<p>assuming you got one ;)</p>
<p>I might tape it to my bedroom wall, right next to my Yale deferral and princeton waitlist letter</p>
<p>I didn’t get rejected, but I keep all the rejection letters that matter to me (eg: TASP :() To remind myself that I am not awesome and in fact suck. It’s sobering.</p>
<p>^yes, humbling</p>
<p>I made Yale mail me a copy of my rejection letter. I paid the application fee, and since I had originally applied SCEA Yale was a large part of my life for a while. It’s a memory, and it’s the least they can do.</p>
<p>ppl i didnt get my harvard decision email and i dont want to get the decision over the phone so i am waiting for the mailed thingy to come. anyways my question is what does a rejection letter look like. is it like in an envelope?? and for you hb what does an acceptance package look like?</p>
<p>^iplayforfun, I haven’t received mine yet; I’m an international. But I think there’s another thread which describes it. :)</p>
<p>If I get one next year…I’m blow it up and put in on the wall, and when I become successful and donating millions of dollars to my school, I can say “ha, wish you’d accepted me now don’t ya.” XDlol I’m kidding :), but what I will do is save it and show it to my kids, “back in the day…Harvard rejected me…”</p>
<p>^Hmm… I’m thinking of doing the same for Yale :D</p>
<p>I forgot Yale doesn’t send out rejection letters anymore… </p>
<p>I always try to keep all of my rejection letters too. The problem is, I usually purposely store them in some place so that I don’t lose them, but then somehow I never remember where I purposely store them :/</p>
<p>I read it and threw it in the trash.</p>
<p>@xrCalico23: I asked Yale to mail me mine. It’s the least they can do.</p>
<p>^it’s so insulting that we have to REQUEST them to mail it to us
feels like we’re groveling. yeah thanks for making us lose the last bit of pride we had</p>
<p>I should probably be asking this in the WL thread, but do you guys know if WLs get letters from Yale? Or Harvard, since those guys do the same things a lot and since I’m on this subforum. Yale makes us reply online, so I think not.</p>
<p>I’m going to make a bonfire with my rejection letters.</p>
<p>Harvard mails everything - rejection, acceptance and waitlist.
But most schools mail neither rejection nor waitlist (I know Duke and Amherst don’t, so Im guessing Yale won’t either). I believe the logic is for acceptance, you actually need the rest of that info, and for rejection, it’s just a statement with no need to respond to it, but for waitlist you can fill out the waitlist card online, so theres no point mailing it as well.</p>
<p>In terms of what I will be doing with my rejection letter, I will be pinning up on the bulletin board I am buying for my future dorm, with the “big envelope” I received when I got a Harvard app in the mail, so I will be inspired to work harder to transfer to Harvard next fall.</p>
<p>I ripped it up and thought about flushing it but didn’t want to clog the toilet. I’ll toss it in the nearest dumpster I come across. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yep in an envelope, no clues on the outside.
Typical harvard letter look…
Says Dear Ms. [last name]
I am very sorry,</p>
<p>And you could stop reading there. Says something about record number of applicants. Other stuff to make you feel better.</p>
<p>thanks omgseriously so is the typical harvard letter include a simple envelope with the harvard sign thingy on it?</p>
<p>I still have one of mine, with a footprint on it from when I stepped on it. :)</p>
<p>I kept it on the wall right above my desk at Harvard as a reminder to keep pursuing the things I want.</p>
<p>^I’m almost the same as Hanna and Jokesbg779.</p>
<p>I’m going to frame mine and place it on the wall as a way of motivating myself to work harder.</p>
<p>In a way, it’s Harvard’s test. They want to see what your tolerance for failure is. Do you go home or go hard. And for me, I’m going way harder.</p>
<p>Cambridge 2014 or bust!</p>
