Members don't see this ad.

So I will likely receive my rejection letter in the mail on Tuesday. What shall I do with it? Help me decide!

Post the justification for your choice as well.

A couple of thoughts have crossed my mind...

1. fume hood + acetone spray bottle + tongs + bunsen burner

2. frame it, since a harvard interview is hard to get in the first place

3. save it for my kids, who will avenge my rejection by getting into harvard

I say frame it. Once you're a famous scientist you can laugh in Harvard's face and say "See, don't you wish you would have taken me then" muahahaha!

Hmm I don't think I'll ever be able to do that. Crap, must change to a science PhD now. Forget history, laughing in Harvard's face is MUCH more important than personal happiness!

Nah, what you need to do is dig up some ancient secret scroll in Boston that holds some terrible dark secret of Harvard...go go history of science!

you have to either burn it or send it back to them saying " I reject you " because...well, you have to do it for me ... I remember getting rejected by Harvard for my undergrad and I didnt get to do anything cool with that letter because my mom wanted it for the family album (ouch)... so, do it for me 😀

My boyfriend has his Harvard undergrad letter framed on his wall. I burned my undergrad rejection, so this time I'm keeping mine so that we'll have a matching pair. ;-)

You forgot about the liquid nitrogen and hammer method. Talk about a cathartic release!

Gosh, I wonder what I did with mine. Probably filed it away, so I can bring it out when my ego needs to be taken down a peg or two. 😉
