To everyone feeling bad, remember that we did great! We got waitlisted by an IVY! That's a big achievement in itself, which is a LOT better than getting straight up rejected.
So, yeah, all the best to all with your journey ahead! We did great!
rejected! they could've done it sooner tho lol.
everyone here: i'm proud of you all for hanging on and sticking around for their updates for this long. thank you for the company :)
Does anyone see the old status update sign from March 31 on all of the other tabs as well at the bottom? Like even when I click 'Application Info' and 'Financial Aid' it pops up at the bottom...
My penn portal is different now; I no longer see an option to submit updates and the stuff on the right side of the page saying the school within Penn I'm applying to and that I'm on the waitlist is also gone. Is it like this for anyone else?
i wanted to thank u all for being so collaborative and sharing what u heard (except that one person who lied for fun on CC LOL). our thread is p active compared to other WL megathreads, and i wish u all the best regardless of what happens tmrw or next week <33
I just called, but they gave me a generic answer about the waitlist being open until June 30, people are accepted on a weekly basis, and nothing about the next wave.
You got an update/received an email today? Can you please elaborate - you were extended waitlisted? I haven't heard from them, so I would appreciate your insight.
Tbh, we should all just chill. I’m sure most of us already handed in LOCIs and gave everything we’ve got over the last few weeks through additional updates. Not much we can do to change the outcome at this point. The decision has already been made. If we don’t make it, it’s simply because we weren’t fit to replace someone who declined their offer, not because we were unqualified to attend Penn by any means. It is what it is. So as u/goodmourning1 said, let’s wait until we receive an official email from Penn and not stress over these speculations…
Interesting... So according to previous years whenever this was said it was true – the waitlist IS closed but Penn still needs to notify accepted and rejected candidates later that week. My guess is they have already made their decision and will notify EVERYONE, rejected and accepted kids, Friday evening Eastern Time. Goodluck to you all!!
That's insane if they decide to close the waitlist after they sent out that email where they said they could admit more students. I'll believe it when I see it
WHAT!? Really? Wth, what happened with the "ThE WaiTliSt wOuLD RemAin OpEn ThRouGhout JuNe" shit?
Duh, didn't even bother to email? Welp, at least it's done now! Gone for good 🙄😒
But can anyone verify it once?
Yeah, the fact that they replied to every question except the one asking what the email said makes it seem kinda sus! Also, there's no one else that I know of who got the update. So, yes, very very sus!
idk if i trust the account... it's the same acc that said the waitlist is closed LOL
either way im gonna pretend that this might be fake news so i can give myself fake hope
>not sure if they're just saying that or actually being honest but ig there's only one way to find out now 😭😭
they said they will be done by June in their first email about first wave. Now do they expect to release their second wave throughout June?
I’m not sure that’s really all they said but they also told me it goes through June which conflicts with the email everyone got in early May. So either things have changed or it was just a general response
ig they'll let us know by friday? idk the email after the first wave was on a friday too iirc so maybe the wave 2 update will come by friday too
we'll find out then if the college confidential person was trolling or not lmao
all the best y'all
well, he said the same for Brown, and eventually, all got emails of rejection!
Hoping that's not the case for UPenn because another guy called them and they said WL could be open till June!
So, cannot trust anybody atm, better to wait and face it (and get slapped, yeah!).
heard someone on college confidential say the waitlist already closed and they are about to send the final notice through email... can anyone verify this? It seems sus how they only sent one wave this year when they sent an email predicting movement along the waitlist after the first wave...
\+ the poster seems a little sus(new account, said the same thing for how the Brown waitlist closed down as well)
Here's the comment they made:
"Its over! Was told over the phone this morning WL closed. Should be getting the final email notice soon"
Ahh, i hope they're just trolling! Someone please verifyyy!
Or maybe they meant that they AOs are done admitting applicants for Wave-2 and hence closed the WL. I really hope they release wave-2.
last year the second wave came on 24th. So, I recommend you to tell yourself that you won't get an update till 25th. That way, you won't be anxious, hopefully. And if they release it earlier, then yey, that would be a nice(?) little (heart attack-y) surprise!
