Last year people heard on the first Thursday between 1 & 2 via email, and the year before the first Friday around 5. Sooo maybe soon?

ooooh thanks!

I hate how Penn doesn't think that this counts as the first week of March

Unless, that is, no one on TLS got any named scholarships

Do we have any expected dates for when the rest of the merit packages start getting announced? I'm getting impatient

Ughhh it better be early next week cause theyre getting more days than the prev 2 years to deliberate and whatnot

Named scholarship invitees are supposed to hear back "during the first week of March." I would've thought this meant last week, but no matter how you look at it, today (March 7th) is the last possible day that could fall into "first week of March," correct?! So today must be the day!!

My thinking exactly! Argh! Why is Penn so slow with this stuff

The slowness is killing my strategy.

Yeah I want them to hurry up and get on to the other offers too. Penn is now officially the only school I haven't withdrawn from that I have no $ info for. I have a chart with everything on it, and it's ridiculously expensive right now compared to the other ones.

You forgot to factor in the 20% Ivy discount (or premium, depends on how you frame it) ...

I'm not factoring in anything until I know where I stand.

Guess Penn has a different conception of "first week of March" than the rest of us...

Seriously. Ugh.

We are on break now too. I don't know if that means they are going to be working more, or less.

Fuuuuck ;_;

So do we not think that they'll be sending anything out this week after all? :/

Those liars

From my conversations with folks in their office, part of the reason there is such a delay is that when they do begin releasing information, it will be for a LOT of people. Pretty much anyone accepted up until mid-Feb can expect their finaid by mid-March, i.e. the next 7-10 days.

* And the release of all this finaid info could be one huge batch, possibly.

Don't know if I'm excited or scared for that!

I think the operative word for those of us without any named invites (have only Levy gone out? or have first round invites been issued for all the big scholarships?) is "meh". Hello, Dean's Scholarship.

Yeah me too! I have no idea what to expect from them, and I'm going to have major hesitation if I get nothing/barely anything. A substantial Dean's scholly will be greatly appreciated! Also, since there's such a delay does that mean they're sending out ALL financial aid info and not just scholly information? I don't know how it went last year.

You get it all at the same time if I recall correctly.

Just got an email. I got a Levy Scholarship! I emailed them asking if a decision had been made yet earlier today, but the scholarship email wasn't formatted as a response to my email, so hopefully the rest of the decisions will be out soon.

I'm not even in the running for a named scholarship, but I still hope I hear about a Dean's scholarship sometime soon now!
