<p>did anyone get a postcard from the admissions office after you sent in your form 1A? i got an email from them about an alternative social security number assigned to me, but im not sure if that was supposed to be my indicator…</p>
<p>also, has anyone been contacted about the optional interview?</p>
<p>thanksss</p>
<p>I just got a postcard and a letter last week saying they'd recieved my form 1A and some other stuff about applying early decision, I sent my form in quite a while ago though. It doesn't hurt to email them back or call.</p>
<p>georgiegirl- what did the letter say b/c i only got the postcard but i am applying ED too</p>
<p>sorry...the letter was for applying early decision and requesting financial aid, so i think if you didnt apply for fin. aid you'd probably just get the postcard.</p>
<p>i got my postcard and financial aid letter today!! thanks guysss</p>
<p>I got a blue postcard confirming that I've sent in Form 1A. It also tells me that I'm responsible for the rest of my application, including exams. It also asks for me to include my name, date of birth, and last 4 digits of my SSN for any supplemental pieces to my application. This is about all that's on it.</p>
<p>I haven't gotten anything back yet.... o.o</p>
<p>what was the turnaround time, submission to recieving the postcard.</p>
<p>and i DO have until 1 nov, right?</p>
<p>Yeah, does it really take 3 weeks, like they say?</p>
<p>Because I wanna hand in my Secondary School report ASAP (our school makes us put in a request and it takes 3 weeks to process the transcript and crap...1000 kids in my year).</p>
<p>I have lots of questions about applying.</p>
<p>I've done a large portion of it online, I haven't submitted anything yet, and I think I might prefer to do it all by paper.</p>
<p>Do you guys recommend one method over another? How do I ensure that my rec letters are suitable. </p>
<p>Also, if one of my teachers only submitted a standard letter, and not the actual Penn issued form, is this acceptable?</p>
<p>i mailed mine in on September 13th.. and i JUST got hte postcard today (October 17th) =P</p>
<p>Eck, I feel so behind! I'm going ED and I'm not really complete yet.</p>
