<p>classic! But how to you decline properly?</p>
<p>I am thinking of sending a letter similar to that to two colleges I got rejected from. Now I am going to assume your name isn't J. R. Red Texas, but did you sign it as that? And why did you?</p>
<p>You are brilliantly hilarious, so I love you, and I've sent this to Northwestern. :)</p>
<p>nah, I signed it with my real, full name that I had put on the application so they could figure out who it was if they wanted to with "Red Texas" afterwards in quotes, just for the hell of it, it's a surname that I use to sign similar documents : ) I'll let you all know as soon as I hear back from them, or if enough time passes and I don't. And to the people that say they're sending this to other places, you are all badasses, seriously, that completely makes my day/week/month. peacenlove</p>
<p>Duke may rethink and accept you for being very unique with your boldness :-) Then you could rescind YOUR OWN acceptance! Now thats Double Newsworthy!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this is not new, so I'm not sure any school will take much notice. Someone must have written about the "rejection of a rejection" in a book or online because these letters pop up every year or so.</p>
<p>Hilarious, and who doesn't need a good laugh this time of year? I'm sure the admissions folks have a file of these kinds of letters, and have a good laugh over them, too. </p>
<p>You must post if you get a response.</p>
<p>Well, I didn't really think the idea was new, though I do maintain that in my personal situation I came up with myself it rather than reading it somewhere, nor did I think that I was going to get my decision changed, it was just kind of a final stress reliever for us students, lol, possibly for the admissions office too since I'm sure they get similar letters each year filled with hate and invective, but whateve, it's all good. peacenlove everyone, I'm not sure about you all, but it's spring break time here!</p>
<p>That was the greatest post/thread I've read yet.</p>
<p>"I reject your rejection." Brilliant.</p>
<p>duke is awesome though. why do you have to mock them :(</p>
<p>hilarious haha</p>
