In response to the often less than fortunate news that comes for high school seniors by April 1st, we've created a forum to express everything you would like to say to the schools that obviously don't know a good thing when they see it. Feel free to email your open and anonymous letters, stories, and comments to screwyouharvard@gmail.com. All submissions will be reviewed; nothing explicit or offensive will be posted.

Dear Carnegie Mellon,

I sincerely apologise for not having the 'potential' you were looking for. While your conservatory proclaims to be looking for people who are 'not perfect', your overly selective decision for 18 people speaks otherwise. If you truly wish to educate those who want to grow in their craft, you would accommodate those more like myself, who are not yet perfect. Your system is flawed, because in order to get in, I would have to be at a level I am not at. The only way to get to the level you would wish me to be at is to complete an education similar to that which you offer. I hope you see the Catch-22 in this situation.

In brief? Thank you for the compliments during my audition and the false hope that you gave me and thousands of others. I hope those 18 you chose meet their full potential, if they even have it in the first place.

Yours,
No Longer a Steelers Fan
