Economics, Stanford University I was expecting that....here is the rejection ''Dear Applicant, I regret to inform you that you were not admitted to our graduate program in Economics. A formal decision letter is being mailed. We received applications from many more qualified candidates than we can accept given our financial resources and space restrictions. Consequently, many strong candidates had to be turned down. While we cannot respond to each applicant individually about the strengths and weaknesses of their application, you may find it helpful to know that the successful applicants had perfect or near perfect scores on the GRE, impeccable letters of recommendation, extremely high grades - especially in math and economic courses, and demonstrated evidence of research ability. The committee also took into account the calibre of the undergraduate and/or graduate institutions attended. Applicants are also compared against the pool of other applicants applying in the same year. This year we had approximately 800 applications, but we were only able to offer admission to 72 applicants. I hope that this feedback is informative.''

Economics, Stanford University So like stanford to boast about how great their stats are in a rejection letter ...

Economics, Stanford University Regarding the rejection letter from Stanford. It seems like a crappy program if they have to boast about the applicants in the letter, like they're trying to make it seem better then it actually is. Silly academics playing their silly games.
