Everyone's letter comes with a note. Mine could have been written by only reading the last paragraph of my PS. I wouldn't read too much into it.Mike12188 wrote:Was it about your PS?

No, it wasn't about my personal statement, and yes, I realize everyone gets them. It was about a relationship of a part of my application relative to the whole that I was hoping would be noticed, and it was. It's not a big deal, but it is still neat that they appreciated it.

I know. I'm just really hoping my PS is actually "excellent". I need something to overcome the missing word in the first sentence of my Penn 5-year essaybdubs wrote:Everyone's letter comes with a note.

My note was much more generic than that and didn't use ego boosting words like excellent. I would be happy about that if I were you.Mike12188 wrote:I know.

Mail! It switches to decision at some point, but I got my letter when it was still at complete. I think some people knew through the admitted students site, but there was some weirdness with that letting people in it wasn't supposed to...silly101 wrote:did you guys receive your decision through status checker, email, or snail mail?
