<p>Today has NOT been a good college day for me lol. Did anyone think the rejection letter was not done very well? I’m done with the college decisons now, it’s time for me to decide now. Join me in my sorrow…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Seems like the standard rejection to me, not excessively cold, it has the standard "unprecedented number of applicants," many talented people, etc,etc, you just didn't cut it, sorry.</p>
<p>Oh well, Wharton was my first choice, but being accepted into NYU's Stern does alleviate some of the pain... too bad I cant afford Stern...</p>
<p>the letter was not written well...yeah i was sort of expecting the rejection letter tho...bad SAT scores</p>
<p>For those of you who are curious:</p>
<p>Dear __________, </p>
<p>I am sorry to notify you that after reviewing your application thoroughly, our selection committee is unable to offer you admission to the University of Pennsylvania's Class of 2010. All aspects of your application, the academic and the non-academic, were considered carefully and compared to those of the rest of the applicant pool. </p>
<p>Perhaps the most difficult and displeasing part of my job is writing similar letters to thousands of students like you, whose accomplishments are promising and exciting. I assure you that the selection committee gave your application every consideration, but, because of an unprecedented number of outstanding applicants we have to deny admission to a large majority of the remarkable students who seek admission to Penn. Most of our applicants are qualified to pursue successfully a program of study at Penn; however, only a relatively small percentage can be admitted. </p>
<p>We are pleased to have received your application to our University. I am sincerely sorry to disappoint you, yet trust that you will have other opportunities to attend another very good college. I wish you the best in the future. </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Willis J. Stetson, Jr.
Dean of Admissions</p>
<p>This cheered me up</p>
<p>this isn't a bad article either, found on cornell board:</p>

<p>What a liar. He only wrote one letter...</p>
<p>horrible day :( i kinda wish i hadn't applied to so many goddamn reaches.</p>
<p>Heck man. I'm off to medical school in the UK!</p>
<p>I don't know... Penn was my 5th rejection letter and they all seemed the same to me. None of them were worded well.</p>
