- 02.06.14: Our Graduate Studies Committee thought highly of your application, and it is currently on our reversion list. 02.07.14: Our Admissions Committee considered your application with great care, but I am sorry to inform you that we are not able to offer you admission. To the person below: "Guess its another year of unemployed futility"—yes! I'm on the same boat, exciting :D I have an idea, for the acceptance/rejection letters, like to make them more ethical. Because when I received this one, my heart started beating quickly, and I wasn't able to effectively cut through the rhetoric of it to just find out if I got in or not. Could perhaps committees, instead of writing letters, colour code statuses (green=you're in, red=out), and send out blank pages (idk maybe there's a rule stating that these must be signed and have the name of the addressee, sure, w/e minimal legal (ughh) requirement exists satisfy it) which are either green or red? But that's a stupid idea, so utopic (not a word, I mean utopia-like, utopiaic...), juvenile, blah blah. The problem is that it would be more effective, it would do nothing more than getting the point across. Efficient, to the point. LOL! And that's precisely why it cannot happen... you know this, the denial of a truth is that which allows for the functioning of society in a first place, the objet a cannot be internalized due to its nonhuman monstrosity, it is inappropriable... joke is this psychoanalytical b/s is TRUE!!!!! and woe to those who are infected with its ideas, good lord jesus, your're %^&*.
