<p>Congrats guys!!! :)</p>
<p>I originally thought this was fake due to the very commercial-sounding web address. Now, the fact that they hired non-Penners to create the site invalidates that evidence. However, it seems like a lot of people got this email (judging by the numer of people who have come here and the fact that 2/4 of my friends got it too). I didn’t think likely letters were that common? I emailed my regional admissions officer; hopefully they’ll check over the weekend. If not, we’ll just wait and see if something shows up in the mail.</p>
<p>We’ll see. It’s hosted by GoDaddy.com . This is all very possible, it just doesn’t seem like an Ivy would do this. Highly unlike any school, actually.</p>
<p>For all those who were concluding it is real because the email had UPENN’s address as from, note that is very easy to fake email headers. The email header also revealed this email address domain:</p>
<p>*@e2ma.net</p>
<p>I’ve *'ed out what was before the @ because it was a string of numbers and I don’t know if it can be used by someone at say CCA to identify who the email was sent to (aka me lol). </p>
<p>And the email header has this tidbit too:</p>
<p>Received: from mail171.e2ma.net (mail171.e2ma.net [66.179.147.171])</p>
<p>Hello,
to all U Penn Likely candidates…I’m Ed Sirianno, President and Creative Director of CCA, the communications agency that works with Dean Eric Furda, and his team at U. Penn. CCA helped Dean Furda to produce the video and email that was send to you tonight. So if you received one, congratulations to you…it’s real! You’ll soon be receiving a print snail mail version of his letter to you… but please note that at the bottom of the site with the video, l there is a letter from Dean Furda, and the PS asks you to send him an email. If you are still in doubt, email him and you’ll no doubt receive a response from him.</p>
<p>Once again, Congratulations,</p>
<p>Ed Sirianno
President</p>
<p>what did the letter say?</p>
<p>Just got a reply from the admissions officer. They said it is indeed legitimate. Enjoy the news!</p>
<p>Holy Crap! I got a likely!</p>
<p>Only CC could attempt to ruin one of the best days of my life.</p>
<p>Do you mind saying who your regional admission rep is?</p>
<p>Let’s make a list.
So who got them:</p>

<p>Congrats to those who got the email. What college did you apply to? Any engineering folks?</p>
<p>@esirianno Go home, you can’t type correctly. Your company isn’t publicly traded, thus you aren’t a CEO.</p>
<p>CONGRATS TO EVERYONE!</p>
<p>If you guys still aren’t convinced, just wait a couple days until you get something in the mail.</p>
<p>So relieved that this is legit. </p>
<p>CAS for me, by the way.</p>
<p>Anyone other than CAS?</p>
<p>CAS for me</p>
<p>CAS here as well.</p>
<p>Thanks for posting the college…waiting to see if anyone got one for Engineering…</p>
