Well, no it didn't say that I'd be going somewhere else equally cool, but it did say stuff like: We thought your application was totally awesome, and you had great letters of reference and very interesting experience, but we're a small school so no offense if we didn't even interview you.
I don't have it with me in the library, but it just went on about how they thought I (and everyone else who gets it I guess) was a really great candidate and that was nice to read. Oh, and they said: we appreciate how hard you worked to get to this point and we appreciate your patience with our process over the past few months. Honestly, the nicest rejection yet. I might write them back and thank them for such a nice letter. What the heck!
Well, Downstate's said something like: Okay, so we rejected you. But don't call us, or write to us asking us why because we won't tell you. You were rejected for one of the following five reasons - 1) gpa 2) mcat 3) weak letters of ref 4) something else along these lines, and 5) we just thought your application stank.
Yow!
