Mr. Jones (applicant)

We regretfully inform you that after close consideration of your application, we will be unable to accept you into the Brown University Literary Arts program...

blah, blah, blah,

661 applicants competing for 8 spots.

in response to the rejection letter:

my id: go eat meat, drink lots of alcohol, smoke and pack of cigarettes and have sex with a attractive stranger.

my ego:
you're stupid for thinking you had a chance to get in without a verbal recommendation from Kevin Young, lol (better start looking at the low-res programs, state schools).

...I don't consider myself an elitist but I want to go to the best school for what I'm trying to study...I just have to re-think what best means, for me, specifically and gauge exactly where my strengths and weaknesses are in poetry through those avenues available to me.

i felt sorry for myself for 5 minutes on sunday, when i realized that i had been rejected and wouldnt be going to my first choic in schools.

i must hastily consider a plan B for the fall.
