What did YOU do with your Harvard rejection letter?

<p>Tore it up and threw it in the bin. Thanks for spoiling my good mood after being accepted at Yale and Dartmouth… Just kidding. It reminds me that I’m far from perfect. I’ll try to prove myself worthy of any university after my undergrad years!</p>

<p>Agree with all above posters, I requested reject letters from Yale and Dartmouth. I kept all of my admit/wl/reject letters but I burned all my Princeton (#1 school by far) stuff like mailings, admissions brochures. I can still have a soft spot for Harvard for transfer and business school but my relationship with Princeton is over. Too bad.</p>

its very interesting to see that the number of people getting 600 is less than that of people getting 2400 XD,
lol, getting every single one wrong and not even omit is pretty hard !!hahahaha</p>

<p>I’m going to try to start a rejection letter wall in my English classroom with mine.</p>

<p>lol I’m actually very excited to get my rejection letters. I know I’m going to get some- but thats ok. like many of you said, its just a reminder you had the guts to do what very many don’t…
Hope y’all from the class of 2014 went to schools you love :)</p>

<p>Many years ago ,my friend framed his and hung it in the bathroom . We also framed my D’s acceptance letter and hung it in our living room . On our acceptance letter ,there is a personal handwritten note as well .</p>

<p>There are rejections and then there are rejections–many years ago when I was applicant, I applied to Amherst as well as the Ivies–well, to make a long story shorter, I got rejected–but the letter was wonderful-the dean spoke about the imperfection of the admissions process and that he was sure that each year they had made mistakes, and that I should go on and show that they had done so in my case.<br>
A few years later in the regional finals for a well known Fellowship, I noticed that one of the judges for my panel was this dean. At the cocktail party the night before the interviews I went up and introduced myself. I told him that I was one of the people he had rejected-- he said that my name sounded familiar. I reminded him about his letter; how I had found it to be inspirational in spite of the bad news it contained. I laughingly told him not to make the same mistake twice. After I won the Fellowship I found out that the Dean had been my biggest booster in the deliberations.<br>
It was such a great letter and it did motivate me. Unfortunately, I have never heard of another admissions committee writing anything nearly as thoughtful again. Too bad.</p>

<p>I would send it back hahah</p>

<p>It shall be framed and shall go to college with me(if any college does want me, that is)</p>

<p>See: [Rejection:</a> How Colleges Do It - WSJ.com](<a href=“Rejection: Some Colleges Do It Better Than Others - WSJ”>Rejection: Some Colleges Do It Better Than Others - WSJ)</p>

<p>O wait. Why would I even apply to Harvard? It’s overrated. And why would I even care about the letter after the decision? Everyone puts Harvard and such a high pedestal that they frame their rejections, that’s messed up.</p>

<p>I will save it and send it back to Harvard with a copy of my tax returns and donations to my alma mater when I am successful.</p>
