Yes, they do. It will be in the admission letter in the application system (not in the email, which is generic).

Had the same problem a month back.
had to reset my pw and got an email with a link to confirm the pw reset.
the wierd thing was that the email seems to refer to a different user name (letters & numbers instead the user name i used to create the account).
eventually i did not reset the pw but rather used the username in the email and loged in with my original pw...

hope this helps.

Thanks Gti. It did help, though I was able to re-login only with my new username (mix of letters and numbers).
All the best!

Why is there no collective anxiety/excitement going on here? The decision is one business day away. All the other school threads turn into a crazy frenzy I thought. Well I am excited to hear how Monday turns out and am eager to see which GC'ers get in.

A R1 admit here.

Tepper has followed up us very well. The school should SERIOUSLY consider promoting its tight-knit community a bit more. For example, in Japan R1 admits are invited for alum receptions. On the admitted students' facebook (exactly 150 have registered by today), I can see that these invitations have been sent not only to admits in Japan but also to U.S. admits, as similar receptions are held in various U.S. locations (Chicago, NYC etc.)

The reception in Japan is on March 10th, will update you guys afterwards.

Right after the admission, I was also contacted by the current Japanese students at Tepper. They offered me opportunities to further learn about the program.

I have received great insider perspectives that I had not been able to find anywhere else. I translated these into English, to share them with interested Clubbers as well (with my correspondent's approval).

These responses are detailed, so I attach them as a word document. Hope you find it useful.

I'm sure you have larger concerns at the moment, but eventually it would be nice to know that you, and other Tepper admits that were at the reception just yesterday, are OK. Very disturbing to watch the news from there today, and read the emails that I have been getting from many colleagues in Japan.

cmv,

Thank you for your warm thoughts. Sorry my update comes here with a delay.

Everyone on the Japan Trek Team is fine. The first quake hit on in the afternoon of the following day from the reception. The Trek Team was visiting local firms in Tokyo etc., when the quake happened. Fortunately, the team was in Tokyo, minimizing possibilities for immediate dangers, as the quakes affected most seriously northern part of the country (actual quakes) & coastline locations (tsunamis).

The networks were down for a longtime afterwards, but I was eventually able to reach the team after 21pm local time.

Again, thanks for your warm thoughts.
