<p>Why is that horrible? Isn’t it a better message that “we were choosing from tons and tons of qualified people and the fact that we didn’t choose you doesn’t in any way imply that you weren’t qualified” - as opposed to “we only selected those who were qualified, and you didn’t make the cut”? For the life of me, I cannot possibly see what is “objectionable” about indicating that there are tons and tons of qualified applicants and not all will get in since there isn’t enough room.</p>
