Congrats! I will be doing so soon!

[] WhisperingWillingBoar
13:49
I'm not sure. Last year it looks like they were all around the same time-frame. I think before Christmas break for sure.
[] WhisperingWillingBoar
13:49
Last year it says 12/15 was the date for all of the ones accepted ED 1 and 01/24 for those accepted ED 2.
idk how I will survive these next two months waiting lol

Lol, i feel the same way. I'm doing everything I can to ace my last 3 classes to hopefully push my GPA to the 75th percentile. My LSAT is at their median so we shall see.
15:21
lsat is above 75th, gpa below median.... hmmmm
15:21
what to expect

Idk clerk, I'm applying ED with above median GPA and median LSAT. We will see.
22:56
@Pleaseletmeinnow: good luck!!!
Applied ED with lsat at 75th and gpa right at 25th! According to last years lsd ED, I’d say I’m sitting at like 25% chance of acceptance so @pleaseletmeinnow you’re really close to like 90%
hi, 160/4.0 reverse splitter. would ED help
Probably still a stretch..

If you do not care about money, I would say try it
GorgeousVoraciousForest
17:33
Penn tends to be more splitter friendly
GorgeousVoraciousForest
17:34
160 may be stretching it a bit, but you never know
I check Penn's status every day and nothing has changed but I will continue to do that until December 15th.
Who else are applying ED to Penn!
I am but def more of a borderline candidate with an LSAT just above the median and 3.57 gpa (stem) but we'll see what happens good luck to everyone
Does anyone know when Penn starts sending out ED decisions?
probably 12/15
