The rejection oscar

OMG, that Reed piece was the funniest thing I ever read on CC. The reverse rejection letter was also a scream.

I thought Yale’s rejection letter was actually pretty nice. My S didn’t even really care, he knew he would be rejected and had already sent in his acceptance to Tulane, but still, I think they were attempting to gently wrest the razors away from those who might consider a Yale rejection the final straw.

Berkeley also had a nice rejection letter. It was heartening to hear about the 4.0 gpa’s of his fellow rejectees…

BTW, SUNY Geneseo had a hilarious acceptance letter. Before they even told S he he was accepted, they were crowing in the first paragraph about being named one of Kiplingers Best Value Colleges. I thought that was really unnecessary and kind of crass.
