Best/Worst Admission/Rejection Letters

<p>UMD (university of michigan dearborn) definately has the best admissions package I've ever seen - there's a freaking free t-shirt.</p>

<p>Anyone else get anything awesome with their acceptance letter... or get an insanely mean rejection letter?</p>

<p>Rutgers sends a really expensive looking black folder with a gold embossed seal of the college on it, and along with a lot of written info, a fancy "Certificate of Acceptance".</p>

<p>Stanford has the worst letter of rejection. I cried for two days and cried again like three months later when I read it again.</p>

<p>On the other hand, Brown has the BEST rejection letter. I felt very comforted.</p>

<p>Colgate, hands down, has the best admissions letter because the dean of admissions writes a personal note to you.</p>

<p>:eek:
Wow, what kind of thing could Stanford possibly say that would be so devastating? I better watch out now...</p>

<p>Dartmouth has a certificate type thing (and I think it's hand-signed by the dean of admissions, though it could be an incredibly convincing copy) and a free bumper sticker. Not a T-shirt, but then again, we have a class of 2010 website already.</p>

<p>I liked Rutgers' acceptance packet too. It was a really nice folder. The certificate was a nice touch also.</p>

<p>lol @ these vivid descriptions :)</p>

<p>firewalker how was NYU's admission package?</p>

<p>Carleton had a decent wait list letter.</p>

<p>could you post the exact text of the stanford reject letter?</p>

<p>the stanford rejection letter had a misspelling of a word.</p>

<p>^ That's kinda sad..</p>

<p>yeaah. the misspelled word was director. they spelled it "dirctor."</p>

<p>All of my acceptance letters were basic with nothing personal or unique, except for one of my safety schools (there was a personal note). Cornell had the best and most informative acceptance package. </p>

<p>Yale's rejection letter was the worst - short and cold. Stanford's seemed average to me, but I didn't read it carefully since I had already made my decision by the time it arrived. </p>

<p>Harvard's rejection letter was the best, but the deferral letter wasn't great. On the rejection, they were nice enough to say that whether you are accepted or rejected is not necessarily a true indicator of your future success/potential.</p>

<p>and duke > harvard...woot go blue devils!</p>

<p>Bard's acceptance letter was AMAZING.
Vanderbilt's was also very nice, for the Blair School.
Yale's deferral letter was lengthy-- as if compensating for the disappointment. The rejection letter four months later was of course much worse.</p>

<p>Penn's rejection letter sucked, but Brown's was rather heart warming :)</p>

<p>Waht did Brown say?</p>

<p>Something on the lines of: It's not the education that counts but what you do with your life. Something alot more eloquent</p>

<p>sweet...not suprised since Brown is hippyish lol ... well ur at UVA which is awesome..congrats</p>
