Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>I just got an email from <a href="mailto:admission@upenn.edu">admission@upenn.edu</a> saying very bluntly that I got rejected... I kinda expected a more flowery way of saying it than </p>

<p>"We regret to inform you that after reviewing your application, your request to attend the University of Pennsylvania has been denied."</p>

<p>its a random email, no fancy text just arial size 12. Did anyone get this? I thought you had to log in to get the decision, like i did ED.</p>

<p>Anyone know what the hel| is going on? What happend to 3-31 at 5pm</p>

<p>seriously???????</p>

<p>are you kidding?</p>

3

<p>wow..</p>

<p>u should probably email them back and ask if its legit.</p>

4

<p>lol, someone is prolly playin a prank or something...i dont think it's legit</p>

5

<p>Looks weird. If you check the entire email header details, does it really come from a Penn server?</p>

6

<p>yeah check header details . i can send you lots of emails from penns email address with whatever i wish to write (there is a software). If it is really from Penns server then mail them back, if not then someone is playing a prank.</p>

7

<p>post the header here and we can trace the details for you to see if they're legit</p>

<p>Penn does not usually send decisions via email. I think it is a prank.</p>

9

<p>Yeah, maybe someone spoofed it?</p>

<p>Post the text for us. :0</p>

<p>It must be a prank since none of you guys got any emails. Must be one of my buddies who secretly envy me ;)</p>

<p>Here's what I got, including the mailing address (fyi im on gmail) the "mailed by" heading may be a tip off</p>

<p>from <a href="mailto:admission@upenn.edu">admission@upenn.edu</a>

<hr>

<p>The text is in a really ghetto blue box, with no logos or anything. Must be a prank. Sorry for giving all of you a heart attack :o</p>

<p>But if any of you technologically savvy folks have ideas, I'd appreciate them!</p>

<p>ahahah i'm pretty sure that is a fake. </p>
