University of Pennsylvania Withholds Admissions Statistics…Again
For the Class of 2028, the University of Pennsylvania has once again decided to withhold their admissions information, a practice that began with the Class of 2026.
We do know that UPenn received around 65,000 applications this year, a 10% increase from last year’s 59,000 applications. Last year, Penn admitted 3,474 students, resulting in an overall acceptance rate of 5.8%.
We will update you with more information if and when the university releases their exact figures.
Fun Facts:
It is a tradition to throw toast on the field during all home football games during the line “Here’s a toast to dear old Penn” in a school fight song. The toast tradition dates back to prohibition, when the school banned alcohol. The students cheekily began to take the toast cue a bit more literally.
It is a freshman myth to never cross the compass that is embedded into the center of Locust Walk or else you will fail your first set of midterms. Allegedly, the myth was created by a fraternity as a conversation starter with freshmen women.
