<p>Is a reply (or something like a thank you card) to a rejection email from grad school necessary? Would it be a little impolite if I do not reply?</p>
<p>not necessary at all.</p>
<p>A reply to a rejection would look very strange. Please refrain from doing so.</p>
<p>As much as I wanted to argue how much they messed up in not accepting me, I stuck to the higher ground and danced around a burning effigy of the school's mascot.</p>
<p>hehe... j/k. dont send them anything and move on to greener pastures</p>
<p>LOL.</p>
<p>Thank you for replies. Yeah, I had thought it was not necessary, but came to wonder after I saw someone on the web say he would write a reply.</p>
<p>Writing a follow up letter to a school that rejected you is like sending a thank you note to a girl that you just got dumped by.</p>
