I never understood why collidges limit enrollment, when it is a capital endeavor.

McDonald's ain't never said to me "Thank you for your recent application to purchase one of our McQuarter Pounders.  However, your food eating qualifications at this time (blah blah) In conclusion, we don't need your money.  Thank you, please pull ahead.

Only two days elapsed between wrong-email and correction-email.  I'm sure the other school swould put them back in play, had they even acted that fast to drop them from consideration.

And the world needs more ditch diggers, too.


Seriously, though: when you guys applied to colleges/law schools/grad schools/whatever, did you not inform your lesser choice schools to drop you from further consideration after you were accepted at a higher school?

Accepted by email?

Or after receiving a big chunky (or otherwise) envelope in the real world?
