<p>Can any penn applicants from last year describe what an acceptance or rejection letter looks like/says? Also what does the decision online look like is it a letter or is it just accepted/rejected/defered?</p>
<p>If accepted, balloons fly out of the envelope.
If deferred, a big hand comes out, pats you on the back and says, "There, there...there's still some hope"
If rejected, a big boxer's gloves pops out and hits you in the nose.</p>
<p>hahha, someone actually posted the letters some time last year, but it may not be here anymore....guess we'll have to wait</p>
<p>I read that the first word of the online acceptance last years was "Congratulations . . ." So, ppl were saying they would mentally prepare themselves by knowing that or whatever.</p>
<p>NOTHING can prepare you.....telling you the words, showing you, it isn't YOURS. I know how nervous and impatient you all are but it won't count until it is yours.....you know w/ the entire family looking over your shoulder pretending that you are click, click, clicking!!!</p>
<p>I'm expecting a punch in the face from mine.</p>
<p>It isn't that dramatic.....it is a GUTreaction not one of pain from a sucker punch. One thing is certain you feel like the entire free world is watching.......very awkward.</p>
<p>my tactic: don't get my hopes up, so that way when i get the rejection letter, i'll be disappointed, but i'll be like "yea, i saw that coming." on the off chance that i were accepted/deffered, i'll be like "omg, well that's a ****<em>ing miracle!!</em> ^_^</p>
<p>Reading an acceptance letter is one of the best feelings</p>
