¡Que viva la tradición!

Dear Mr. You:

Our Admissions Comittee has undertaken a careful review of your application, letters of recommendation, the transcrips of your past academic experience, and other supporting materials. Te Committee determined that it cannot recommend acceptance, and consequently I must inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to the graduate program in American Studies.

I know this will come as unwelcome news. Please be assured that we receive many more applications than we can possibly accept. Many strong candidates have to be denied admission. This decision, therefore, may not reflect adversely upon your potential for graduate study at another institution. Thank you for considering XXXXXXXXXXXXX University.

Sincerely,
Me
Associate Dean for Graduate Studies
