<p>We regret to inform you that you have been denied admission to our university, but your application has been forwarded to the McDonalds at 6th and Main. Have a nice day :)</p>
<p>How about "pursue other opportunities?" As in "The admissions committee is pleased to inform you that you should pursue other opportunties."</p>
<p>did anyone here see in good company? this conversation reminds me of the scene where dan tells carter to tell people they're being fired instead of saying they're "let go", and carter says it sounds better ... "but to the person being fired it doesn't make a difference".</p>
<p>i can't remember the exact quote, but seriously. i'd rather be told straight out that i'm rejected than to have it dampened by a euphemism.</p>
<p>You have been pwn3d</p>
<p>wrathofgod -- excellent.</p>
<p>we're just not your Type......u deserve better!</p>
<p>We're probably too shallow to see your gifts....</p>
<p>A videoclip of admissions people pointing and laughing at your applicatioon</p>
<p>"You are the weakest link...goodbye..."</p>
<p>lol they should just give letters with a big "NO" on it instead of writing a page of foced-nice statements that only make the rejected person feel worse.</p>
<p>How about a nice big package with one piece of paper. It'll have "no" in 8 point font in the middle</p>
<p>This was a great thread, and tension reliever! And I needed a good laugh. Thanks!</p>
<p>thanks, but no thanks...lol</p>
<p>The tribe has voted...</p>
<p>Ummm, like, no</p>
<p>The day after I got deferred from Harvard EA last year, I got a free razor in the mail from Gillette (based in Boston, no less!). Maybe they should just include complimentary razors with all rejection letters. A bit of goodwill...</p>
<p>^^the razor is for extremists who use it on themselves after they've been rejected...</p>
<p>We are sorry to announce that we have forsaken/eliminated/forgotten/shunned/deserted/discarded/cast aside your application. Thanks for trying though, too bad your money went toward our fat ass paychecks. Now run along. :)</p>
<p>Makes it seem as if "rejected" isn't so bad eh? </p>
<p>ha! :cries:</p>
<p>I don't know REJECTED still sounds pretty bad, it almost sounds like a blind date gone awry</p>
