<p>I haven’t gotten any, but I am expecting one in the next few days. I did, however get a scholarship rejection email and I really wish I could have done something more to it than deleting it.</p>
<p>I read through my UF one(my only one), and it said my application was not as competitive as the rest in the applicant pool… even though I have a 27 ACT, 4.5W GPA, and tons of EC’s… and this other girl I know got in with a 20 ACT, at least one failed class, and virtually no EC’s. That’s when I said “bull*****,” and threw it in the trash.</p>
<p>At my daughter’s school they had a ‘burn the rejection letters’ night. One of the teachers would start a small bonfire and the students that wanted to would hand their letter to him and he would announce the school and burn their letter. It was a fun way for the kids to put it all behind them and move on. They all had fun doing it. It was part of the after prom night festivities. This was a very small school though.</p>
<p>i got my first rejection online…then when i finally received the letter. i just threw it away. shouldn’t have applied to that school early. kind of a stupid move…too bold…overestimated myself i guess. sigh. hopefully it won’t ruin the entire thing…<em>fingers crossed</em></p>
<p>I got a waitlist from WashU and I didn’t even open it. It was my last choice for schools, but I was still mad. When my Northwestern rejection comes in the mail, it will find itself promptly thrown in the garbage.</p>
<p>I had a little fun with my Olin rejection letter. Some of you might think its weird, but here’s what I did:</p>
<p>I shot it through multiple times with a pellett gun.
I blasted it with a potato canon (on plywood so it didn’t destroy the letter, just textured it).
I dried it and folded it into a paper crane.
Then, I cast it in over-catalyzed resin to give it a permanent, destroyed look.</p>
<p>I’m saving mine. I’m going to have to think of something creative to do with my one from chicago; I wasn’t expecting to get rejected. Thanks for all the ideas!</p>
