Dear College, I reject your rejection

Applying to College
1

<p>This goes out to all the seniors and members of the upcoming class of 2012 as we near the end of this godawful process. I know we're all a little crazy by this time, so here's something to lighten to mood I suppose. Feel free to [insert name here] and send this off if you so desire ; ) peace and love</p>

<p>Dear Admissions Committee,</p>

<p>I am writing to regretfully inform you that I have declined your offer to decline my application for admission. Upon further reviewing my own application dozens of times and comparing it with the vast applicant pool I had access to (approximately three), I have decided that it would be in my best interest and, most importantly, [Inset megalomaniacal college's name here] University’s best interest to attend ____ University as a member of the class of 2012. I realize this is no small feat, in fact, this year I have reviewed more applications than any other year (because, until now, there were none) and even among this highly qualified pool of select high school seniors, I stood out as a talented, motivated student who would not only excel in the classroom, but would also encourage other students to achieve as well. I understand the many issues and seemingly impossible decisions you must face when trying to ascertain which students will be offered admission to ____ University, but never fear, I and students like me are here to fix your occasional mistakes and point you in the right direction. Due to the fact that, while my applicant pool was indeed unexpectedly large, yours was ever so slightly larger, I have been able to devote much more time to the applications with which I was presented and have reached an epiphany of sorts in deciding to admit myself to ____ University. I am very pleased with my decision and I know that you will be too, which is precisely why I am sharing the good news with you in the admissions office. I look forward to greeting you next fall, and sharing with you personally my own joy at having accepted myself.</p>

<p>I look forward as well to spending my next four years at ____ University. I have found it a warm, welcoming place with a unique student-teacher dynamic not found anywhere else. It is a University with a tradition unlike any other, a tradition of excellence and pride in high achievement in every field of academia. I know that I will find a happy home at ____ and will flourish while working alongside some of the best students in America, being taught by some of the most esteemed professors in their fields.</p>

<p>Enclosed, you will find my deposit of one American dollar (There’s more where that came from, baby) with which I will be reserving my spot in the class of 2012. I would also like to extend you the courtesy of notifying you that I intend to live on campus, so any housing information that you could send me would be much appreciated. Best of luck next year in your decision-making process; in fact, since I’ll be on campus attending classes, feel free to ask me if you have any questions regarding the merit of a certain applicant. I assure you, with my breadth of experience and keen insight into people’s personalities; I will be an invaluable resource to have at your disposal.</p>

<p>Sincerely and with great pride,
J. R. “Red Texas”</p>

<p>muaHAHAHAHAHAHA!</p>

<p>Please tell me you sent this to a university. Please. That would absolutely make my day. Especially if I could be there while the admissions officer/underpaid freshman reads it to see their faces. XD</p>

<p>Who knows, maybe such a compelling argument could make them rethink their decision. Or they'd think you were a cocky moron. Either way it'd make an impression.</p>

<p>Oh hell yeah I did, I sent it out with one American dollar enclosed, but honestly I tried not to sound pretentious or bent out of shape, I was just trying to be funny. I'm glad you enjoyed it : )</p>

<p>If I were a college admissions officer I would probably change my mind and want someone that creatively out there on campus. Seriously, that's a genius letter.</p>
