<p>here's the letter, for posterity:</p>
<p>Dear Renee, </p>
<p>After careful consideration of your application to the University of Pennsylvania for the Class of 2009, the Admissions Selection Committee has decided to defer the final decision until the Regular Decision notification date in April. I realize that you must be disappointed by this delay, but I want to assure you that this should not be interpreted as a denial. </p>
<p>The Admissions Committee recommends this action when we wish more time and additional information before we begin the re-evaluation of your application. Because we want to give your candidacy the fullest consideration, I ask that you send us a mid-year report of your first semester grades and any additional College Board or ACT test scores that you will have taken through January 2005. </p>
<p>If you have any questions, or if this office can be of any assistance to you during the coming months, please do not hesitate to call upon us. </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Willis J. Stetson, Jr.
Dean of Admissions </p>
<p>congrats to everyone who got in! i'll have to start making friends on the Cornell, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth and G-Town boards now...i'll miss you guys! it's been great.</p>
<p>so... who got in?</p>
<p>filmy, did you get into yale?</p>
<p>i got into penn, btw.</p>
<p>blu, i hope you get in come march, dog!</p>
<p>wow...i only JUST saw this. thanks, Stoned! I'm so happy for you btw.</p>
<p>I love the people who told us good luck, from the Princeton and G-town boards...i gotta remember to do that too lol</p>
<p>lol.. what... nobody updated on this for awhile. 0.0 how'd u just "come across" this old board?</p>
<p>guess what blu, it's about the same time as last time we were posting, waiting for decisions, except we're all scattered and aren't as nerve-wracked about penn anymore (at least i'm not, cuz i think i gave it up... still gets me down a lil, tho..)</p>
<p>neway, hope u get into dartmouth/cornell. i forget which one u wanna go to the most</p>
