<p>The Brown Board of Admission has completed its evaluation of more than 18,000 applications to the Class of 2010, and it is with real regret that I must inform you that your application has been denied.</p>
<p>The great majority of the young men and women who applied to Brown this year are very clearly capable of satisfactory academic performance and of making significant contributions to the college community in other ways. With nearly thirteen candidates for every available space, the Board’s task in selecting the members of the Class of 2010 has been extremely difficult.</p>
<p>We acknowledge your accomplishments and want you to understand how much care we have taken in the admission process to get to know all of our applicants, and how much more painful it therefore is to deny so many. Although you may well be disappointed by our decision, remember that in the long run where you go to college is far less important than what you do with the opportunities you surely will have.</p>
<p>Your official admission decision letter has been mailed to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions that remain after reading that letter. You have our best wishes in the meantime.</p>
<p>Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions that remain after reading that letter.</p>
<p>Heh, can we call to ask why in the hell they rejected us? Many times after reading the threads of those who being accepted, I want to scream why accepted them but rejected me?</p>

<p>for those of yoou that think your life is over...I swear in a few years or sooner you'll realize why it happened. It's totally for a reason. Love to all</p>
