The Septimus Notes

|The Proof is in the PDF.|

I was deferred from UPenn. Like I said a bit back at the Cornell scare (still waiting to actually hear from them), I fully expected to, at best, get deferred from all of my EA schools because I imagine they are going to want to see this term's grades.

UPenn told me in a response to my change of address email that they had mailed my letter on Friday. History has shown that the first batch of letters to go out from UPenn tends to be rejections and, in fact, I'm currently only one of two people listed on LSN who did not get a rejection from that first batch, the other also being a deferral. I responded that the letter might not get to me due to the inadequacies of the French postal system. And they kindly emailed me the PDF of what I was sure was a rejection.

But, nope, I've been held for further review. They said that they will need to see my Fall 2005 grades (so I should really get to sleep since I have a big final exam in 8.25hrs) and that I'm free to send additional materials should I be so inclined (a new recommendation letter, another essay, etc.). I actually would like to send them a letter from my France Afrique prof. (the one for the impending exam that I do think will be the hardest I've ever sat for), but her English is lacking and... well, she's French = there's no way I could be sure she'd get it done in time. I'll decided after the final tomorrow.

At bottom, a deferral from UPenn probably does mean good things for most of the other schools I've applied to, right?
