Who actually reads their rejection letters?

[upNdown]

I've seen some posts here about the best rejection letters and the worst rejection letters, but it just occured to me that I haven't really read any of my rejection letters.  Or if I have, I've merely skimmed and then immediately forgotten. 

Who cares what they say?  It's a form letter anyway, so it really doesn't matter.  Each time I told my father about a rejcetion, he'd say, "What did they say?"  Are you serious dad?  Its a form letter.

As each agonizing word pierces to the depths of my heart and soul... the burn of each word searing my mind...

Yeah right, I get to the word "regret" and then toss it in the back of my law school app folder.

You save the rejection letters? I plan on having a cathartic rejection letter incineration in April/May.

When I got my first rejection letter (from maryland, not even two weeks after I applied) I put it up on my fridge to try to motivate myself to study for my LSAT retake.  It didn't work - in fact, it just made me want to eat cake frosting straight out of the can.  So I had to take it down for the sake of having my jeans fit...

I wish I could find my UG rejection letters!  I was intent on framing them to put next to my diploma when I did get into a top U.  It worked!

For that reason, I a hoping to do the same with ls rejections.  But as for actually reading them, nope.

I got about a gazillion rejection letters for my first article before I got a yes.  I think they filled my saved mail folder on AOL.  I should have printed them out and taped them above my computer.

BC published it in their IP law review.

It's called Google's Literary Quest in Peril.

eh, there are some weird people online.  it's best to stay anonymous, i think.

Good point.  I changed it.
