<p>My theatre rejection letter from Ithaca said “you have been very active in your high school”, and I’ve some professional theatre! The rejection I could have taken, as everyone has a bad audition now and then, but the fact they didn’t even read my resume? Or if they did, confused me with someone else?
Sad.</p>
<p>yay i can’t wait to hear my UC’s rejections letters.</p>
<p>Anyone got infos about Carnegie Mellon’s accept/reject letters?</p>
<p>Is it true that Georgetown is only sending their EA notifications through mail? Because, being in Oregon, it will probably take a few extra days (although it will seem like a few extra decades).</p>
<p>I think this is the rejection letter I would like to get.</p>
<p>Dear First Name,</p>
<p>It is with regret that I must inform you that we were unable to accept your application for the class of 20__ at XYZ University. I only wish that I could be there in person, not only to reassure you that you were quite a valid candidate, but also to tell you that our decision is not an accurate judge of you as a person, or on how you spent your high school years. I know that you would have been as successful here as you will be elsewhere, and I can only hope that you go on to achieve the same accomplishments you would have, even though they cannot be made at XYZ University.</p>
<p>Our admissions committee is known for making mistakes in the decisions we must send out this time of year, and I wish that there were some way we could remedy them in the future. If you truly feel that you only belong at XYZ University, then I encourage you to apply as a transfer next year, and we will give your application the utmost consideration. I will hope that we can reverse the decision we made this year.</p>
<p>I also must ask that you do not compare yourself to the other applicants to XYZ University; rest assured that that would be impossible, considering how different each applicant was, including yourself. We especially appreciated that (insert something personal about application). However, it is more important that you compare yourself to who you used to be, rather than who everyone else is. It is in this way that you will see how much you truly developed, and I hope that in time you can look back on how you felt after receiving this letter and realize that you knew all along that you would be capable of impressive feats no matter where you chose to matriculate, even if you would have at the time preferred to have come here.</p>
<p>Every year at this time, it is heart-wrenching to watch as the thousands of footprints of students we could not find a place for disappear from the walkways of this campus, but it is also with some joy that we know they will soon tread happily at another campus. And with this, I would like to say that if you do truly belong here, then there is no doubt in my mind that you will end up here, whether as a transfer, as a graduate student, or as a staff member.</p>
<p>Deepest Regards,
Mr. Dean of Admissions</p>
<p>ive only got 1 acceptance letter from iowa state and that was pretty, just a letter saying congradulations. i have atleast 1 more acceptance letters coming, hopefully 3 though. maybe those will be a little more colorful haha.</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard, Georgetown is only by mail.</p>
<p>gergewtown=old school :)</p>
<p>From Hanover College in Indiana, I got a letter and a heavy paper certificate. I laughed at the certificate, considering I did apply as a joke. It just seemed like overkill.</p>
<p>Knox’s acceptance letter comes in a purple folder, with the letter of admission in one side and a certificate for the academic scholarship I got in the other side… but better than that was a lovely phone call from the admissions counselor a few days later, saying congratulations. He was very friendly, and also seemed to feel really bad that I sounded so sick on the phone, which was nice, as I was feeling awful.</p>
<p>Congrats, Russiasaurus! Ya nadeyus shto vi stali chustvivatye sebya lutsheye.</p>
<p>Anyone have any random idea about what Pomona does? I think you get sent a shirt, but I’m not sure about everything else.</p>
<p>Anyone have any idea what an Emory rejection letter looks like?</p>
<p>"A friend of mine applied to Emory, and the rejection letter basically said you suck.</p>
<p>Wow."</p>
<p>“I got into Emory University last year, but I decided to go elsewhere. Well, about June or so I got the rudest, bitterest letter from them. The whole effect of the letter was “you’re not rejecting us, we’re rejecting you.” They said something like “Because you failed to submit your deposit on time, we are revoking your offer of admission.” I had heard that they were very defensive about being a safety for ivy-bound students, and I guess it is true. They never sent a card or anything to say that I wasn’t going to attend, so I assumed they just got the message when I didn’t send in a check.”</p>
<p>No, but judging from the past comments, it’s probably not too jolly.</p>
<p>For Pomona:</p>
<p>“Whoever that was asking about Pomona and Claremont schools…Pomona’s acceptance (EDII) comes in a big envelope and starts with “Warmest Congratulations” and that’s underlined in pen and actually signed by the dean of admissions. They send you a window decal when they get your deposit. And like a magazine and a calendar or something…”</p>
<p>“pomona had a two page acceptance letter!!!
mine also had a nice little note added to it.”</p>
<p><em>Sigh</em> Well I guess I shall just have to be patient and risk the fact that I may never see that acceptance package. Tut tut.</p>
<p>School of Bottle cap building had the best rejection on the bottom of a cap.</p>
<p>sorry, you haven’t won this time…</p>
<p>oh yeah that was a soda competition…lol</p>
<p>i cant wait to readt nyu rejection letter…</p>
<p>My first two kids lived in the snail mail days although they did have passwords for a few schools and found out on the internet – but no e-mails from schools then. What I am wondering about is the subject title of admission decision e-mails. I would assume that the admits might say Congratulations in the subject title but what do the non-admits say – “prepare yourself” or “sorry but…” It just seems so odd to me.</p>
<p>Catsushi- I applied to Emory and I was wondering if you know what the rejection letter looks like. If you could post it that would be great, thanks</p>
<p>I guess I’ll be waiting for SNAIL MAIL, instead of regular online decisions. Gah, that makes it even worse for my nerves. xD</p>
<p>When I was at Stanford, another undergrad hand-delivered his application to the law school, and received his rejection letter in the mail the very same day. (The post office at Stanford is next door to the law school.)</p>
<p>I would rate that as the worst rejection letter, although I have no idea what it said.</p>
<p>Just reading through this thread makes me deliciously excited =9</p>
