Remember the good old days when you got your acceptance letter from Penn in the mail?

Well this week, some select students received a video about their "likely" acceptance to Penn.

Find out about what this "likely acceptance" is all about ...and watch the video after the jump!

Apparently, this past week some "Penn-hopeful" high school students have had the luck of the Irish, while others, well, ...not so much.

Over the past week, I've been seeing lots of "got into Penn!" and "damn you Penn!" type tweets in my Twitter feed.

It's one thing when you're accepted into Penn (click HERE to see a 2012 acceptance letter being opened, as well as my own acceptance letter).

But it's a whole ball of wax when you're not accepted, yet put on the "waiting list". Check out this great video below to see what I'm talking about...

While this video was probably taken sometime last April, it still holds up. I wonder if this kid ever got taken off the wait list. Anybody?

One of my reasons above

After I posted my Now and Then Thursdays: Accepted at Penn article, I got the following email from high school senior Carissa Clark:

"Hi again - so I was just watching the video you posted and saw underneath that you were accepted into both Cornell and Penn. I have the same dilemma. I'm almost positive I will be attending Penn. What were some of the things that shaped your decision?"

So what shaped my decision?

This week Steven Vaughn-Lewis (C'12) just got his acceptance letter into Penn and he filmed it!

The "envelope opening" video above reminds me of when I got my acceptance letter back in 1992 (see my actual letter below and be sure to zoom in).

I remember getting my acceptance letter for both Penn and Cornell in the same day. I was so excited, and such a dork, that I remember wearing a Penn sweatshirt the next day to high school with my Cornell sweatpants. While I was proud of these acceptances, I cringe at how I decided to showcase this to the world.

Of course it was that day when I officially adhered my "University of Pennsylvania" sticker to my car's windshield. (...Come on, we all did this didn't we? :) Comment below!)
