My husband and I currently live in south Philly but are currently looking to move closer to campus so either Center City West (25-30 min walk from campus) or around Powellton Village (less than a mile from campus and very walkable).

Great news that the waitlist is opening up now! Recently received a call and offer! Had to decline in favor of another offer but best of luck to everyone still waiting!

Received notice of acceptance off the waitlist last week (woohoo) and wondering if any one else who’s newly accepted has received any FinAid info yet? Also can anyone (current or attending soon) speak to what’s typical for aid from Penn?

That’s helpful. When did you interview? I was late Jan. Waitlisted Jan 26th

Ah OK that’s helpful! Thanks for the update

Based on last years thread, I was expecting an email today regarding remaining on the waitlist. The closer we get the harder it seems to patiently wait LOL

Any waitlist movement for anyone?

Yea I saw that as well! I’ll just be over here holding my breath haha.

Just wondering if anyone got back to you? Wondering the same thing!

No. Nothing specific really. Just that I should check back with them etc. Also asked very specific questions like about the number of people typically accepted off the waitlist or the number of people accepted from the list last year and didn’t get a specific answer, but I think I should know by March. Hopefully sooner ?

Decided to stay on the list. I’m learning that it being full in January doesn’t mean it’ll remain full so there’s hope! Please let us k is what you hear after your interview

Got it and thanks for sharing. I was trying to determine whether or not that was something different what I received. It sounds like it might be. I received notice following the interview that the CC campus was full and that the app was on the waitlist where the choice could be made to remain on the waitlist, should a spot become available, or get considered for another campus. This sounds like maybe a diff email from what I received. Thanks for the info! Every insight helps my busy mind. Praying die good news soon

What did the email say? Did it give options for the other campuses? Just curious about the phrasing. Did you also apply?

Congratulations! That’s really great! How long was the window to decide? A couple weeks or kore like a couple months? Thanks again

Got it! I looked at old forums too and saw folks reporting getting off the waitlist on March 23 last year. Someone, who I don’t believe got in, was saying they’d still not gotten a decision as of March 28th. I also noticed around about the first week of March people had examined their FinAid packages and were deciding not to attend. Hope that helps. If you’re like me you’re just gathering information and any info I’ve found has been helpful for me (mentally) so far. Hope this helps even a tiny bit! Good luck
