I hope this is real. If you look into it and find it isn’t real, don’t tell me.
If they excessively quote the original letter in their reply, it’s not real. Nobody puts this amount of effort into a rejection when they are obviously being mocked by the sender. They would send a generic “not what we’re looking for” rejection letter at most.
This is almost certainly the case.
BUT
If I were an admissions officer and got an application like the one hinted at I’d probably put the time into a rejection like this since it’s clearly what the sender was really after. I mean, it’s clear fake, but I kind of wish it wasn’t
The problem is that the second you responded to something like that you’d be buried in copycats the next year all hoping to go viral. So you’ve made your job more difficult or burnt bridges on the way out the door.
Doesn’t it still cost like a hundred bucks to apply to harvard, or have they done away with that?
Less than a hundred, and they still charge it.
Also, the dean of admissions is likely overworked and isn’t going to waste time processing all that crap and writing a personalize rejection letter.
The guy in charge of letting people in to one of the most prestigious universities in America is overworked? The hell you say! (That’s supposed to be read as friendly, not actually incredulous)
For real, it’s not like job applications where a lot of folks just cut the pile in half and toss them, then cut it in half again and toss them (yeah, I’ve seen managers do that for jobs with high application rates). They’ve got folks going through just checking that the admission was properly submitted, another layer making sure the people who properly submitted are qualified, then they’re weighted to toss out any that fall below a certain percentage of qualification. Then the dean makes decisions. And they’re still probably way overworked.
Something like this got tossed out by the lowest possible level and that person wouldn’t even have the authority to write anything except a standard form letter that gets signed with an autopen.
It’s an entertaining fake, but definitely a fake.
please tell me then, is it real
Sadly, it isn’t
Now I want to know if Harvard accepted her actual application.
Edit: they didn’t
Why don’t we ought to believe it’s real then :)
Don’t listen to them! It’s real!
I BELIEVE!

Clearly Harvard isn’t truly committed to diversity on campus. I’m guessing she was the only applicant to submit a 40 minute mix tape of animal noises, and yet they turned her down because there just wasn’t a “40m animal noises mix tape” box to check.
A shame what modern education has become.
I miss 2015 internet so much…
Thanks for the glimpse
This photo was new to me, I didn’t know it was so old. Glad to see it brought back your old fond memories =)
Bet it was a smashing mixtape, they just didnt have the palet for perfection.
Did the 40 minutes of animal noises contain what the fox says? Because if so I find the admissions committee to have bad taste in fine art.
Oh, it was a woman 🤣… I would expect this from a half retarded male but a woman 🤔 🤨?
Than again, we live in a diverse world 🤷.
What a way to turn a good joke into awkward silence.
The R word is a slur
