斯坦福重口味拒信，慎入.

　　It is with regret that I write to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to the freshman class at Stanford University. Please know that this decision does not rlect any diciency or weakness in your application. We are humbled by your talents and achievements, and are impressed with the commitment that you have shown in all of your academic and extracurricular endeavors.

　　We appreciate the thoughtfulness and care that went into your application and want to assure you that your candidacy received thorough and serious consideration. This decision should in no way detract from the very impressive credentials that you presented; due to the large number of applications that we receive for a comparatively small incoming class, we must unfortunately disappoint a vast majority of our applicants each year.

　　You should know that we arrive at all admission decisions by way of an exhaustive committee review process. As a result, all application decisions are final, and we are unable to consider appeals of any kind. For your rerence, answers to some of the most commonly asked questions regarding our restrictive early action admission process may be found here. I hope these will address any questions or concerns you may have. I would also like to share with you an article (The title is "Rejected by Stanford? You&apos&aposll live.") I wrote for the Los Angeles Times in 2007 which you may find applicable today.

　　We understand that this news must be disappointing to receive and, for that reason, we will not send a duplicate notification of this decision by mail.

　　Ze, I want to thank you for your interest in Stanford and the fort that you put into your application. I wish you the very best for an outstanding undergraduate experience.

　　写出这封信我遗憾死了，但是遗憾能当饭吃吗?我们还是没法录取你。要知道，这个决定不代表你的申请材料很次，反正没达到我们的标准就是了。你的才华和成就都让我们惊叹，你在所有课外活动的决心都给我们留下了深刻的印象，但是还不够厉害。

　　你在申请材料是下了大功夫的，我看得出来，我向你保证，你的资料我们都是认真审阅并且严肃决定的，那确确实实不达标，别yy了。这个决定并不能说明你的材料不够深刻;但是因为申请者有很多很多，学位又是非常有限的，很不幸，我们让很多的申请人失望了，没办法，你们不给力嘛。

　　要知道，审核这些决定可是花了我们不少功夫的，所以，这些决定是最终的，没有啥可以上诉的机会，你就死心了吧……有啥问题，点这个链接吧，别问我就是，希望这个链接能回答你的疑问，接受现实吧，别怀疑了。对了，我2007年在洛杉矶时报上写了一篇文章，拿去看看，安慰一下你自己吧。(那篇文章叫做《被斯坦福拒了?没关系，你又不会死……》)

　　那啥，我知道这消息很让人失望，所以，我们就不再刺激你了，你不会再收到纸质通知的。

　　赜，你对斯坦福大学的兴趣和你在申请材料上花的心思我都非常感激，是的，再感激我也不会改变我的主意。祝你本科申请愉快!再见!
