Dear Mr. Christopher Girard:
The Yale Admissions Committee has completed its review of this year's candidates, and I write with sincere regret to say that we are not able to offer you a place in the class of 2010.
I realize that this decision may come as a real disappointment. I also hope that you will understand the decision as a reflection only of the extraordinary talent represented in our applicant pool, not a judgment about your own abilities. Of the more than 19,600 students who applied to Yale this year, most are fully capable of successful work here and of benefiting from what Yale College has to offer. Having to say no to so many talented candidates is, I am afraid, the unhappy consequence of our work in undergraduate admissions at Yale.
I extend my good wishes to you for a happy and successful college career. Thank you for your interest in Yale. And by the way - I took a crap this morning, and had it applied to Yale, it would have been more qualified than your sorry, state-school level app. Good day sir.
