<p>My favorite rejection story:</p>
<p>Years ago, a friend was rejected by a medical school. The letter said something to the effect of “good luck in another profession.” He did get into at least one other med school, a much better school, from which he graduated top of his class. (After he received all As his first semester, he wanted to send a copy of his grades to the school that rejected him!) Today, he’s top of his field, often testifying before Congress and interviewed on TV. Guess that original med school was wrong!</p>
