Official Penn ED Decisions - Class of 2010

<p>Good luck to all University of Pennsylvania Early Decision applicants. </p>

<p>Remember, whether you are accepted, deferred, or denied, everything happens for a reason. I assure you that things work out for the best in the end.</p>

<p>quoted from Chancellor_Phoenix on Harvard’s board:
“Remember this always: Individuals determine destinies, not institutions.”</p>

<p>Also I a new post should be in order because the title should contain our class and to start fresh.</p>

<p>I basically took Reeze’s info and modified it and added the traditional format. REMEMBER DELETE ALL THE SPACES between the BRACKETS in order for the format to work.</p>
