<p>=============================================</p>
<p><strong><em>CONGRATULATIONS to Penn Class of 2009!!!!! You have earned it! *</em></strong></p>
<p>Penn/Wharton was definitely my dream, but not all goals can be achieved. Now I will move on, dreaming bigger and trying harder than ever before. I suggest to everyone who is rejected to think positively. Instead of a megalith that will crash you, make the rejection a step-stone for your other goals. In the end, acceptance or rejection will become equally valuable for you.</p>
<p>Again Congratulations Class of 2009!</p>
<p>Congratulations and condolences where appropriate. I can't even imagine what it must be like to be in your shoes... guess I'll find out in a week.</p>
