<p>Anyone know if this is allowed/possible? It’d be kind of nice to know whether they invoke the Muses, or Cthulhu, or Chuck Norris to see whether a student gets in or not.</p>
<p>I’d do this one year just out of curiosity then never step foot into the admissions office ever again.</p>
<p>actually, they throw all the applications up in the air and see where they land on the stairs. The ones closest are admitted, the ones further are waitlisted/deferred and the last ones rejected. It makes sense too; heavy paper = you write more = you care more = you should get in</p>
<p>youre not allowed to apply if you work in an admissions office. at least for current students that want to work in, say, the law school admission office, you cant apply to penn law in the future</p>
