MarathonMan, I LOVE the letter to turn down a school that issued an acceptance! I need to borrow it to send to one of my son’s schools. We sent back the “thanks but no thanks” postcard, since then we’ve gotten 3 letters reminding us that freshman orientation is mandatory.

In a similar vein to this thread, I’ve mentioned this before but it’s relevant here. When I was in college, seniors would take the rejection letters they received after interviewing with potential employers and post them on their dorm door. It was a contest to see who could get the most rejections. My favorite was a door with a half-dozen letters, and one had big red writing in it: “Extra points for rejection on birthday!”
