<p>So now how did they get my (and presumably other) applicant’s names and email addresses?</p>

42

<p>No, the video is 100% for RD students considering the date they mentioned.</p>

43

<p>I have no idea…
Maybe it IS a real likely letter? I just find the URL of the website and the fact that even people who did not receive it can click it very odd.</p>

44

<p>They mention a date in the video?!</p>

<p>I didn’t bother listening through even half, so if someone can post a time where the date is mentioned that would be awesome!</p>

45

<p>Who was the “sender” on your email? mine was from an admissions.upenn.edu address</p>

46

<p>What email address are the emails from?</p>

47

<p>@1253729 :25 “On March 30th…”</p>

48

<p>I believe the from address is forged on the email…I’ll let you guys know in less than 5 after I check out the video again…</p>

49

<p>By the way, this seems to be the person that @1… ( really don’t feel like retyping that number lol I’m so lazy…)</p>

<p>If like that doesn’t work, it’s @CCABrandAgency on Twitter.</p>

50

<p>In fact it came from the same email address that confirmed that my application was complete</p>

51

<p>Maybe it is the real likely letter and Penn just got kinda lazy with it? I find that kind of weird but whatever. Congrats if it is real!</p>

<p>[Welcome</a> to CCA New York | CCA](<a href=“http://www.ccanewyork.com/]Welcome”>http://www.ccanewyork.com/) is the company who did this, and they claim that they work with a wide array of colleges with communications.</p>

<p>This might just be legit.</p>

<p>Edit: <a href=“http://www.ccanewyork.com/our-clients.html[/url]”>http://www.ccanewyork.com/our-clients.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>UPenn is listed as a client. I believe this is real.</p>

53

<p>My email came from <a href=“mailto:eapps@admissions.upenn.edu”>eapps@admissions.upenn.edu</a>.</p>

<p>CCA, the company behind pennlikely, is this: [Our</a> Story | CCA](<a href=“http://www.ccanewyork.com/our-story.html]Our”>http://www.ccanewyork.com/our-story.html) , and Penn is listed as one of their clients.</p>

<p>Ugh.</p>

54

<p>So it seems to be the real likely letter and Penn just hired some communications company to send them out. Congrats!</p>

55

<p>why “ugh”?</p>

56

<p>But that is CCA’s website. So what if they say they work for Penn? I can make a website saying I work for NASA? Does Penn’s website or any press release from Penn show CCA does this work for them?</p>

58

<p>Ugh because I would really, really like this not to be someone’s stupid prank and this whole ordeal is extremely discouraging.</p>

59

<p>My son got the likely letter from below upenn.edu:</p>

<p>“From: University of Pennsylvania, Office of Admissions <a href=“mailto:eapps@admissions.upenn.edu”>eapps@admissions.upenn.edu</a>
Date: Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 3:02 PM
Subject: Important Message from the Dean of Admissions”</p>

<p>So it’s REAL.</p>

<p>The likely letter came from the same e-mail address that confirmed my application. CCA obviously works for Penn. Why is this even up for debate?</p>
