<p>The second paragraph is dumb, and I haven't quite figured out the wording on the first, but just gimme initial comments. I think it's a good start.</p>
<p>Dear Harvard,</p>
<pre><code>Last night in my inbox, I was surprised to find a standard issue rejection letter waiting for me. I was shocked at first, and thought it must have been some type of mistake. I was so disheartened to realize that such a well-respected school such as Harvard University could make such a mistake, that I am writing this e-mail to notify you of your error. Please rectify the situation and I may still consider attending your supposed prestigious university. (i want to add more stuff here. don't know what though. ideas?)
If you havent already noticed, this letter is a joke. Although I may joke around about my rejection, I truly am sorry for your school that you have decided to pass up on my wonderful offer. Perhaps we shall meet again in 4 years, Harvard. Until then, Princeton will always be the true number 1 school in my eyes.
<p>Doesn't that come off as a bit immature and arrogant? I wouldn't send it if I were you; I'm sure the adcoms have enough things to deal with already without your making them feel bad. That's not very nice, you know? And if the competition is more qualified than you are, that's hardly their fault. (Let us both hope that it is not, but at least in my case I suspect they'll reject me.)</p>
<p>I saw something funny in a similar vein last year... we have a board at our school called the "I didn't want to go there anyway" board, where everyone pins up all their rejection letters. Anyway, someone posted the following letter, or something similar (her name has been changed):</p>
<p>We have completed our college decision review process, and the comittee is sorry to inform you that we are unable to accept your rejection of admission. The rejection pool was exceptionally competitive, and with so many qualified schools submitting rejections, it is not possible to accept them all.</p>
<p>We realize you may be disappointed to hear this news. We are sure you will have many high-caliber rejections to choose from, and wish you the best of luck in the coming years. See you in the fall.</p>
<p>I would absolutely...absolutely...absoultely NOT send that e-mail. Getting rejected with honor is one thing...but if you send that...you can forget about a transfer to Harvard or even grad school...</p>
<p>Just save your frustration for a punching bag.</p>
<p>y be fustrated?...but if u r..challenge that fustrate towards college and kick ass and prove to harvard they made a mistake....become something sweeeeeet</p>
<p>i also think school is a whole match thing..if it doesnt match u..u wont get in..even if ur qualified.i dont know..but it doesnt matter...its not the end of the world</p>
<p>I got accepted to Cal, so everything's cool with me. Harvard did reject my good friend though, and I think I will be sending them a letter on his regard. Maybe. Although my friend is perfectly happy with Cal, too.</p>
<p>If you send that, then kiss your chances of EVER going to Harvard good bye. They read it, don’t feel sorry for you, and throw it into the trash. All your efforts will be wasted.</p>
<p>Do you really think they care about a letter/email. You all need to lighten up. I’m sure it is not the first time they received a letter of such.</p>
