Dear Hisashi,

The Committee on Admissions of Creighton University School of Medicine has recommended that we contact you again regarding the status of the 1998 fall entering class. At this time, all positions in the class have now been filled.

Hence, the Committee has found it necessary to withdraw your application. We regret that we have no room in the class for all who wished to attend, and wish that a more favorable disposition of your application could have been realized.

Thank you for your patience as an alternate for the 1998 freshman class. We hope that you will be successful in achieving your professional goals.

Sincerely,

August 18, 1998

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

I wish to advise you that our alternate list is now closed and this letter must serve as a rejection to your application to our School of Medicine for the freshman class which began several days ago. I sincerely regret that we were not able to offer you a position in this class but the limited number of openings did not permit this.

Please accept my gratitude for being so patient in bearing with us through this long application process. Whatever may be your endeavor or field of study this year, I wish you every success.

Sincerely yours,

August 10, 1998

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

On August 10, 1998, the Class of 2002 registered to pursue medical studies in the School. All 138 places are now filled and committed. Therefore, we must inform you that there is no possibility that we can offer you a place in this years class.

The Complexity of the problem which we faced is indicated by the fact that we received 7,600 preliminary applications for the Class of 2002. Of these, 4,000 individuals completed final application for the places available. We were faced with the perplexing situation of many more applicants who are qualified than could possibly be accommodated with the constraints of the 138 entering places.

We are greatly disappointed that we could not accept all the outstanding candidates who demonstrated an interest in this School

We appreciate your interest in Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and hope you are in pursuing your medical studies without interruption.

Sincerely,

May, 1998

Dear Applicant:

The CMS (Finch University of the Health Sciences / The Chicago Medical School) Student Admissions Committee has carefully evaluated your application and regrets that it cannot offer you a place in our entering class. Our applicant pool number was over 10,000 this year. I trust that you appreciate the difficulty in selecting only a fraction of the many qualified applicants.

Best wishes in your future efforts to become part of the medical health care team.

Sincerely,

April 23, 1998

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

The Admissions Committee has carefully reviewed your application for admission to New York Medical College. We are sorry we are not able to offer you a place in the class entering in August of 1998.

This year we received more than 10,000 applications for an entering class of 190. Many of these applicants demonstrate strong academic and personal preparation for medical school. In this environment it is inevitable that well-qualified applicants will be turned away.

Keep in mind that many applicants do reapply in subsequent years. If you want to do so, you should consider what parts of your application might be strengthened: MCATs, grades, medically-related experiences, community service of all kinds. We strongly suggest you speak with your pre-med advisor or other faculty who know you and with whom you've had recent contact. They are in the best position to offer you advice.

Thank you for your interest in New York Medical College, and best wishes for the future.

Sincerely yours,

April 17, 1998

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

We have now concluded our review of applications to our 1998 entering class and interview scheduling has been completed. I am writing to inform you that we are unable to invite for interview candidates in the category in which your application has been held.

The decision making process has been especially difficult this year in view of the quality and number of applications we received you may be assured that you were considered to be very well qualified for the study of medicine and our decision is in no way intended to reflect discredit on your fine record of achievement. However, competition was extremely keen and we were able to interview only a small portion of our large group of applicants.

We appreciate your interest in the University of Southern California School of Medicine and your patience and wish you every success in the fulfillment of your career goals.

Sincerely,

April 3, 1998

Dear Mr. Fujinaka,

The admissions Committee has carefully reviewed your application to Jefferson Medical College. The Committee regrets to inform you that we are unable to offer you a place in the 1998 entering class.

We make every effort to interview every good candidate, but the number of applicants to medical school (40,000) and to Jefferson Medical College (9,000) made this impossible.

Please do not consider this action a reflection on your academic ability but rather an indication of the overwhelmingly large applicant pool and our inability to interview every qualified applicant.

We wish you success in your career and in your efforts to gain admission to another medical school. Thank you for considering Jefferson Medical College.

