What does a Rejection Letter Look Like?

man, these letters are so naive. I mean, what ever happened to:

Dear MIT Applicant,

Obviously applications processes are difficult. So in order to make fair the processes, we, the Admissions committee has decided to take a couple a shots. Well we’ve ended up taking about one shot after another, and it just ended up to drunk at a streaking party. Infact, whatever applications were left on our desk the next morning we accepted. So the next time you try to make an application stand out, don’t. Instead, take a couple of shots…and a couple more…and more…

Oh yeh, what were we talking about?

–Imagine this on a letter. I mean, if those generic “sorry it’s a difficult task to reject although you’re pretty good” letters have to suffice, and if that’s the best MIT, Harvard, Princeton and all those other schools have got, then this is one sad sad world…
