dulcinea Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Just was curious why no one was talking/wondering about Penn. They had an earlier deadline than many of the schools that have already issued acceptances. Isn't anyone curious, or am I missing something?
Glossed Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I'm curious, but not incredibly hopeful of actually getting in
jprufrock Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 The results board of previous years shows that UPenn usually notifies the last week of February or the first week of March. Believe me, many are anxiously waiting to hear! This week might be the start of notifications.
abookbumble Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Has anyone even had an official transcript requested from Penn yet? That's what's making me nervous...
the once and future grad Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Has anyone even had an official transcript requested from Penn yet? That's what's making me nervous... Huh, I never thought of that. I think they said that, if you're admitted, they need the official transcript before you enroll. I don't know if that means they need it in order to make an offer. I remember last year, a message went up on the English department's website saying "we notified all admitted and waitlisted students on February 2* [i think it was the 26th]. If you haven't heard from us, you have not been accepted" but I didn't get the official rejection email until a couple of weeks later. I've started keeping an eye on their website.
Lemonade Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Phone acceptance. Anyone want to claim it?
ElectedSilence Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 That was me. Phone call from the DGS.
Lemonade Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 That was me. Phone call from the DGS. Thanks for the quick reply and congratulations! Do you happen to have any info on how many acceptances, if they're notifying everyone today, etc.?
ElectedSilence Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Sorry, no details...I couldn't pick up and so just had a message. Will see what I can find out.
ElectedSilence Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Sorry, no details...I couldn't pick up and so just had a message. Will see what I can find out. typo earlier....13/550 this year
Lemonade Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 typo earlier....13/550 this year Mwah mwah mwaaaaah (that is the sound of me losing all hope). Oh well; thanks for the info.
dulcinea Posted February 23, 2011 Author Posted February 23, 2011 typo earlier....13/550 this year Hey, Congrats! Mind telling us your field?
ZeeMore21 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Is it safe to assume more calls will be made tomorrow? I know that not everyone records their schools on the grad cafe results page but there is only one Penn admit so far.Crossing my fingers!
jprufrock Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 I see 3 admits and am losing hope. I checked previous years and it looks like the past 3 years have all been by phone all on the same day. One year was by e-mail, again all on the same day. Waitlisters were also notified on the same day as admits. I really liked UPenn--thought it to be the best match for my interests, actually.

You never know jprufrock, maybe Penn will break their tradition! I certainly hope so.
ZeeMore21 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 I'm still only seeing one admit by the way? Are you sure 3 jpruf?
jprufrock Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) I'm still only seeing one admit by the way? Are you sure 3 jpruf? Yes I hope they break their tradition, too. Just search for "English" as opposed to "UPenn English" or "University of Pennsylvania English" I see three from this year. Edit: Search for "English" over Today Only, for best success.

Umsturz Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Yes I hope they break their tradition, too. Just search for "English" as opposed to "UPenn English" or "University of Pennsylvania English" I see three from this year. Edit: Search for "English" over Today Only, for best success. Two don't show up when you search for "Pennsylvania" because they contain typos in the spelling (Pennslyvania).
ZeeMore21 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Ah, I see. Well, that leaves about 12 spots right? I would hope that more than just 3 admittees would post their results. Still optimistic!
Baudelaire Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 FML: A def rejection, an implicit one, the never-ending UVa, and now this shit show. Thanks stellar record at Ivy-quality M.A. program: you really did the trick. Well, back to teaching high school... harpyemma, sausundbraus, Deletethis2020 and 1 other 2 2
lenz Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Looks like all's over at Penn, too. jprufrock, do you mind if I ask which school you're leaning towards? (I am waitlisted at NYU)
prangar2 Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Looks like all's over at Penn, too. @lenz: Hello! Have you heard from them or seen something on their website? I've been looking around and checking my online account but nothing is showing up that I can find. Thanks!

I've been looking around and checking my online account but nothing is showing up that I can find. Thanks! Hey prangar 2. No, my prediction is based only on the results board and the fact that acceptances were communicated several days ago. Just a guess!
