Penn Law c/o 2021 Applicants (2017-2018) Forum

[PostNihilist]

So I went UCR2 last weekend and it has me really confused. Why the hell were they reviewing my app on the weekend? I haven't seen anyone else report the same UCR2 date and I couldn't find anything from this cycle or last where someone reported a weekend UCR2 date. I'm expecting a rejection, as my hard stats are a pretty serious reach (25<L<50, G<25), although I have excellent softs. I find it hard to believe they would put in work on the weekend just to reject me, but I wonder if I'm just too invested to look at this objectively. I seriously have no idea what to make of this and it's driving me a little crazy, anyone have any thoughts? (besides "stop being so neurotic..." )

I have quite similar stats, and my UCR2 date is 1/9. Hopefully the "holistic review process" will do us some favor. Are you RD or ED II?

I'm RD, and honestly, I'd be happy with a WL. My weekend UCR2 date has just been bugging me...
Good luck! Think we might find out in the next wave

So I submitted my ED2 form yesterday and I just went UCR2 but the status checker didn't acknowledge the receipt of the contract

when I switched to ED2 the status checker didn't change besides the ED agreement boxes checked at the bottom.

Yeah I was saying that the boxes aren't checked. They just emailed me confirming that they switched my app but the boxes still aren't checked.

I think that should be fine as long the admission office confirmed switching your application to ED II. Don't worry

Yup, not worried at all. Just being thorough.

I'm also an ED II applicant. Went UR 2 today. Do they release all ED2 app decisions at the same time? Or is it rolling like regular?

[jban]

wait how did you find the EDII form?

That’s weird, I went UCR 1/8/18 and then it was changed on 1/9/18 I’m EDII

[jkander31]

My UCR1 was 1/8, and UCR2 1/9, which seemed quite strange. Status hasn't changed since. Feeling

[vikingrunner]

I was complete as of 1/2 (submitted during the holiday break) and am still sitting at "application received and processing" also dated as 1/2. Am I just at the bottom of the pile since I'm RD? Or is a ding incoming?

No, plenty of people--myself included--have reported taking a while to go UCR. It bears repeating that as much as people want to think that status checker updates can offer clues about their eventual decision, nothing suggests this is true.

Same here... I’m starting to think that maybe I remembered my dates incorrectly. Prob my first UCR wasn’t on 8th but 9th

[AndyNewMan9240]

You can call Penn Law Admissions to change your status from RD to ED, but I believe you have to do this on Monday, which is the due date for ED, round 2.

I'm going to guess Friday Jan. 26th based on last year's decisions. If anything the Penn Twitter feed will let us know. lol
