Congratulations! And good luck with your upcoming decision (hoping, of course, that you’ll end up at Penn ).

And having just quickly skimmed my previous posts in this thread, I don’t think I ever addressed your original question about Kelly Writers House. It’s an extraordinary resource, really without parallel at comparable schools, with events and guest speakers virtually every day and/or night of the year, and a tight-knit community of writers with diverse interests. If you haven’t already done so, be sure to thoroughly explore the KWH web site:
