Welcome Weekend is coming up in less than a month. Anyone here planning on attending? Should we try and do a gmatclub meetup one day?

DesireLive · Answer

There's a convenient 3 hour gap between 3:30 PM and 6:30 PM on Saturday, Feb 1.

xprometheusx · Answer

How did I miss you post Desire, yes there is. That would work well. Anyone else planning on attending?

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has started Re Vera process. How would you know it's done? Will there be an email notification or portal udpate? Also once Re Vera is completed with no issue, does that mean there is no uncertainty regarding admission?

Thanks!

Dicedpineapple · Answer

Anyone in London? Maybe we could grab a drink around the end of Feb? Would also be interested in learning about the Re Vera process as asked above.

I’m in WA. Moving in the summer probably. I know hanging out isn’t really an option at the moment, but maybe once this is slightly less restrictive maybe a Seattle admit hangout?

Has anyone that placed a deposit for R2 received a note about their PennKey yet? Or can anyone from R1 speak to how long it took?

shift808 · Answer

It took about one week for most in round 1, but who knows how well staffed the IT department is right now with COVID-19. It sounds like a couple round 1 people had problems of one type or another, which lead to significant delays.

navysubmarines · Answer

I submitted my deposit this past Tuesday (31Mar) and received my PennKey setup email the next day (1Apr).

dstrategy · Answer

In some cases they get lost via email and you need to request a new setup code that gets sent by snail mail.

On a separate note - just saw that they updated the welcome weekend events. Has anyone used Facebook Workplace before?

Hey everyone, does anyone have a view on what the deferral policy of Wharton is? For an R2 admit, can it only be done before the deposit deadline (i.e. 4th May, 2020) or can that be done before registrations (~before mid July)?

xprometheusx · Answer

I haven't heard anything about them allowing deferrals. Your best bet would be to reach out to the admissions office to see if they will grant one.

Hey guys, I was just admitted off the WL. I'm going out of town for a long time on a planned hiking trip where there won't be internet. I'm trying to take care of all of this stuff very fastly and my portal hasn't updated quite yet. Do you guys know how we deal with transcripts (like do we get undergrad to send to Wharton or do we get undergrad to send to Re Vera)? Thanks!

nerdyrunner · Answer

Transcripts go to Wharton. Re Vera is just employment verification. You get your UPenn key after putting down your deposit. The virtual stuff through workplace is pretty cool so far. Congrats!!!

For international students I believe it is July 1.

hellothere88 · Answer

hi I am wondering how does Re Vera contact our recommenders? By phone or email? How about for international applicants?
