<p>Wash U Scholarship rejection letter is distasteful. The rejection letter incudes a post card, the title is "Congratulations". I feel these Wash U people are senseless. What is there to congratulate when someone is rejected for an opportunity? Are they try to hurt these poor students?</p>
<p>are you serious?! it's odd that they would do that...</p>
<p>... So they had something that was "Congrats! you didn't win!" or was it more of a Congrats for getting accepted into WashU?</p>
<p>it is true. I do not see this "congratulations" card serve any purpose at all. I really do not understand how this stupid card is included in the rejection letter. My D does not have to go Wash. But the card really bothers me.</p>
<p>What else was on the card other than congrats?</p>
<p>If that is all that was on it then it might have been put in by mistake?</p>
<p>it says "you will find good news concerning your application for a Wash Academic Scholarship". "You can contact me to see whether there is other opportunity available".</p>
<p>And that was with a standard rejection letter teliing about all the applications and competition for scholarships?</p>
<p>I got rejected from the deans scholarship and I didnt get any postcard. I got a letter and that was it. Was your postcard in the letter or was it just a postcard?</p>
<p>A rejection letter plus the post card.</p>
<p>Are you going to contact them about another possible opportunity mention on the post card?</p>
<p>Sounds like the postcard may have been put in the envelope in error. My daughter got the sad letter, but not the postcard.</p>
<p>My D has other opportunities even though Wash U with a merit aid was her top choice. The distasteful card upsets me. Thanks for eveybody's concern. I wish everybody good luck!</p>
<p>im sure they didnt mean harm by it... i mean, theyre supposed to be genreally pretty nice people</p>
<p>though when i called them they were slightly rude...</p>
<p>They have been nice any time I talked to them. Remember though they have just gone through about 20000 applicaions and who knows how many phone calls they have received from anxious applicants or parents. By now don't you think most people could be a bit testy and come off as "rude"? I stiil think Schoolfinder ought to call in the morning to ask about the card. Just for closure.</p>
<p>I think you got either the rejection or the postcard by mistake. If the letter was personalized (Dear Schoolfinder) then the postcard was the mistake. That stinks!</p>
<p>I did send the admission office an email. It does not matter now. Wash U is no longer for D. Good luck to everyone.</p>
<p>Ouch! It's a tough school to get into, I'm not counting on an acceptance, let alone merit money</p>
<p>My son got the same thing - rejection letter and congratulations postcard.</p>
<p>Tell me again what the "congratulations" card is about? My poor daughter only got the rejection letter. No congratulations for anything whatsoever! We feel deprived!</p>
