I came across this unique letter sent by a law school applicant that was denied admission to the school of her choice (I have removed the name of the applicant and law school):
Dear Dean SMITH,
Thank you for your letter of February 2. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me a spot at your law school.
This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters from law schools. With such a varied and promising field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite LAW SCHOOL's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this time. Therefore, I will assume a spot at your law school this September. I look forward to seeing you then.Best of luck in rejecting future law school applicants.
Sincerely,
Applicant

I can think of a few employers I'd like to send that to....
I actually know of somebody that sent a similar letter to a law firm after getting rejected (the letter was pretty similar, but ended with something like, "I will report for work on Sept. 15." Someone from HR contacted the person warning them that security would prevent them from entering the building. The guy tried to explain that it was a joke, but the humor was lost on the HR rep.
