College Rejection Letter by ~CrazedRaven:iconCrazedRaven:



Dear Dean of Admissions,

I have carefully reviewed your letter of rejection from the University. After much consideration, I regret that I am unable to shout in anger, cry in despair, or produce any other kind of strong reaction, only left with stale look of complacence. In process of reviewing the rejection, I am well aware that I have already received an acceptance from my first choice university (i.e.: not you guys), and while you were reviewing my application, which is one of the worst systems I have ever come across, I was celebrating jovially, talking with my friends about my triumphs, and making plans for September. Given the nature and excruciating difficulty of your application website, which required around five odd essays, one of them asking a question I could have answered with a mere sentence. (i.e.: I was only interested in your school not because it had any intellectual value, only because it had a very high ranking on the U.S. News and World Report), I simply must say: words fail me when it comes to the amount of pretension that I have seen in your University.

I recognize that this letter does not come as a disappointment to me; rather, I think just the opposite. Nevertheless, I encourage you to make your future plans of making more High School Seniors suffer for weeks on end with the same vanity and arrogance that led you to lure me into filling out your discombobulating application form.

I appreciate your kind words and grave concern that you have shown towards me in your letter of rejection. Accept my unadulterated indifference towards your decision.

Yours Truly,
Bernard Feng

Author's Comments

I have just received my 1st letter of rejection. But, unlike many of the students at my school, I do not feel a single thing. The reason is because I am already bound for a college that I believe to be far superior to this one (it's not higher ranked than the said university, but it seems more right for me)

I'm not angry, nor am I sad; as a matter of fact, I find the kind words of the Dean rather funny.

"I recognized this letter may come as a disappointment to you"

I appreciate your concern, sir, but it's not.

"We appreciate the interest that you have shown in the University"

Interest? Since when was I authentically interested in you?

Well, my point made, I hope you enjoy my unsent letter, and I hope it brings relief to those who have suffered at the hands of many an admissions office.

I refuse to disclose the name of the University to which I refer in fear that those from that University will hunt me down. Therefore, if you happen to know which University that I'm talking about, keep shut!

Anyway, bon appetit!

Kudos to you for the use of "discombobulating". xD

Now THAT was one hell of a reply to a rejection letter. Just curious, did you actually send that to them? ;) Certainly sounds like they'd deserve it. :ohnoes:

I have a sequin for an eye, pick a rose and hide my face.

If they didn't understand those words, that would be all the more funny because most of the words are SAT words.

Freakin' hypocrites.....

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone.

Not sure if it's the best reply, but I find it rather amusing that the college admissions officers think that I actually care

Hehe, I love using eloquent vocabulary (i.e.: big words) lol.

Well, I didn't send it back- it's a waste of effort, time, and stamps. Besides, that would precipitate more contempt.

This was just being facetious, and thanks for the compliment!
