Worst Rejection Letter Ever.

Re: FT Inst - English Composition
Division: Humanities
ID# 13129

Thank you for your interest in applying for the above referenced position. There were many fine candidates; however, after a careful review of application materials submitted, the screening committee selected other candidates for further consideration.

We encourage you to apply for future openings for which you may qualify and wish you the best of success in fulfilling your career objectives.

It doesn't say I am a fine candidate, nor does it say the school in question chose better qualified candidates "for further consideration." The letter merely states facts, and then suggests I try again. Considering how I applied for this position in January, and that I will be going to school in the fall, I don't think I will.
