My rejection letter to schools: Dear XX University: I regret that I am not unable to accept your admission at this time. Your school is very good, however I receive over 400 offers this year, most of which are from various departments of Harvard, Yale, MIT, and etc. The competition is very tough, so I have to reject many qualified schools. At first, I put you on my waitling list. However, president of Harvard keeps writing emails to me every hours, and I find that the professors there do have common research interest with me. Therefore, I have to decline your admission. Nontheless, if you can pay me 350,000,000 dollars a year (excluded bonus) , I can still consider your offer. I am sorry that I do not have a better outcome to report to you. I hope you could find other excellent students. Don't be discouraged! Yours, xunoname

Dear xunoname, We regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to our mathematics PhD program at this time. Your application was the strongest we had ever seen, so we thought you deserves a huge offer: tuition waier+a stipend of $ 350,000,000/year. However, due to the current economic crisis, we really do not have so much money for you. You are so excellent that we will feel guity if we don't pay you $ 350,000,000/year, therefore we have no choice but to deny your application. If we can make enough money next year, we will try to have you here. We are so guilty. Your servant, xx

It is complex for me to explain why I like mathematics. The internal causes maybe are: A. I like the feeling of discovery and imagination. B. I realize that mathematical principles govern the universe. The external causes come from many resources: good books such as The Emperor's New Mind, by Roger Penrose, Mathematics

To misterpat: good ideas! I will go through the essay and fix the flaws. To Ferrero: with all due respect, I don't think your joke is funny. Anyway, thank you for your useful advices.

Thank you. Ferrero. I really appreciate your answer. To be honest. I don't have a deep understanding of advanced research. So it is difficult for me to say which area I will sure do. Anyway, I do have more interest on ALgebra and combinatorics that other fields, but I have no ability to say I am suitable for them.

Please comment on my PS and provide your valuable suggestions. Thank you. In my arithmetic class in grade one, I once was requested to recite the multiplication table.
