Indication of Penn Acceptance?

<p>In the ED discussion thread, it appears some ED applicants who applied for FA recieved this email:</p>

<p>I am pleased to tell you that we are waiving your $400.00 enrollment deposit. The information contained in your financial aid application indicates that such an exemption is warranted.</p>

<p>As soon as we receive your online reply that you will attend Penn, we will reserve your place in the freshman class. No deposit will be required.</p>

<hr>

<p>Does this imply an acceptance? I, myself, applied for FA because my family income is <$40000. I received no such email. Does the lack of this email imply rejection/deferral for me?</p>

<p>similar situation here… but I keep comforting myself by saying that even though our family income is low, we are not that short of money… and Penn simply thought that $400 won’t hurt me… </p>

<p>We’ll know in 30 hrs, no need for last minute speculation anymore I guess…</p>

<p>^Did you apply for a fee-waiver though? Btw, do you have a china passport? Apparently, they wouldn’t give me one unless I gave up my Canadian one, which I’m quite tempted to do.</p>

4

<p>So this email corresponds to FA applicants of US/Canada/Mexico residency?</p>

<p>Only a few Intls get aid, so I suppose so.</p>

I gave up my Chinese passport year ago… it isn’t that useful (other than saving the troubles of getting Chinese visas for staying in China)</p>

<p>Oh hmmm… there was a fee-waiver application? <em>relief~</em>That makes me feel soooo much better…</p>

7

<p>^why on earth would you be tempted to give up your Canadian passport?</p>

8

<p>Why would you give up your Chinese passport? It’s like one of the hardest to get in the world o: Go chinamen lolol</p>

<p>I didn’t apply for a deposit waiver. I wasn’t even thinking about a deposit, since admission is the more important than anything right now. </p>

<p>Regardless, you guys shouldn’t worry about it.</p>

<p>^^LOL… to be honest… it is literally IMPOSSIBLE to get a Chinese passport… I think there are probably a handful of people ever in history to get one without being born with it… nonrenewable resource~ but low on rarity since 1.4 billion people have it</p>

<p>^agree… pointless worrying now</p>
