CAS congrats package

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>This is kind of random but I was going through the stuff I received from Penn and I carefully read the letter from the Dean that was included in a package with Penn research booklet, career path pamphlet and this postcard-esque thingy.</p>

<p>I realized that the letter from the Dean was hand signed. It made me wonder if every CAS incoming students got this unless he got someone else to sign for him? That's a lot of letters!</p>

<p>The main reason I'm asking is because he had said "I invite you to contact a member of my senior staff...who knows your candidacy well" and I want to know if he was serious or is just saying that just because.</p>

2

<p>when did you get that??</p>

3

<p>How do you know it was hand-signed? Did you lick it to see if the ink bled? Lol.</p>

4

<p>he hand signed the ED ones (but it was the dean of admissions so he probably did it regardless of school)</p>

5

<p>I applied ED and never received the package that the poster is referring to. I checked both my December acceptance and March acceptance and neither have that sentence.</p>

6

<p>What makes you think it was hand signed?</p>

7

<p>well, its funny u mention this whole “hand-signed” thing because when i went to the upenn nursing preview weekend. Mr. Furda, the dean, said that he did in fact sign every one of our letters (atleast for nursing, idk about CAS, or other schools) so urs is probably the real deal also. but then again, like i said, i only kno he signed all of the nursing student letters</p>

<p>sorry i meant my acceptance letter =P</p>

<p>thanks for all the replies.</p>

<p>But I wasn’t talking about the acceptance letter. The package+letter came after I was accepted (regular decision) and it just has a bunch of brochures/booklets. I can tell the letter is hand-signed because it’s so obvious to the naked eye it’s not a copy. There are areas where you can tell the pen pushed harder into the paper and you can definitely tell if you look from the back. </p>

<p>So I’m guessing not everyone accepted into CAS got it?</p>

<p>I guess it’s a nice touch, but probably it would be more productive to use the time to better the school’s appeal in other ways.</p>

11

<p>I got it, but I’m not sure it was hand signed. I wouldn’t think too much of it, but I’m sure you are special RedPhoenix.</p>

12
