Member-only story
The admissions selection committee has reviewed your application for admission for the fall of 2011.
I received your love letters the other day.
We are grateful for the time you invested in researching the University and completing the application process.
Um…it seems your’ve had feelings for me for a while.
Each application is unique, and each student presents wonderful attributes and potential.
You are very special.
While I wish it had been possible to offer you admission…
I wish I could feel the same way but…
However, after evaluating your credentials in the context of a talented group of candidates, we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to *****.
After some serious thoughts, I am afraid this you-and-me thing may not work out.
We want to assure you that we gave your application a very careful review before making this difficult decision.
You need to trust me that it wasn’t easy to say no to you.
However, with nearly 33,000 applications this year for 2,250 openings in the freshman class, competition for admission was extremely intense. As a result of this, many qualified candidates have been denied admission.
If it helps, there are many others who I had to turn down as well, you know.
