<p>What are they? Do we have a choice between certain ones?</p>
<p>I could find out for you, orrrrr you could take one second to look at the application yourself.</p>
<p>I think if you're interested in a school, the LEAST you can do is look up what the application entails yourself.</p>
<p>I'll give you a hint: <a href="http://www.upenn.edu%5B/url%5D">www.upenn.edu</a></p>
<p>I didn't know the application was up on the website... the last time I checked, it said "Check back later" or something. My bad. </p>
<p>Muppet: thanks for your "kind" reply, but I don't care for your attitude
skier: same to you, smartass</p>
<p>then you may not want to go to Penn. We're pretty much all like this. If we were smart, boring and polite we'd be at Hahvahd.</p>
<p>Sorry, but it always amazes me how lazy people are, how often they ask for help doing things that any person who would get in to Penn should be able to figure out on their own. I'm sorry, but I happen to hold people to the same standard I hold myself... Growing up, if I asked my father how to spell a word, he would reply "D-i-c-t-i-o-n-a-r-y." I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the school, but I'm not doing your work for you.</p>
<p>And further, if the application wasn't available, why would you expect any of us know what the essays were?</p>
<p>"And further, if the application wasn't available, how the hell would any of us know what the essays were?" </p>
<p>Sometimes they send applications early to people in the mail. I didn't request one through the mail, and thought maybe some of the people on the forums had. </p>
<p>Also, I'm curious as to why you think I'm lazy - I stated that I had checked the website recently for the application. I'm not sure how that would constitute me as being lazy.</p>
<p>Would it really have been too difficult for you to respond with something like "the application is up on the website now, so you can see the essays there"? </p>
<p>But, since you said sorry, I'll forgive your rudeness.</p>
<p>P.S. Not all Penn students are rude jackasses, I know several students there that would not act the way you have. Thanks.</p>
<p>tweeek, lighten up a bit, it could do ya some good.</p>
<p>Plus, I'm pretty sure the essays don't really change much from year to year, which you would've known from a little reading on the board. Also, I don't know how recently you checked, but I think the essays have been up since early August.</p>
<p>I'll accept your apology for calling me a rude jackass. It appears I forgot the :) on my first post, which may be why you misinterpreted my charming wit and sarcasm. </p>
<p>I like to think of it as refreshingly frank, not rude. I think of it this way- they say: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything," but the Golden Rule is still "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you..." and I certainly appreciate you letting me know I am a rude jackass, just as I'm sure you appreciate me letting you know when you're being lazy (and yeah, the essays have been online since at least the beginning of August)</p>
<p>ETA- on the other hand, you are less annoying than the people who post "chances" threads as if us lovely college & HS students have <em>any</em> real idea what the hell their chances of being accepted are.</p>
<p>Sure I'll lighten up now... I've let off some steam. Sorry for yelling, but I got the feeling you guys were saying I was lazy and/or stupid, which offended me. </p>
<p>Muppet: I don't have school in the morning... not for another two weeks. </p>
<p>And yeah, I am cranky, it's 2:18 AM...</p>
<p>Talk to you guys later! We all happy now? :D</p>
<p>EDIT: OMG MUPPET IF YOU HAD PUT ":)" THIS WHOLE CONFRONTATION WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED! Don't forget it next time. :)</p>
<p>damn tweeek good luck in life if you get so easily offended. But ya it is 2:20 AM and I got practice soon...</p>
<p>Haha, I'm very sensitive... so I need to see the :) to make sure my feelings don't get hurt!</p>
<p>Skier, what do you have practice for?</p>
<p>with a name like tweeeek, you'd have to be a bit uptight.</p>
<p>(sorry, forgot an e)</p>
<p>And with that, I'm going to bed. I have to leave for work by 8:30.</p>
<p>Not sure if you know, but Tweek is a pretty funny character from South Park...</p>
<p>And in my humble opinion, South Park > Muppets</p>
<p>I know who tweek is. that was my point. I like South Park</p>
<p>However, you are a young, naiive fool if you truly believe South Park is half as clever as anything the muppets did.</p>
<p>Wow.... a "thread" about clever cartoon characters.
Tweek,
Can't you take a lil sarcasm?</p>
