<p>I don't think bball meant any harm...</p>

1022

<p>bball that comment was unnecessary
*they just got rejected. You don't have to rub it on them</p>

1023

<p>forgiven, I live about 35 min driving distance from Penn. No letter yet, but I'm hoping just to get this over with. This is ridiculous.</p>

1024

<p>luckycharms44, that's so cute that your essay warranted a little note in the letter. Nice job :) Enjoy NYU!!</p>

1025

<p>in NJ, nothing today (mail's arrived tho)
nothing online :/</p>

1026

<p>layla, you're from drexel right? goood luckkk. i have a couple of friends there, and when i visit, it's quite depressing since it's RIGHT next to penn, haha.</p>

1027

<p>Yeah, I'm from Drexel. I just want a letter one way or another so I can make an official decision. This is driiving me nuts.</p>

1028

<p>i meant no harm by comment, i was jus pting out that thse 2 rejections are no indication of other ppl's rejections b/c their STATS were NOT STELLAR</p>

<p>i am sorry if i am coming across as blunt, but a below average hs record and a 1250 SAT, and a gpa from a very modest school is not equal to a VERY strong candiate</p>

<p>and i myself, am not golden either, i consider myself "strong", simple as that</p>

<p>good luck to everyone</p>

1029

<p>bball,
sometimes i WONDER what makes you DECIDE where to use CAPITAL letters and when not to.</p>

1030

<p>its emphasis, i don't know how to do "bold" face</p>

1031

<p>Uhg, I want a decision. This is taking forever! Did anyone check the online decision system?</p>

1032

<p>bball87, please terminate your offensive comments! Please be considerate. I mean, how would you feel when you are rejected and recieved some rude comments :(</p>

1033

<p>w.e....i don't think i was offensive in any way...plz go ahead</p>

<p>criticize all u want, i got REJECTED BY BROWN....plz....tell me i am unworthy</p>

<p>also, criticze me for gettin waitlisted by Columbia and Duke</p>

<p>as u can see, not gettin into any of these schools does not qualify as a failure...</p>

1034

<p>bball87 is just being acerbic, which is not a bad quality at all. Sure, the attitude may seem less tactful, but it leads to less complications:)</p>

1035

<p>bball87, please do not have the view of feeling yourself unworthy. I just feel depressed for the candidates that were rejected. Exactly, you did not did anything inappropriate, but please be considerate. I bet everyone that get rejected may feel the same way you are. Depressed, Hopeless, Frustrated, Annoyed. Bball87, my comment wasn't intended to critize you. I can understand how you feel, because I feel I will be rejected by Penn! :) :(</p>

1036

<p>I apologies if my comment was misleading.</p>

1037

<p>guys... this is what I think...
I think the guy who picks up the phone at Penn's Admissions
is a LIAR (keeps saying it's rollin rollin rollin), and the computer guy (who's supposed to post on-line decisions ASAP) is just too lazy and malfunctioning...!</p>

<p>why don't we phone on Monday to find out our status???
hopefully he won't say "it's rollin rollin rollin" again....
that's too much Limp Bizkit!!</p>

<p>cuz many more decisions must have been made by last Friday...
they must know whether we got accepted, rejected, or still being evaluated~~~!!!</p>

<p>it is sunday, it isn't open on sunday. it looks like they put the letters in the mail friday and people close by already got them on saturday so they should arrive on monday. also, i think if you call one of the transfer directors or assistants, you get the same guy as if they connect you to the transfer office. i dont think he will connect you to an officer either, he is the ultimate guard dog.</p>
