just wondering

<p>so what does the acceptance letter look like?</p>

<p>Dear ______,</p>

<p>It is an honor to inform you of the Admissions Committee's decision to offer you a place in the California Institute of Technology's Class of 2013.</p>

<p>The staff, faculty and students on the Admissions Committee see in you, not only an accomplished student, but also a person with the passion and creativity to pursue study in mathematics, science and engineering at the highest level. You have an opportunity to take your place amongst a community of scholars with an extraordinary record of accomplishment and a shared commitment to become leaders in the scientific community. We know you have many choices. It is our sincere hope that you will choose to pursue your education at Caltech. </p>

<p>With your admission to Caltech, your thoughts may turn to attending college. Please note, however, that your admission is contingent on the continuation of your strong academic and personal record.</p>

<p>On behalf of the Caltech community, I extend our warmest congratulations. We hope to welcome you to campus in the fall. </p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Richard W. Bischoff
Director of Admissions</p>

<p>There's also a handwritten note on the bottom with something related to your application like "good job on _<strong><em>" or "your _</em></strong> was really impressive" or a response to one of your essays.</p>

<p>Anyone else feel the handwritten note was a bit arbitrary? Mine was about community service which I'm kind of sure I didn't place all that much emphasis on in my application.</p>

<p>Mine was spot on with what I love to do. I mean it was the generic sentence with my EC stuck in but he picked the perfect one LOL. "Maybe you can start a rock band at Caltech!"</p>
