Hi there, I'm Dean Furda,
I am posting here for the first time to let you know the likely communication sent tonight is for real. Very excited about the likely candidates potentially joining the early decision students to the class of 2015 at Penn. We are back in committee and will continue to carefully review every application to the class. I want to thank all of you for applying to Penn and wish you the best as you continue to explore your college options.
I will be back in touch at the end of regular decision.
Eric J. Furda, Penn C'87

Dean Furda,

Thanks very much!

You should get in touch with mods/admin and become an official college rep for Penn on CC.

Dean Furda,
If I may repeat another poster's question :
Can you please tell us how many "likely" letters were sent out this year?
Thanks.

daretorun · 03-05-2011, 06:00 PM

I don't think he's permanently here, probably just came on to clarify because there's so much debate surrounding it, but it was very honorable to have done that!

Dean Furda, you're the best! Thank you for clarifying, and I cannot wait until September 1st!

Fatum · 03-05-2011, 08:47 PM

Sorry for being uninformed..but what's the confusion? :S

AsTheMoonBleeds · 03-05-2011, 09:18 PM

A lot of people were uncertain if the likely letters sent out were legit. Look at that lengthy thread to see more details, but if you didn't get one, no worries!
