Any other Wilson invitees not yet hear back about their submission? Should we assume we didn't get it, or do you think some are still being reviewed? Has anyone received a email explicitly stating that their submission wasn't accepted?

Do you mean an email saying "yes we received your essay" or the actual scholarship decision? I received the first of those but not the second, submitted a week ago.

There are reports of people being named alternates for the scholarship, so if you haven't gotten a decision yet, I'd say that you're still in the running.

The actual decision; I received a confirmation email that my submission was received but no decision yet.

Seeing so many people go UR2 recently...has me optimistic for a wave soon. I went UR2 on 2/9 and for some reason was under the impression that UR2 meant decision soon for Penn.

I was invited to apply for the Wilson yesterday (admitted 2/26), so I would assume they are still in the process of reviewing and awarding them.

Advice please.
So I'm just now discovering that Penn offers exactly what I want, and I should have put alot more attention into my application. I went UR2 a few days ago. Should I send in a LOCI? I've got a good draft ready to go and will edit until tomorrow, but I don't want to be in waitlist limbo. I have a full ride to a T20 but would definitely pay sticker at Penn considering what I've learned.

Just in case anyone else is as obsessed with looking at Penn/Philly things for the fall, and is thinking about housing, there's a pre-recorded online housing info session for grad students here: https://upennsas.adobeconnect.com/_a101 ... ode=normal

It's kind of slow and seems like they're really trying to sell Sansom Place, but after 28:00 it gets more useful. And if you are procrastinating at work like I am, it helps feed the Penn excitement :lol:

ETA: meant to post this in the other penn thread, sorry :oops:

If there are no calls tomorrow then we'll be three full weeks since the last "when penn law called" tweet, and I assume 3 weeks since the last acceptances

Just got an email; I received the James Wilson scholarship!

Submitted my essay for it on 03/04, so it's looking to be a two week turnaround, approximately.

If you look upthread, I was accepted via e-mail last Saturday.

I stand corrected although that sounds like it wasn't part of a "wave" so maybe acceptances will now just be trickling out

I know nothing about Philly, so what would you consider a reasonable minimum COA for Penn? Is the official COA estimate about as low as you can get?
