申請美國大學,不可能百發百中,多數人肯定會收到一兩封拒絕信。收到拒絕信,不必氣餒,也可以寫一封信,拒絕這封拒絕信,這裏是一份樣板。
Rejecting A Rejection Letter

Dear Professor Mean,
Thank for your letter of April 16. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me admission to your department.
This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite W.M.U.'s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this time. Therefore, I will join the ranks of graduate students in your department this September. I look forward to seeing you then.
Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.
Sincerely,
[your name here]
