Rejection Letter

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University
1

<p>Dear Purplefish:</p>

<p>The Yale Admissions Committee has completed its review of this year's candidates, and I write with sincere regret to say that we are not able to offer you a place in the class of 2010.</p>

<p>I realize that this decision may come as a real disappointment. I also hope that you will understand the decision as a reflection only of the extraordinary talent represented in our applicant pool, not a judgment about your own abilities. Of the more than 19,600 students who applied to Yale this year, most are fully capable of successful work here and of benefiting from what Yale College has to offer. Having to say no to so many talented candidates is, I am afraid, the unhappy consequence of our work in undergraduate admissions at Yale.</p>

<p>I extend my good wishes to you for a happy and successful college career. Thank you for your interest in Yale.</p>

<p>Jeffrey Brenzel

Dean of Undergraduate Admissions</p>

<p>I thought it was average. For some reason, the Northwestern one had a bigger effect on me to confort me, but probably because I expectd to get acceptd there and got denied ;o</p>
