Very funny

I read this post on the BW forum and I had a good laugh. I couldn't help but post it here:

Dear xxxxxx,
After a careful review of your credentials, we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to the title of "king of dings."We have had an unusually competitive applicant pool this year, and while your combination of dings, high gpa, and high gmat is impressive indeed, we had to turn away many well-qualified candidates like you.We encourage you to reapply next year, and your chances will increase in R3, when you have had a chance to accumulate more dings. A note of caution: you will have to make a concerted effort to accumulate more dings. With your gpa and gmat, it is likely that you will be admitted to a top program next year and be disqualified for admission to "king of dings."
Best wishes,
adcom

I know it can be really devastating to have a ding or more even if you end up getting an admit and especially painful for those with no admit. I really think it is brave that someone can actually find a way to laugh about it and find some hope and strength to apply again.
