<p>GOOOO NITTANY LIONS!</p>
<p>December 10, 2004
Dear ?, </p>
<p>Congratulations! It gives me great pleasure to invite you to attend the University of Pennsylvania as a member of the School of Engineering and Applied Science Class of 2009, the 253rd graduating class since Benjamin Franklin founded the University in 1740. </p>
<p>We were pleased to receive an exceptionally fine group of applicants for next year’s entering class. You have my warmest personal congratulations on your outstanding achievements. We were delighted to see that you had selected Penn as your first choice for your college experience. </p>
<p>Since you applied as an Early Decision candidate, we have enclosed the materials concerning your matriculation. The acceptance reply card should be returned, together with the $200.00 acceptance deposit, to the Admissions Office by January 1, 2005. We do expect that your academic performance will continue throughout your senior year at the same high level you have maintained up to this point. Additional information about your matriculation at Penn, including housing registration forms, will be mailed to you in April. </p>
<p>I look forward to welcoming you to campus next September. Our faculty, staff and students eagerly await your arrival next fall and I am certain that your years with us will be both challenging and rewarding. In the meantime, you should not hesitate to call upon this office if we may assist you during the coming months. </p>
<p>Best wishes. </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Willis J. Stetson, Jr.
Dean of Admissions</p>
