Dear newly-formed Class of 2013,
As a school with such diversity1, Penn has always been a beacon for freaks and the odd sorts that no one else wants. I know because I was one of them. As different as we all may seem to be, there is one common thread between us all: we all have received2 an admissions letter from the prestigious University of Pennsylvania. This past week a new wave of filth3 has been allowed permission to clog the gutters of West Philadelphia. In the first-ever, fully-electronic reveal of Penn admissions decisions, an E-letter4 granted the whims of some and dashed the hopes of many more5. In such a whirlwind of activity, many glazed over the well-constructed stock-formatted letter and began the celebration6. Therefore, I have taken it upon myself to impart some knowledge on you, the fledgling class of 2013, in the hopes that someday, very far down the road you may become a mighty, plump chicken7.
Below is what your admissions essay may appear like to you. Underneath that is what the admissions committee is really trying to tell you.
