I can assure you that I have no doubt your school would've undoubtedly succeeded and thrived had I chosen to matriculate there. However, as every year, I am compelled to make the unfortunate decision of choosing between some very accomplished MBA-conferring candidates.
Should you re-apply next year to offer me a position within your esteemed institution of higher learning, I can provide you with an extensive feedback on your shortcomings in this year application. While the process of declining an offer from a school is holistic and based on multiple, not solely quantitative factors, I may suggest, for example, that you look into your scholarship offer and / or fellowship opportunities and fee waivers.
I wish you all the best in your educational future, whichever path you should chose - in or out of the Top-10 list".
Lol. I wonder if there's ever been a "non-competitive year" according to a ding letter:
"This year, the pool of applicants was just okay. Even so, we still don't want you..."
