I forgot to add — congratulations on your acceptance.
  10. I've been lurking here for weeks. It's been great to observe the thoughtful and caring discussion taking place. When I finally decided to take the plunge and make an account, I discovered that I already had one. Whoops. My question is about the Brown admit that was just posted. Does it seem legit? I cannot imagine why anyone would lie about such a thing, but since Brown uses the same application system that Stanford, Princeton, and others use — and the application statuses for those schools STILL haven't been changed yet (at least for rejects like me) — I find it a bit surprising that Brown would notify in this way. Any other Brown applicants out there care to share their thoughts? I've gone 0/7 thus far this cycle, with only Brown and Penn left to hear from. This process has been so disheartening.
