bae_dal Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 So, I am expecting to get my official rejection, or, perchance to dream, a place on the wait-list from UPenn by Friday. The department website is announcing that the decisions will be made by that day. As I did not get a call from the DGS, I am not hopeful. I don't know if I want to leave the Purgatorio of unknowing and move into the Inferno.
toskii Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I'm in purgatory too, though I have several friends who have been admitted (all heard on Saturday). I hate to say it but I think no news is bad news...
feminist Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Does anyone know where on Penn's ApplyYourself website one can find the notification of acceptance? Clearly, its possible that its not up yet, and probably won't be till the deadline on Friday - but just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something! I've seen some schools that have a section called "Decision," but see nothing like this for Penn. Maybe they just update your front page?
bae_dal Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 The information for UPenn is to be found on the department website, as of yet, there are no "view your decision" options on the ApplyYourself website.
Comfect Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 It's very strange that Penn, which has a large notification on their department website that letters will be available online at ApplyYourself "by" Friday, 2/20, has not yet posted these letters (at least not mine...I expect it's a rejection, but I want to know!)
Liz Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 If you haven't heard yet, then, well... "Update 02/20/2009: Admissions for Fall 2009 is closed. PhD decisions should be available online shortly. The Graduate Chair has already contacted those students accepted into the PhD program this week. Letters for all students will also be sent the prospective student's primary address. MA decisions will be made by mid March." Oh well.
Comfect Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Oh well indeed. Good to know that much, however. Nice of them to take the waiting part out of it EDIT: Annnnd they're up. Rejected, surprise surprise, but again, at least no longer waiting.
wheel_of_fire Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Does anyone know if the rejected PhD applications automatically get forwarded to the terminal MA program?
the_lisbon_girl Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I am so glad that they announced the rejections via the main website before my ApplyWeb rejection went up. This is the same exact form letter they used 2 years ago (I'm still in the system with a rejection from '07). Oh well.