March 24, 1998

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

Thank you for having expressed an interest in the Medical College of Wisconsin. You application for admission to the College has been given careful consideration by the Admissions Committee.

Unfortunately, we are not able to offer you a place in our first year class. Specific details regarding the deliberations of the Admissions Committee in reviewing your application are unavailable.

Please accept our wish for success in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

March 19, 1998

Dear Mr. Fujinaka, (the only bit typed on a photocopied sheet!)

We have given your application careful consideration and are now at the time of year when final decisions must be made. While you have been a competitive applicant, this year we have had many similarly qualified students and as a result many desirable candidates must be turned away.

We very much regret that we will be unable to offer you a place at the Boston University School of Medicine.

Please accept my best wishes for a successful career in medicine.

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

On behalf of the Medical Student Admissions Committee of MCP*Hahnemann School of Medicine, Allegheny University of the Health Sciences, I regret that it will not be possible to offer you a place in the first year class entering in August of 1998.

Your credentials were reviewed by members of the faculty and this decision was not arrived at in a hasty manner. It is unfortunate that we are able to accept only 250 (!) of the many excellent candidates applying to our institution.

We thank you for your interest in our medical school and wish you success in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

A RUBBER STAMP!

February 26, 1998

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

The Committee on Admissions has completed its review of your application for the class that will enter the Albert Einstein College of Medicine this August.

Although your application was considered favorably by the Committee, we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you a place in the class. This year, 8000 applicants will be considered for 180 places. Unfortunately, it is impossible to accommodate all those students who may appear to be qualified for admission

We appreciate your interest in the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and wish you success in the fulfillment of your career goals.

Very truly yours,

February 17, 1998

Dear Mr. Fujinaka,

Your application to the 1998 entering class has now been carefully reviewed by the Admissions Committee. It is with regret that I must inform you that we are unable to take any further action on your application.

Because of the exceptionally competitive applicant pool this year, the selection process has been unusually difficult and the Committee has had to choose only a few students from a large number of academically qualified applicants.

We greatly appreciate your interest in seeking admission to the UCLA School of Medicine.

Sincerely,

February 17, 1998

Dear Mr. Fujinaka,

Despite your fine record and accomplishments the Committee on Admissions has not found it possible to offer you a place in the class. This year we have received more applications from qualified applicants than we can accommodate in our class. This has made the deliberations of the Committee on Admissions particularly difficult. We only wish we had more opportunities available for fine students such as you.

We are grateful for your interest in Washington University School of Medicine and for your having applied here. We hope that when the time comes to plan for your postgraduate medical training you will consider our fine medical center hospitals.

Please accept our best wishes for your future success in the study of medicine.

Sincerely yours,

February 4, 1998

Dear Mr. Fujinaka,

The Committee on Admissions has reviewed your completed application to this medical school. I regret to inform you that we will not be able to offer you an interview and therefore are unable to offer you a place in the class entering The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences in the fall of 1998.

At present, there are currently over 10,000 applicants for our 150 places! After careful review of completed applications, the Committee chooses approximately 1,000 applicants for interviews. This decision not to proceed further with your application was made on the basis of this careful review. We want to point out that your rejection relates in part to the extreme competition for places in our class. We have done our best to be realistic and judicious in reaching our decisions.

We hope that you will begin to consider and be able to make suitable alternate plans. We greatly appreciate your interest and wish you success in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

January 21, 1998

Dear Mr. Fujinaka,

We regret to inform you that your application will receive no further consideration for the class to enter the Tulane University School of Medicine in August 1998. As you know, the class is limited to 150 students, and the available places do not go very far in accommodating the large number of highly qualified students who have applied to the Tulane University School of Medicine. We hope that you receive an acceptance to a medical school of your choice and that both success and happiness will be yours as you continue your training.

