<p>I thought you guys might get a kick out of this. I received a letter in the mail from a local biotech company that visited my campus (I am a lab tech here) informing me that I do not meet the minimum requirements to apply to work at their company. They pre-rejected me!!! I never expressed interest in working for them but apparently that is off the table anyway. I don't even know why they would have thought that I was interested as I only attended a departmental seminar in which their founder discussed the science behind the core technology. Has this ever happened to anyone else?</p>
<p>No, but I have heard of people getting rejection letters from grad schools they never applied to :)</p>
<p>crazy, what's up with that? ditto the grad school. under what circumstances would they have your name? are they saving you the ap fee?</p>
<p>When you get pre-rejected, I think that's the point where you send them the rejection rejection letter: Dear so-and-so, I regret to inform you that I will not be accepting your rejection...</p>

<p>Ha! Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George had to continue dating a girl he didn't like because she rejected his dumping of her.</p>
<p>I called up the company to inquire about my pre-rejection letter. The HR person said that they screened the list of names who showed up to the talk against a list of enrolled students and offered invitations to apply to people showing up on both lists. People who attended the talk but aren't enrolled in a specific program, weren't invited to apply. And they felt the need to contact them to let them know. I suppose I shouldn't take this too personally but...wow.</p>
