That's nice Bitter Rejected University, but I rejected YOU!

Dear Bitter R U,

Don't send me a rejection letter after I tell you I don't want you.

It makes you look lame.

You remind me of a pathetic ex-boyfriend who yells "No, I'm leaving you!" as you close the door after dumping him, or a retarded boss who responds to your resignation with a "You can't quit, you're fired!".

It's annoying Bitter R U.

It's annoying and it makes you look bad.

I'm sorry if your feelings were hurt because I wouldn't even interview with you. I got into Perfect Match University, and nothing you could have said would have made a lick of difference. Sure it hurts to be rejected Bitter R U. Sure it does - I know the pain too well. But I didn't email Ivy League University a week after they rejected me pretending that I withdrew my app on time. I just hung my head in shame and moved on. You should have done the same. And if you needed to have a paper trail, you could have withdrawn my app like other schools have done when rejected.

Lame, Bitter R U.

U R Lame.

Pathetic indeed, if the university did actually do this! You should also consider sending this little letter that you composed to them. What was the date on the letter? Was it after you had conveyed your decision to them?

Was it after you had conveyed your decision to them?

Yeah it was about a week later. I gather from the experiences of others that schools do this often enough - basically their bureaucratic way of closing your file. Still, that doesn't make it any less lame in my book - they could have just as easily sent an email that said something like "Per your request we are withdrawing you from consideration."

But then I never would have had the opportunity to come up with my clever (for entertainment purposes only) retort so there's my silver lining!
