Dear Harvard,

I regret to inform you that I just can not accept your rejection of my application for addmittance. It appears that all other universities I have applied to would just not garner the starting salary required by my high standards and need for a new Porsche 911.

I therefore reject your rejection and will begin classes in the fall.

Sincerely,

Even though it'd be easier to simply state "accepted" or "rejected", I must say that I liked Harvard University's rejection letter that was posted on the website.

Past experience suggests that the particular college a student attends is far less important than what the student does to develop his or her strengths and talents over the next four years...

Biggest Spin: Numerous colleges spin the data in their rejection letters as a well-intentioned way of comforting denied students. University of California, Davis, says it had "42,000 applicants from which UC Davis could enroll a freshman class of 4,600." This implies an 11% acceptance rate. Its actual admission rate is closer to 50%, because many accepted candidates ultimately enroll elsewhere.
An old friend of mine is finishing her Doctorate at UC Davis so this kinda cracked me up. Makes me question her school a little....

UC Davis is a great school, and a great place to go to college. It's FAR more selective for graduate school, as it has a good law school, good medical school, and one of the very top veterinary medicine programs in the world. It's true that it has to accept a lot more people than, say, Berkeley, LA, or San Diego, because it's a relatively young UC school and is still developing. Having known people who graduated from every UC school, I can say with certainty that the rank of the school has far less to do with a student's abilities than the student's rank within a given school.

UCSD '07, Berkeley '10

Very true. I believe UCD is tied for No.2 with Colorado State University when it comes to vet programs. with Cornell still holding the top spot.

how do I know? My roommate is in the vet program at CSU. Dude studies so much, I'm amazed at his dedication.
