<p>as decisions are now available, on behalf of the class of 2009 and all other penn undergraduates, i'd like to congratulate all those who have been accepted early decision.</p>
<p>we look forward to seeing you run around campus like crazy when you arrive at the end of august.</p>
<p>you can make old people like my to-be-senior class feel young again.</p>
<p>to all those who have been deferred, best of luck in april.</p>
<p>to all those who have been rejected, please don't feel let down; it's a shock, i know (from personal experience), but there are many other high-caliber schools out there which may indeed be a better fit for you all.</p>
<p>to everyone: no matter where you go, be it penn or any other institution, it's all about making the most of the opportunities you're given. strive for the best.</p>
