A Letter scared the crap out of me

OK

I just got an 'mail' from Penn and I really thought this was a decision leter, even though I knew the decision is available online on March 29th
As I opened a mail,

first sentence is : "I am please to acknowledge.. " SO IM GOIN CRAZY
but its just the notification of my User ID and pass code for admissions decision online........... ........

wow Im so nervous.. even though I dont think I will get in but..
Only God knows.. good luck everyone...

ya I got that letter today too. Before i opened it i kept repeated to myself "this is not the decision letter...this is not the decision letter...this is not the decision letter"
But the choice of words in the letter did kinda make my heart race a little...

17 days...

Luckily I didn't start reading from the top so I saw that it included my username and password. The only interesting thing it says is the date the decisions will be posted

Trust me, you'll be sitting in front of the computer for your decisions and will be freaking out. I know I did! When I found out I was accepted I screamed so loudly, it wasn't even funny.

i'm more scared of seeing the word rejected online than in a letter. i don't know how penn works, but the schools i apply to early action just had one word decisions like ACCEPTED a rejection letter makes it seem nicer than just the word. okay this post is really me just rambling and making no sense...