Sincerely,

January 21, 1998

Dear HISASHI:

The Committee on Admissions has carefully reviewed your application. I am sorry that we are unable to offer you a place in the first year class beginning in August, 1998.

The number of applicants to our Medical School has increased significantly this year. Our interview decisions were based on our ranking of many highly motivated, qualified, and academically competitive candidates.

We appreciate your having considered Rochester and wish you success in your future plans.

Sincerely,

January 16, 1998

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

The Committee on Admissions has carefully reviewed your application to the first year class entering Cornell University Medical College in September 1998. We regret to notify you that due to the very keen competition for a limited number of interview slots, we are unable to offer you an interview and therefore a position in our first year class.

As you know, Cornell and other medical schools receive applications from far more individuals than can possibly be accepted. This year more than seven thousand candidates applied for the one hundred and one positions available in the entering class; thus less than two percent of all applicants to Cornell can enroll. The decision not to offer you an interview should not be construed as that the Committee does not consider you qualified for a career in medicine, but rather a result of the very strong competition for the limited palaces in the Class of 2002 at Cornell.

Thank you for your interest in Cornell University Medical College. On behalf of the Committee on Admissions, I wish you every success in pursuit of your future medical career.

Sincerely yours,

October 28, 1997

Dear Mr. Fujinaka,

The Admissions Committee for the Oregon Health Sciences University regrets to inform you that placement in the entering class of 1998 cannot be offered to you.

Each year the Committee must select from a large applicant pool, a well-qualified group of applicants to invite for interviews. From this group, a limited number are chosen for the fall's entering class. During the process of prescreening the credentials of all applicants, your application was not selected for an interview invitation.

Receiving a letter of non-acceptance is a distressing experience with which I can truly sympathize. However, it can also be the beginning of a new program of commitment to your goals. Whether you implement your commitment by channeling your aspirations into other scientific disciplines or by making your credentials even more competitive, I would like to thank you for your interest in the Oregon Health Sciences University and which you success in your future academic and professional endeavors.

Respectfully,

Sept 25, 1997

Dear Mr. Fujinaka,

We greatly appreciate your interest in attending the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine. I am sorry to inform you, however, that your application has not received favorable consideration by our Committee on Admissions.

We have come to this decision reluctantly. It is based on the Committee's review of your entire application, including your academic record, outside activities and personal statement.

This adverse decision does not mean that we believe that you are unqualified to enter this medical school on either personal or scholarly criteria. It simply reflects the intense competition for admission here. We have 35 applicants for each position, and because of this we must turn away a large number of admirable people, most of whom go on to successful careers elsewhere.

I sincerely hope that you will be able to attend medical school this year and am sorry that we cannot accommodate you at UCSF.

Sincerely,

June 1995

Dear Applicant:

The CMS (Finch University of the Health Sciences / The Chicago Medical School) Student Admissions Committee has carefully evaluated your application and regrets that it cannot offer you a place in our entering class. Our applicant pool numbered 12,780 this year. I trust that you can appreciate the difficulty in selecting only a fraction of the many qualified applicants.

Best wishes in your future efforts to become part of the medical health care team.

Sincerely,

Jun 16 1995

Dear Applicant:

I regret to inform you that you have not been accepted for admission to the 1995 entering class of the Howard University College of Medicine. More than six thousand applications were received, and unfortunately there are only one hundred and twenty-five total places in the class.

The members of the Admissions Committee hope that you have been accepted to another of the medical schools to which you applied or that you will explore the excellent opportunities offered in one of the many other health professions.

Sincerely,

May 10, 1995

Dear Mr. Fujinaka,

The Admissions Committee for the Oregon Health Sciences University School of Medicine regrets to inform you that placement in the entering class of 1995 cannot be offered to you.

Each spring the Committee must select from a well-qualified group of applicants, a limited number to become the fall's entering class. Because there are more applicants than there are places in the class, many qualified applicants cannot be offered admission.

