I have been accepted into the CSE Master's program at University of California, San Diego. Woohoo!

Not my first choice school, but by no means my backup or safety school. Now I just need to work on becoming a California resident for the past year...

Dear Applicant,

The MSCS Admissions Committee has reviewed your application for
admission for Fall 2005-06 to the Masters program in the Computer
Science Department. I am sorry to tell you that the committee did not
recommend you for admission. The number of applicants far exceeds
the number of those whom we can admit, which makes the admissions
process a difficult and painstaking one. As a result, many strong
candidates must be turned down.

I wish you all the success in the future.

Sincerely yours,
Kathi DiTommaso
Director of Admissions
Stanford University
