After reading that article I am not surprised that my daughter’s rejection letter from Harvard Med School was so nicely worded. I told her to frame it. :)



Although you may be disappointed, my personal wish for you is that you find fulfillment at another fine medical school. Perhaps we will have the opportunity to work with you in the future as a resident or fellow.

I thought that the above was a nice touch. How hard is it to be kind when writing a rejection letter? I don't understand why some schools are cold to the point of harshness.&lt;/p&gt;