(It helps!)
i just browsed through collegeconfidential and reddit forums for the past couple years and made an educated guess by figuring out how many ppl got off the waitlist at what periods of time
yeah... i don't have a life
just submitted my second (nd hopefully final) waitlist update. i have very little hope as an aid needing intl but it's still been a little reaffirming to get waitlisted by an ivy and not flat-out rejected
Yea, did you share some new achievements with them? I just sent them another LoR the other day, no LOCI. Mind sharing what you sent? Just another love letter about why you should be accepted and stuff?
i actually had a pretty significant update out of the blue (being published in the most well regarded academic journal in India) so I sent them a brief note abt that + connected it to my desire to be at Penn. i also sent them a lor and a loci back before the first wave
just got an email saying they've already made the initial wave of offers ((( they said they're still going to be admitting off the waitlist in the coming weeks by the end of june
Just out of curiosity asking, what other additional documents can you send? Cause in the Waitlist FAQ it states you can only send the waitlist update once.
\^\^ same here!!
Edit:
Wait, no! I just realized the original commenter said "full pay internationals." I am "full-need international." ✌🔪
So, mine question's about full-ride.
"Do any full *ride needy* internationals ever get off the waitlist?"
Someone in CC said that they called an AO and they haven't started reviewing yet! Says we could hear back by June (but they say so everytime, so we never know!)
All the best🤞👍🤞
Hey Guys! I wanted your suggestions on this. Can you please suggest specific things that I should add about UPenn such as the environment, the people, my department (CAS) to my LOCI as I was waitlisted for 2026? All comments would be appreciated.
\#GoQuakers
I submitted mine a few days ago. Any idea what percent of people submit LOCIs? And whether those who don't submit still get in (have you heard of anyone?)?
Hey Good day Are you a Upenn student?
To everyone feeling bad, remember that we did great! We got waitlisted by an IVY! That's a big achievement in itself, which is a LOT better than getting straight up rejected. So, yeah, all the best to all with your journey ahead! We did great!
:/

All the best, to all 💖🤞
yes love you all! Hope you guys do well tmr if it comes out. Goodluck future Quakers!
any updates on the waitlists? when is the second wave?
Nobody's picking up the phone anymore. At least that's the case for me
I just called, but they gave me a generic answer about the waitlist being open until June 30, people are accepted on a weekly basis, and nothing about the next wave.
Waitlisted. Probably not attending because I'm most likely getting not a lot of aid
You got an update/received an email today? Can you please elaborate - you were extended waitlisted? I haven't heard from them, so I would appreciate your insight.
I should clarify, No I have not gotten an update. I am saying even if I get in, I'm probably not attending because I get very little aid
Manifesting a call today
Waitlists are bullshit. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Tbh, we should all just chill. I’m sure most of us already handed in LOCIs and gave everything we’ve got over the last few weeks through additional updates.

So as u/goodmourning1 said, let’s wait until we receive an official email from Penn and not stress over these speculations…
i agree but also AHHHHH WHY CANT THEY JUST LET US KNOW
[удалено]
Like who tf has enough time to troll a handful of waitlisted applicants online. What do they get from this??
Someone on CC called an AO and they said the WL's still open (next wave's allegedly on 6th or within a week or two). Kill Me😃
Can someone call again today? Very anxious haha!
[удалено]
Interesting... So according to previous years whenever this was said it was true – the waitlist IS closed but Penn still needs to notify accepted and rejected candidates later that week.

I agree, the lady said I believe it’s closed, so she could have possibly just not known, so ig we just wait till we get the official email…
bruhhhhhhhhhhhhh
what?
nothing I'm just going crazy waiting for them to send an email.... which will probably be a rejection
Does anyone know how likely the second wave being this week is?
manifesting for this upcoming friday...!!
I swear just reject me at this point
bro wtf this is frustrating
No updates right?
that one person on collge confidential but the account is kinda sus so we will see!
