<p>I've been observing that many colleges release their admissions decisions on April 1st. If you haven't noticed, that happens to be April Fools day.</p>
<p>Do any of you find it funny how they choose the dates? It makes me wonder if you can trust the decisions made on that day.</p>
<p>In fact, I think I have a new goal - to become an admissions officer at some top college just so that I can send out accepted decisions to every applicant and then say at the bottom: "April Fools!"</p>
<p>Isn't it odd? Why do colleges do that? Has it ever been leveraged to take back admissions decisions at the last minute, however absurd it may be?</p>
<p>Man, I was just telling my friend about this a week ago. Hands down the cruelest rejection letter.</p>
<p>haha just yesterday I was talking to some frrineds about this!
damn, I'd be the most evil admissions officer ever! =P</p>
<p>I was thinking the same thing last week :)</p>
<p>We've got a bunch of sadists out here! ;)</p>
<p>The <em>really</em> cruel thing to do would be to send a REJECTION letter and include "Nah, just kidding; you're in" at the bottom in tiny print.</p>
<p>This will make waitlists obsolete =D</p>
<p>^Amazing idea, lol.</p>
<p>I always wondered why they put it on April Fools' Day. For some reason, I think that'll make me feel worse if I didn't get in. Like, "haha, fate hates you," or something. :P</p>
