w2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 i noticed there is at least one other waitlist notification for UPenn. To those admitted/waitlisted, do you know how many people they waitlisted and how they are picking from the waitlist (I know it is "unranked").

Enide Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 i noticed there is at least one other waitlist notification for UPenn. To those admitted/waitlisted, do you know how many people they waitlisted and how they are picking from the waitlist (I know it is "unranked"). Hi w2010, I was also wait listed at Penn. I'm not sure how many people are on the list, but I also heard that it was unranked. Did you talk to David Kazanjian, the graduate chair? I called him to ask that same question and he was super nice. I'm sure if you called him, or even emailed, he could also give you an idea of your chances of getting off the wait list. Do you think you'll still go and visit Penn?

Hey Enide-- I am pretty sure that there is one alternate in each area--I do want to visit, but I don't want to get my hopes up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enide Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) Hey Enide-- I am pretty sure that there is one alternate in each area--I do want to visit, but I don't want to get my hopes up! Well even if you don't ultimately get in, you've got quite the list to choose from! congrats! I'm thinking of visiting just because their offer list was so small and the chances are good that someone will get in off the wait list. I'll be on the east coast next week anyway, and I live far away, in San Francisco. Let me know if you decide to go though -- if we overlap, we could be teeth grinding wait-listers together lol ps -- a really good friend of mine goes to UMass. He just started this past fall. If you visit there, or just want to talk to him, I can send you his contact info. Sweetest guy ever. He studies African American lit -- modern stuff, I think, and he focuses on gender.
