A significant amount of time has passed since I graduated from high school. Is there any way for Penn to waive the high school transcript and letters of recommendation?

A significant amount of time has passed since I graduated from high school. Is there any way for Penn to waive the high school transcript and letters of recommendation?

All applicants must provide official transcripts and two letters of recommendation as part of their application. We understand that with time comes experience and growth and will evaluate all credentials in full context of an applicant’s journey. \ \ If you have been out of an academic setting for longer than five years, then you may provide recommendations from supervisors. Recommenders should speak to the applicant’s intellectual ability and potential.  Please refer to our Letters of Recommendation webpage to learn more about this part of the application.
