My friend unfortunately wasn’t accepted last year and sent me a picture of what the rejection letter looked like. It came in a plain white envelope and arrived at the same time other acceptances did. I just went through my messages and this is what the letter says:

Dear [name],

Thank you for applying to the University of Washington.

I am sorry to inform you that we are not able to offer you admission for Autumn Quarter 2014. We received more than 31,000 applicants for an anticipated entering class of 6,400. The selection process has been very challenging, and we are not able to offer admission to many strong applicants.

If you choose to reapply to the Seattle campus of the UW, please know that priority is given to transfer applicants from Washington community colleges with two years of transferable college credit.

I wish you the very best in your college career and great success in all your future endeavors.

Signed,
Director of Admissions

Keep in mind that letters can take a long time to arrive, and it’s not over till it’s over. Best of luck!
