<p>They could have an "Accepted" stamp, a "Rejected" stamp, and a "HAHAHAHAHA, you must be kidding." stamp.</p>
<p>or just picture of them pointing and laughing at your app</p>
<p>"If you could only row crew.....maybe then...."</p>
<p>lol... ANYONE can row crew. And everyone should ;)</p>
<p>How do we put this? </p>
<p>Rock paper scissors...you lose</p>
<p>They feel so bad, they voluntarily refund your application fee.</p>
<p>in the UCAS form it says UNSUCCESSFUL</p>
<p>We're sorry, but when we tossed up all of the applications in the air, yours landed on the wrong side, so we will be unable to offer you admission at this time.</p>
<p>after throwing all the darts at the wall, the balloon with your name in it didn't pop!!</p>
<p>How bout, "We like you, but not enough to accept you."</p>
<p>"How do we put this?
Rock paper scissors...you lose"</p>
<p>and</p>

<p>Dear applicant:
After a careful review of your application the admissions committee ... HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HO HO HO HO HO HO OHHHH AHHHH....oh, excuse me.. you can guess the rest. :(</p>
<p>on second thought... if they send congratulations on your acceptance shouldn't they send "condolences on your nonacceptance" ???</p>
<p>Why does a rejection letter have to be bad? I know you're all tired of saccharine rejection letters, but this one, I think, is okay.</p>

Dear Mr. Doe,</p>
<p>I am delighted to inform you that the Committee on Admissions has rejected
you for the Class of 2008 under the Early Action program. Please accept my
personal congratulations for your lackluster achievements.</p>
<p>In recent years, over twenty thousand students have applied for the sixteen
hundred and fifty places in the freshman class. Faced with many more
talented and highly qualified candidates than it has room to reject, the
Admissions Committee has taken great care to not choose individuals who present ordinary academic, extracurricular and personal strengths. In making
each admission decision, the Committee keeps in mind that the excellence of
Harvard College depends most of all on the talent and promise of the people
assembled here, particularly our students. In voting to decline you
admission, the Committee has demonstrated its firm belief that you can make
important contributions during your college years and beyond, but at another college.</p>
<p>By early March, you will not receive an invitation to visit Harvard from
Saturday, April 24 until Monday, April 26. Our faculty and students have not
arranged a special welcome for you and we think the experience will not be
interesting and useful in making your final college choice. Of course, we
would also not be happy to have you visit at some other time and we hope you will not make a special effort to do so.</p>
<p>Especially if you cannot come to Cambridge during the next several months,
please hesitate to contact us if we can be of help in any way. You
will find our application booklet and our website
(<a href="http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/</a>) terrible sources of information
about college life and we will not be sending you a course catalog in the
spring to help familiarize you better with our academic opportunities.</p>
<p>You do not have until May 1 to respond to our offer. A complete admission packet
will not be mailed to you in early April.</p>
<p>We very much know that you will not decide to attend Harvard, and we look
forward to not having you join us in September.</p>
<p>Yours insincerely,
William R. Fitzsimmons
Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid</p>
<p>This e-mail message is sent for your convenience. A letter sent by post
will confirm the decision of the Harvard College Admissions Committee.

<p>lol!! maybe colleges should just do away with rejections!</p>
<p>yes.................for me, lol</p>
<p>try "Don't call us.. We'll call YOU." </p>
<p>***Your trying to think optimistically, while the adcom thinks to himself, "NOT!"</p>
<p>'We are at this stage disinclined to believe that you will be attending our institution. Ever.'</p>
<p>my gawd...you people....</p>
<p>"oh. we didn't realise you were an applicant until it was too late. sorry, but accidents do happen. better luck next year!"</p>
<p>"Your acceptance letter has been permanently lost by the U.S. postal service. Since we can only issue one acceptance letter per applicant you are out of luck."</p>
<p>"We haven't rejected you. We've put you on our wait list. There are currently 35,659 applicants ahead of you on the wait list and we will be taking people off the wait list in numerical order. But, don't give up hope of attending our fine institution of higher learning. You just may qualify for a senior citizen discount when we finally call your name."</p>
<p>haha lol Carolyn. I think your last one is my favorite :p</p>
