<p>So I had this idea about starting a thread that contains all my rejection/acceptance/waitlist letters from the universities.</p>

<p>This is primarily because I wanted to consolidate them in a pdf file. So I decided why not post on CC as well.
Also because I got looots of time to spare :D</p>

<p>I’m gonna start with some decisions I have received. This won't be limited just to me. Please post any of those awesome decisions you received in the previous days and I didn't. I really want to see some of those HMC, UChicago, Ivy, MIT and Caltech acceptance/rejection letters.
And please please do not post anything else or spam this with discussions . Just letters.</p>

<p>Well then …. Post away !!</p>

<p>Hello Compscifan
I saw you have been admitted to Purdue, so far I have an acceptance only from Purdue, what is your opinion on Purdue ? do you know anyone else from India who is likely to go to the class of 2015, after rejections from UCB and UCLA ;-( I am not very confident about Princeton, Cornell and Harvard so probably Purdue remains my only option ???</p>

<p>Colgate Rejection</p>

<p>March 25, 2011</p>

<p>Reject</p>

<p>Dear Reject:</p>

<p>Among the many tasks faced by the Colgate admission staff, by far the most difficult responsibility we have is to notify a student that we are unable to offer admission. We appreciate the interest you have shown in Colgate and the dedication reflected in your academic and personal record, but after careful review of our applicant pool, I am sorry to inform you of our conclusion that we cannot offer you a position in the Colgate Class of 2015.</p>

<p>The admission process this year was highly competitive. We have reviewed applications from more than 7,800 talented students for 760 places in the class. In recent years we have enjoyed an increasing level of interest from very talented students. One consequence of this stronger applicant pool is that we must disappoint many students who certainly could meet the challenge of a Colgate education and contribute to life on campus. Our decision to deny admission is very much a reflection of this competitive situation in which we do not have room to admit many fine candidates.</p>

<p>I trust that you have identified some alternate college choices that will provide the academic challenge you seek. If your interest in Colgate continues, however, you are welcome to apply for admission as a transfer student once you have completed one year of college work in the liberal arts at another institution.</p>

<p>Reject, I am sorry that the news today is not pleasant. I received notifications like this myself so I know how you feel. We remain grateful to you for choosing to apply to Colgate and respect the effort you devoted to your application and preparation for college. We also hope the remainder of your senior year will be filled with a sense of optimism and excitement as you make plans to complete high school and begin your college years. I do want you to know that the admission committee at Colgate wishes you the very best success throughout the future.</p>

<p>Sincerely,
Gary L. Ross
Vice President and Dean of Admission</p>

<p>Dear ronnghosh,</p>

<p>Congratulations! On behalf of the faculty and the Admission Committee, I am delighted to offer you admission to Bard College.</p>

<p>It was a distinct pleasure to read and discuss your application. We noted accomplishments both in and outside the classroom and the seriousness of your academic ambitions. Bard’s offer of admission is based on your intellectual curiosity, achievements, talents, and promise. We hope that you will accept our offer.</p>

<p>Beginning with the Language and Thinking Workshop in August, Bard’s academic curriculum will guide you through a series of experiences that will help you to clarify your intellectual passions and academic goals. Ultimately, the year-long Senior Project will give you the opportunity to undertake and complete a substantial body of work of your own. Bardians worldwide share an appreciation for these academic traditions and a love of learning.</p>

<p>As you may know, Bard community members come from all around the world, representing a diverse array of backgrounds. Living on this residential campus affords you the opportunity to learn from and contribute to the rich life on campus and in the region.</p>

<p>Once again, congratulations. It would be a great pleasure to welcome you to Bard.</p>
