Memo to Grad Schools

Posted by psychdork, 02 March 2010 · 139 views

Dear Grad Schools,

Since I know you all took a careful look at my application (right?), I am sure you are all aware that my birthday is this Saturday.  However, I am sure you are not aware that my past few birthdays have, well, sucked.  I am determined to end this streak ASAP and in order to do so, the following is effective immediately.

I will NOT allow rejection letters on this day.  This goes for any type of deliverly method including (but certainly not limited to) phone, email, postal mail, smoke signal, or owl.  Please plan accordingly.

To make you aware of the seriousness of this memo, if you fail to follow the above rule, you will agree to pay my bar tab for the night, as well as all receipts from any impulsive chocolate purchases.

Not to mention my therapy sessions to be held at a later date...

In case there is any confusion, this notice is only limited to rejection letters, I will of course accept any type of admittance letter on this day, especially if accompanied by full funding.  

Thank you for your cooperation,

Me




awesome.

I hope your birthday is fabulous (and involves a double celebration of birthday and acceptance!).
Feliz cumpleaños!!! :)
Happy Birthday!!!!
If you don't mind I'd like to forward this letter to the programs I have applied for as well as my birthday is Sunday and I feel I am owed the same courtesy, paid bar tabs, acceptance notifications, and chocolate...
Funny
Good luck

Happy Birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday to you as well!!

Of course, go ahead!
Good thing your birthday falls on the weekend then! I got a rejection letter from a top choice on my birthday. But I knew it was coming, laughed it off and went out anyways! Your birthday is about you - you owe it to yourself to forget about applications, maybe not even check your email, and just have a good time. Have a happy birthday!
İyi ki doğdunuz
Hilarious... I love it!

Good luck and Happy Birthday :)

Happy b.day man, wish u the best in all ur remaining apps...i just remembered, last year....the day b4 my bday (3/26), i got a rejection from UIUC - my number one school that I was so sure I would get into :( This year, I'm not taking any chances, I will NOT check the mail, email, web, phone on my bday/the day b4 or the one after...
