<p>HOLY EFF LOOK AT THE URL https:// (there’s an ‘s’… cant be real)
and yea thats ok… they dont know your name and if they ask dont give it</p>
<p>ahhhhhhh
let’s just wait,.</p>
<p>Did someone find a way to trace our accounts to our names and just post deferral/rejection letters?</p>
<p>The S is for secure site</p>
<p>______ can u post ur stats?</p>
<p>Should i call upenn and tell them there has been a hack *** is goin on guys this is the first time ive typed in all caps on cc i cant believe this</p>
<p>I either went to the site they sent in the email or to pennportal (and I think it was pennportal, this was by complete chance/luck) and it redirected me there saying their security certificate was invalid so I accepted it and it showed me my letter.</p>
<p>idk maybe
i called them and they knew about it
and then i went to recheck it and the site was taken down
maybe they got rid of it</p>
<p>_____ occasional silence and such REALLY makes me believe this wasn’t legit. All my computers warnings against the certificate said that that site was mimicking UPenn’s admissions pages’ certificate. I don’t know for sure if UPenn’s admissions office didn’t certify this webpage only 23 hours before hundreds of people sign in, along with the fact that this is an admissions office for an IVY LEAGUE school, but it seems far more plausible that this is a ruse by someone, either to obtain your personal information or just to be a general *******.</p>
<p>i’m starin at my comp screen…i don’t know what to think!!!</p>
<p>everyone on this board should just hold hands and pray…well, figuratively?</p>
<p>Get username/password –>into PennPortal–>snatch first name–>post on rewritten admissions page? Completely plausible but is it probable? On an Ivy website? </p>
<p>What did everybody’s letter say?</p>
<p>ok they guy asked for my name i said i’m not comfortable giving it – he said that the only decisions that are official are the ones tomorrow.</p>
<p>i told him someone posted a link on cc and everything. oh god guys – im so sad.</p>
<p>catalina- they know about it??? what does that mean?</p>
<p>prophet- after u told them that someone on CC posted a link. what did they say?</p>
<p>tomorrrow’s the legit ones…but the ones ppl are seein right NOW, are they just as legit?</p>
<p>i dont know
but its down now for me at least and they said it was not true
im just scared that it has my pennportal info now</p>
<p>should i have told them my name – god they’ll track my cell now and now it was me who called. **** you man i swear to god if you hacked i will end you.</p>
<p>Dear the prophet,</p>
<p>I am sorry to notify you that after reviewing your application thoroughly, our selection committee is unable to offer you admission to the University of Pennsylvania’s Class of 2013. All aspects of your application, the academic and the non-academic, were considered carefully and compared to those of the rest of the applicant pool.
Perhaps the most difficult part of my job is writing similar letters to thousands of students, whose accomplishments are promising and exciting. I realize that Penn was your first choice school and it might be particularly difficult for you to learn of this decision at this time. I assure you that the selection committee gave your application every consideration, but, because of an unprecedented number of outstanding applicants we have to deny admission to a large majority of the remarkable students who seek admission to Penn. Most of our applicants are qualified to pursue successfully a program of study at Penn; however, only a relatively small percentage can be admitted.
We are pleased to have received your application. I am sincerely sorry to disappoint you, yet trust that you will have other opportunities to attend another very good college. I wish you the best in the future.
Sincerely,</p>
<p>Eric J. Furda
Dean of Admissions</p>
<p>Hmm - I got a different letter, the prophet. Mine looks like a waitlist letter…</p>
<p>it has to be a fake. the numbers were not unprecedented – applications went down.</p>
<p>they wont track you down or anything lol dont worry but now that they know about CC… they will track ____ and try to find ot who he is maybe…
hint for CC adcom… his name is Shawn lol (in his first post he originally forgot to remove it :P)… sneaky eh?</p>
<p>and maybe he had access to the letters from previous years?
and copied them?</p>
