akaplan Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 I am wondering if I have a problem... I applied to Upenn December 20th and have not received any information about setting up a interview. Does this mean they are not interested in my attendance?
Gvh Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Usually they would inform you in case of a rejection. I would email or call admissions, in my experience they are really nice and helpful. Good luck!
mswprosp Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) I'm in the same boat as you. I applied mid-December and called about a month later to confirm that they received all of my materials; they said my application was complete. I still haven't heard anything and am also worrying. I am wondering if I have a problem... I applied to Upenn December 20th and have not received any information about setting up a interview. Does this mean they are not interested in my attendance?

arjayz Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Question about UPenn: I had my transcript sent to the address listed on SP2's website and it was returned to my college because it's not a "real address." When I called Admissions they said the only address to send it to is the one listed. I double and triple checked the address I wrote on the transcript request form, and it's the correct one. Just checking to see what address other UPenn applicants sent their transcript too, because obviously those were received just fine. Thanks in advance!
Rivka Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I definitely submitted everything to 3701 Locust Walk Philadelphia, PA 19104. What a pain in the neck I hope it works out for you!

Does this mean they are not interested in my attendance? Hey, I also submitted my app on Dec. 20th. I called Jan. 5th to confirm that my app was complete and received an interview invitation that same day. I interviewed Jan. 10th and am still waiting on a response. Do call them!!! I hope it works out. -Kristi
arjayz Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I definitely submitted everything to 3701 Locust Walk Philadelphia, PA 19104. What a pain in the neck I hope it works out for you! That's where I sent it also! I'm thinking of driving to Philly to drop it off myself (it's not such a far drive from New York), but it probably won't get there before Feb. 1st. Do you think that will hurt my chances of getting in?
akaplan Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 how do they make the interview appointment? do they call you or is it email?
akaplan Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 just got the email! I am so worried about this interview. does anyone know the types of questions they ask?
kristi28 Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 just got the email! I am so worried about this interview. does anyone know the types of questions they ask? They ask standard questions like: Why do you want to go into social work? Why do you want to attend UPenn? What is your greatest challenge? Etc. They also ask you to expound on your resume and experience. It's pretty informal so don't sweat it! Good luck!!! :-)
arjayz Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) My transcript was received and I have an interview next week! How long is the typical wait between the interview and decision? Edited January 25, 2012 by arjayz
Gvh Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Which Penn school did you apply to? I can't speak for anything other than the GSE, but I received my decision 10 days after my phone interview.
kristi28 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 My transcript was received and I have an interview next week! How long is the typical wait between the interview and decision? I got my decision 14 days after my interview. Some people hear back sooner, but they will tell you to give them 2-3 weeks.
rhianita Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I am a current student in the Higher Education Program and have my assistantship at Admissions. -----if you need anything let me know

mswprosp Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 My transcript was received and I have an interview next week! How long is the typical wait between the interview and decision? I was accepted four hours after my interview...
akaplan Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 I have my interview tomorrow! So nervous!
mswprosp Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I have my interview tomorrow! So nervous! Good luck! You'll be great, it's probably the most comfortable interview I've sat in before. So just take a deep breath!
