“We regret that we are not able…”

This morning I received an email from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern thanking me for my patience while on their waitlist and informing me that they would not be able to offer me a spot in the entering class.

This, after I wrote them in March to tell them I did not want a place on their waitlist because I had been admitted elsewhere. I hope my undesired presence on their waitlist didn’t prevent someone else from getting onto the list who would have wanted to be on it…

Sometimes this process was so maddening…
