Hey. I was wondering if anyone else got this email.

"Thank you for your interest in our program. We are reviewing your application and need additional information. Please provide our office with an unofficial copy of your Fall 2009 grades when they are available. We are requesting a copy of your grades since official transcripts may take two to three weeks to process and we need this information as soon as it is available. Please attach a cover letter to the copy of your grades stating that submission of your grade report is made at the request of the Admissions Committee. You may fax this information to us at (215) 573-9648.

Once this information is received, the Admissions Committee will continue its review of your application. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. We look forward to hearing from you."


Does this just mean I didn't make their first cut and that they want to see my senior year grades before deciding on offering me an interview or what?

Hmmm My guess would be you are a little bit below on the gpa side of their average acceptance, so I would say its a way of putting your application on hold until they receive your grades and will make a decision probably post dec. 1st on your app. Thats my opinion based on the email and your stats. Good Luck either way, you could always call the school for clarification but you may not even get a solid answer.

yea that's what I figured.

Thanks