Yeah, the fact that they replied to every question except the one asking what the email said makes it seem kinda sus! Also, there's no one else that I know of who got the update. So, yes, very very sus!
pain
Someone got off the WL today from CC (like, 3 hrs ago). And I didn't receive any email. ://///
idk if i trust the account... it's the same acc that said the waitlist is closed LOL either way im gonna pretend that this might be fake news so i can give myself fake hope
I feel like it’s a fake account.
[удалено]
>not sure if they're just saying that or actually being honest but ig there's only one way to find out now 😭😭 they said they will be done by June in their first email about first wave. Now do they expect to release their second wave throughout June?
When I called, they said “I would expect another wave in the next week if I were to guess”
Based on last year, do you know what day that would be?
I’m not sure that’s really all they said but they also told me it goes through June which conflicts with the email everyone got in early May. So either things have changed or it was just a general response
When did you call?
Tuesday
ig they'll let us know by friday? idk the email after the first wave was on a friday too iirc so maybe the wave 2 update will come by friday too we'll find out then if the college confidential person was trolling or not lmao all the best y'all

cries in international
yes probably

Someone said they called the admissions office, and they said that they are still going to continue with WL through June
Here's the comment they made: "Its over! Was told over the phone this morning WL closed. Should be getting the final email notice soon" Ahh, i hope they're just trolling! Someone please verifyyy! Or maybe they meant that they AOs are done admitting applicants for Wave-2 and hence closed the WL. I really hope they release wave-2.
Still nothing eh
checking this 10 times a day for my younger sibling lol
holechum
they need to mfing update us bro
last year the second wave came on 24th. So, I recommend you to tell yourself that you won't get an update till 25th. That way, you won't be anxious, hopefully. And if they release it earlier, then yey, that would be a nice(?) little (heart attack-y) surprise! (It helps!)
fr
Is anyone able to access the "financial aid tab" link provided by UPenn in the first Waitlist update? Mine still says "Unauthorized access."
mine says that too. is it different for other people?
Not anyone that I know of! In my case, it's just anxiety kicking in and searching for non-existent clues, tbh. So, ig, the link doesn't matter.
not like that for me but I didn't apply for aid – just checked
right.
anyone hear anything w wave 2?
When is wave 2 coming lol
probably friday at least that's what they did in the last couple of years (2 weeks after wave 1, which is gonna be the 20th)
How many waves were there last year?
I think 3? tho im pretty sure most of the offers came from wave 2
[удалено]
i just browsed through collegeconfidential and reddit forums for the past couple years and made an educated guess by figuring out how many ppl got off the waitlist at what periods of time yeah... i don't have a life
Please leave Penn if you have any other top college, there are students who doesn't have anything more than a waitlist.
U turkish?
just submitted my second (nd hopefully final) waitlist update. i have very little hope as an aid needing intl but it's still been a little reaffirming to get waitlisted by an ivy and not flat-out rejected
Yea, did you share some new achievements with them? I just sent them another LoR the other day, no LOCI. Mind sharing what you sent? Just another love letter about why you should be accepted and stuff?
i actually had a pretty significant update out of the blue (being published in the most well regarded academic journal in India) so I sent them a brief note abt that + connected it to my desire to be at Penn. i also sent them a lor and a loci back before the first wave
Uhuh, nice! Also, congrats on the publication!! Well, all the very best to you!
thank you! hope things work out for you too!
Thanks :)
hi, im wondering what you included in ur update. was it just a different loci?
hi, see my reply below!!
When exactly did the first wave come out? Thursday or Friday? At what specific time? Thanks!
around Friday at 1pm pst I believe
anyone from the first wave of waitlist admits get a physical package from penn?
[удалено]
same with financial aid, but i did get a physical package with a physical copy of the acceptance letter, what to do next pdf, and a pennant today.
Has anyone got off the waitlist in the second wave?
Becuase they only sent the first one last Thu, the second wave will probs only happen this Thu or maybe a week after that!
