Hand-Written Letter From Cornell ~ Am I special?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I was accepted to Hotel School last week. I saw my acceptance online and received a formal admissions letter the next day. Then today I received another letter- well its actually a card with a watercolor painting of Cornell on the front and the words "Cornell Trilogy". Then inside the card is a hand-written note:</p>

<p>"Dear ____ -
Just a personal congratlations and welcome! Were excited to have you join us at Cornell in the fall.<br>
All the best-
Brad Walp"</p>

<p>He also included his card in the note (Brad Walp, Director of Enrollment Management and International Programs).</p>

<p>So I was just wondering if this means anything special, or if Cornell is just trying to improve its yield rates with that sly presumptive clause?</p>

<p>Did anyone else receive this note or something similar?</p>

<p>The yield rate for the hotel school is really high anyways. I didn't get a handwritten letter when I was accepted, but I didn't apply to the hotel school.</p>
