WildeThing Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I don't know if anyone else is waiting on UCLA, but I just called and they expect decisions to be sent out shortly (as vague as that might be). They said decisions are made on a rolling basis but that a majority would be sent out in the first round, through the portal. They expected to have them sent by now but the complications with the system pushed them back. So, ultimately, no real news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nichts Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Congratulations, @YTC and @DatGuy, I'm so happy for you! This may sound stupid or sappy, but I'm glad to see offers go to people rather than statistics. I appreciate the support on this thread. superfluouswoman, immanentfields and youngim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I received an email from Emily Wilson. Very informal thing, really. I believe they're still waiting on the dean to approve admissions and supply the letters before the formal offers roll out! 9 hours ago, Jožin z bažin said: Congratulations, @YTC and @DatGuy, I'm so happy for you!

For what it's worth, I applied to Penn twice before— once for undergrad and once before my Masters. So it's been a long time coming, I suppose!

immanentfields Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Woke up to a brief note from Penn saying that they "have not heard from the Graduate Dean regarding funding" but they're still interested in my app, so it sounds like there's an informal funding waitlist going on right now. Anyone else here get a similar message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you have a good chance though! If the person who posted the rejection dated Feb 27 is on here, would you mind clarifying whether you were interviewed and how you were notified?

This is true, good sir, though I'm not visiting Penn during their visit weekend, but earlier. Let me know if you want to be in non-anonymous forum touch anyway.