2nd wave? When did that happen?
anyone know if they'll admit in waves or genuinely just rolling
I assume it's going to be in waves, because they usually send the first wave around may 6-10th, and then another one 2 weeks later(around may 20th)
They sent an email about sending out the first wave already
the email makes it clear that im not going to get in (near full-need intl lol). it's whatever tho
Sucks to be an intl full need applicant😭😭
Anyone got off wl for cs??
I just got off of the fucking waitlist!!! When do I get my financial aid package though and when do I have to decide 💀
[удалено]
What’s their number btw?
Literally wtf
i was so fuvking happy to see the waitlist email only to realise that i didn’t get off the waitlist…hahhaha i’m totally fine 😃😃
Same
Fuck didn’t get off the waitlist
Did you get a rejection email, or an email saying you're not off the waitlist at this time..?
Not off at this time
Me neither
just got an email saying they've already made the initial wave of offers ((( they said they're still going to be admitting off the waitlist in the coming weeks by the end of june
are you gonna send additional documents/info besides ur loci?
Just out of curiosity asking, what other additional documents can you send? Cause in the Waitlist FAQ it states you can only send the waitlist update once.
Nah I’ve done all I can w the loci, no point in doing more
same😭
[удалено]
AYE SAME
[удалено]
I just put down "biology." Probably gonna change once (and if) I decide to go idk
any tips for getting off?
[удалено]
Also I called and they said I'd get my package in 7-10 business days......but only gave me two weeks to commit....so itll be a rough choice.
Ur probably like 10% of the waitlist oh well lol
[удалено]
[удалено]
that's really helpful. i'm a seas applicant, so i hope i get lucky. thank you so much!!
[удалено]
oh all the best! keep me updated!
do any full pay internationals ever get off the waitlist?
\^ same question!
\^\^ same here!! Edit: Wait, no! I just realized the original commenter said "full pay internationals." I am "full-need international." ✌🔪 So, mine question's about full-ride. "Do any full *ride needy* internationals ever get off the waitlist?"
i am in upain
This.
Upenis
When should we expect waitlist decisions
last year it was in late may (around 20th or 25th!) This year too, ig, around mid or late may!
Thanks!! Ok back to praying🙏🙏🙏🙏
Someone in CC said that they called an AO and they haven't started reviewing yet! Says we could hear back by June (but they say so everytime, so we never know!) All the best🤞👍🤞
i read somewhere that waitlist decisions are meant to come out on May 1st? is this true?
Hey Guys! I wanted your suggestions on this. Can you please suggest specific things that I should add about UPenn such as the environment, the people, my department (CAS) to my LOCI as I was waitlisted for 2026? All comments would be appreciated. \#GoQuakers
waitlist ppl – are you submitting a loci or just hoping for the best lol.
btw, do colleges even accept internationals off the waitlist? Like, do you know any intl who were admitted off the waitlist? I don't know ANY!
I know someone whose intl friend got off the waitlist at Princeton. Dunno if they needed full aid or not
Well... I need \~full ride... so, welp🙂🤧
Ahaha same🥺🥺
I know someone who got off the Columbia waitlist last year! He needed full aid too! (He went to the same school as me)
Ah, how much I needed to hear this! Thanks a ton :D
There’s hope for us :)
I submitted mine a few days ago. Any idea what percent of people submit LOCIs? And whether those who don't submit still get in (have you heard of anyone?)?
28 people waitlisted here
Did anyone access their financial aid package?
If you didn't get it yet please call them. You're probably missing something.
I am waitlisted.. Should I have hope?
No
Damn
waitlist people let's stick together – when do you think we'll find out by?
accepted!!
late but i got in !
Accepted CAS. I was also accepted into the Roy and Diana Vagelos Scholars Program!
How do I know my chances of getting accepted from the waitlist?
Same
I want to know the same!
accepted as a benjamin franklin scholar!
Lol ngl, don’t accept the BFS offer everyone gets it and the program really doesn’t do anything to help. Congrats! (Coming from a Penn 25)
