Penn Waitlist?
Thursday, August 25 2005 at 08:00 PM

Hey man, I just saw you got a Penn decision today. I wonder if we received the same e-mail? Mine said my app was "on hold" and invited me to send further documentation. They said I should received a decision by the end of March. I really considered it more of a deferment than waitlist, but I'm not sure. Is this the same e-mail you got?

Definitely not the same email
Thursday, August 18 2005 at 08:00 PM

Here's the first line: "The Admissions Committee has completed its review of your application and would like to offer you a position on our waitlist for which we are requesting a response to this message from you." Yours is definitely better. Congrats.

Interesting

I'm not sure one is better than the other. I could still end up rejected, where you've already been "accepted pending available room". At any rate, it's interesting to note the apparent difference between Penn's waitlist and deferment.

those WLs should be easy Accepts for you. Do you have a felony conviction or something?

No convictions . . .
Thursday, August 18 2005 at 08:00 PM

. . . or anything funny like that, but I am beginning to suspect that there is something seriously wrong with my application. It's either that or yield protection (or perhaps I applied too late, though I really don't think it's that).

err

that's fucked up. how the hell does GW and ND waitlist u with those kind of numbers???! it's gotta be some kind of yeild protection unless u did something horrible. gluck

Am I a dummy? What's yield protection?

Yield Protection
Thursday, August 18 2005 at 08:00 PM

Yield protection is when a school waitlists or rejects a qualified applicant because the student is unlikely to matriculate (i.e. his cores are too good). This is done to protect or improve rankings by being more "selective" in USN&WR.

Hi, Thanks! I applied around the same time you did and went complete 1/12/05, like you did. Hopefully you'll hear soon.
