<p>Hi Got2BeGren,</p>
<p>Oh, that’s not my reaction. I think St. Olaf is a lovely school and wish all the Buntrock candidates the very best. It’s my KID’S reaction. Kid showed me the letter and told me why it was upsetting.</p>
<p>There was a thread a while ago about good and bad rejection letters from colleges. I don’t think it was a particularly bad letter. However, I think they could have left out the number of candidates since it was rather large and really served no purpose. (Better to let non-selected kids think it was fewer.) It just left a bad taste in my kid’s mouth and I don’t think that was the purpose of the letter.</p>
<p>Again, congratulations to the Buntrock candidates. St. Olaf seems like a great school and everyone I know who is there is quite happy.</p>
