<p>I was thinking. These colleges occasionally like to play pranks or make their letters amusing - EG the really huge YOU'RE IN! or MIT doing it on pi day and second - what are the chances that one of the Ivies have some form of April fool's prank? Not neccesarily.</p>
<p>"Congratulations!</p>
<p>April fools"</p>
<p>but something like pretending that their systems are down. </p>
<p>Unlikely I know, but it could be something for us to think about over the next week (try forget about the actual decisions :))</p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>
<p>Well, it might seem like they care about their reputation too much to do smth like that, but I don’t think the Ivies reputation can be ruined by anything…
And also, some people are way too sensitive, so, like someone has already said in another thread, a person could literally die of aneurysm because someone decided to be funny 
I only hope they don’t do that to me :D</p>
<p>It would be acceptable the other way around…</p>
<p>"Dear TheYankInLondon,</p>
<p>there were may talented applicants this year and sadly we are unable to accept so many qualified applicants… blah blah blah … However we have decided to admit you to the Harvard Class of 2014!</p>
<p>Yeah, thats what I mean. Nothing blatant, merely an implied fool?</p>
<p>They wouldn’t do that because this is what the adcoms do for a living do turn it into a joke would be a bit insulting to them as the group of people who in essence are one of the most important parts of the university… It’s still a funny hypothetical though…</p>
