@sillyface @JessicaWang I got the same email! Congrats to everyone, I hope we’ll see each other next year!
Just found out my nephew got the same letter.
Has anyone ever received the letter in the ED round and then been denied admission?
Are there only 4 people on CC that received the letter?
I got that email as well!! Good luck guys!!!
@desie1 I would definitely wager that a lot of people get denied admission in ED even though they had the letter. That’s just the reality of admissions. Jamie-Lee told us that the letter, while helpful, isn’t a cure-all pill. The amount of weight it holds could be a little, or it could be a lot, but my guess is that it’s about the same as a regular hook (so if you’re a little under in one area, it could push you over the edge). We should of course be super grateful that the KWH is recruiting us, but understand too that admission into Penn is still extraordinarily competitive, and one letter won’t necessarily fix an otherwise overall weak application.
