<p>Did anyone receive an email from Penn's Kelly Writers House? I just want to know if it was generic... thanks!</p>
<p>What did your email say? I applied to Penn but didn’t get one…</p>
<p>Greetings from the Kelly Writers House at the University of Pennsylvania! My name is Jamie-Lee Josselyn and along with the Writers House’s Faculty Director Al Filreis, I work with prospective students who might find a creative and literary “home” in our community if admitted to Penn. I’m writing to you now as a way of reaching out and making sure you know about some of the projects and programs we offer here.
…
Please don’t hesitate to email me if you have any questions at all about Penn or the Writers House. Also, if you’re planning a trip to campus and you’d like to visit the Writers House, I’ll happy to set up a time for you to meet with me or with one of my co-workers here so you can get an even stronger sense of what we’re all about. </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Jamie-Lee</p>
<p>It sounds very generic, but I’ve received some personal contact from admissions and was wondering if this is not merely a ‘hey, don’t forget to check out penn’ email. I suppose it’s only for prospective writers? I’m majoring in foreign language… you?</p>
<p>That’s cool! Yeah, I would have no idea whether it means anything though. Either way it’s a nice email… </p>
<p>I applied to the Biological Basis of Behavior Major. So that probably explains why I didn’t get that email haha…</p>
<p>Omg I got one too!! Did you indicate an interest in writing cause I did. Could it be a good sign?</p>
<p>My interest is in International Relations, middle eastern studies. Should I have gotten one?</p>
<p>Well, seeing as how I applied to SEAS, it makes sense I didn’t get one.</p>
<p>I believe the Kelly Writers House recruits during the application process. There was an article about it in the Daily Pennsylvanian [Kelly</a> Writer’s House attracts ‘most talented’ student writers | The Daily Pennsylvanian](<a href=“http://thedp.com/article/kelly-writers-house-attracts-most-talented-student-writers]Kelly”>http://thedp.com/article/kelly-writers-house-attracts-most-talented-student-writers)</p>
<p>reply reply reply. i highly recommend contacting them and expressing interest in their programs. certain centers like Kellys Writers House and Fox Leadership have some pull with admissions</p>
<p>Jealous!! :o
I indicated a double major in English & Poli Sci with the career choice of lawyer (1st) and journalist (2nd)…and got no email. 
Sad day. So I guess it must be something special unless you put something more specific on your application that flagged them about you.</p>

<p>my app was filled with writing related activities such as attending a writing program, being in competetive journalism, songwriting, writing prose and poetry, and indicating that my first choice career was to be a writer/journalist so that probably had alot to do with me getting the letter. It may not be indicative of much anyhow</p>
<p>Yay so many responses! To respond to starrpower, I didn’t indicate much interest in writing myself, but I had an english teacher rec…</p>
<p>Did you respond to the email? I wish this could be an indication that our chances at Penn may be good ; p</p>
<p>I didn’t get one but I applied as a science major.</p>
