I checked the online status of my UPenn application today and two completely random recommenders had appeared together with the names of my professors. These two recommenders had big check marks next to their names alongside the word SUBMITTED. Curious. I did a Google search for these professors and found that they teach English.
Curiouser and curioser.
Anyway, I emailed the graduate admissions person-in-charge and she clarified that -- shock, horror and coincidence -- two people with my name are applying to UPenn grad school this year. What are the odds?
Read into that what you will.
