JBF, did you have a Skype call too? I guess my question is: is the Skype call something every transfer applicant does before they are accepted?

Also, how long have you both been "under review?"

JBF / MagicMike: How much time did Penn give you to deposit from the time of your offers? Had a Skype interview and said I'd hear in a few days. If I get accepted, it would be nice to see how everything else plays out before I have to make decisions.