Receiving a letter of non-acceptance is a distressing experience with which I can truly sympathize. However, it can also be the beginning of a new program of commitment to your goals. If you are interested in receiving feedback on your application, please contact the Office of Admissions at (503)494-5291 after June 1, 1995. I would like to thank you for your interest in the Oregon Health Sciences University and which you success in your future academic and professional endeavors.

Respectfully,

May 8, 1995

Dear Mr. Fujinaka,

The admissions Committee has carefully reviewed your application to Jefferson Medical College. The Committee regrets to inform you that we are unable to offer you a place in the 1995 entering class.

We make every effort to interview every good candidate, but the number of applicants to medical school (46,000) and to Jefferson Medical College (11,000) made this impossible.

Please do not consider this action a reflection on your academic ability but rather an indication of the overwhelmingly large applicant pool.

We wish you success in your career and in your efforts to gain admission to another medical school. This difficult and final decision was reached only after a thorough evaluation of your credentials. We wish you success in your career and in your efforts to gain admission to another medical school. Thank you for considering Jefferson Medical College.

Sincerely,

May, 1995

Dear Applicant:

The Committee on Admissions at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine has completed its review of applications. We regret to inform you that we are not able to offer you a place in our 1995 entering class.

This year we received 10,346 applications for the 130 palaces in our First Year Class. Indeed our Committee on Admissions faced a most difficult task in deciding which of the many highly qualified applicants are best suited for the educational programs at Stritch, and we realize that many competent applicants will be unable to gain admission to our institution this year.

We greatly appreciate your interest in our medical school and thank you for your patience during the application process. On behalf of the entire Committee on Admissions, we would like to wish you every success in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

April 26, 1995

Dear HISASHI T FUJINAKA: (a teletyped letter!)

Your application to the School of Medicine has been carefully reviewed by the Committee on Admissions (Meharry Medical College).

The tremendous volume of applications for the limited number of positions available makes it impossible to accept every qualified applicant. Since final selection is based on a composite which includes admissions criteria, supporting credentials submitted for consideration, and an index consistent with the mission of the College, your application did not receive favorable action by the Committee on Admissions.

Please accept our very best wishes in your further career planning.

Very truly yours,

April 27, 1995

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

On behalf of the Medical Student Admissions Committee of the Medical College of Pennsylvania and Hahnemann University School of Medicine, I regret that it will not be possible to offer you a place in the first year class entering in August of 1995.

We thank you for your interest in our medical school and wish you success in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

April 17, 1995

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

The application which you have submitted to the University of Vermont College of Medicine for the class entering in 1995 has recently been reviewed. Unfortunately, we have not received all the necessary supporting documents (ie. response to inquiries, letters of reference and/or supplemental application form). We have finished our interview cycle for the current year and therefore cannot give further consideration to your request for admission in 1995.

I hope that you have been successful in your quest for admission to another medical school.

Please accept my best wishes for your future career, whether in medicine or otherwise.

Yours sincerely,

21 March 1995

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

We are now concluding our preliminary review of applicants to the 1995 entering class and interview scheduling is nearing completion. I regret that we will be unable to interview candidates in the category in which your application has been held.

The decision making process has been especially difficult this year in view of the quality and number of applications we received you may be assured that you were considered to be very well qualified for the study of medicine and our decision is in no way intended to reflect discredit on your fine record of achievement.

We appreciate your interest in the USC School of Medicine and your patience and wish you every success in the fulfillment of your career goals.

Dear Hisashi:

I am writing to share what I believe will be disappointing news. The Admissions Committee of Dartmouth Medical School has considered with care your application for admission. Unfortunately we are unable to offer you a place in our next entering class.

We very much appreciate the time and effort you have spent crafting and compiling your application, and the interest you have shown in DMS. In recent years, we have experienced a huge surge in the number of applications received. Our small entering class size dictates that we must limit our acceptances to a frustratingly small proportion of those seeking acceptance here. I can assure you that your application was considered with thoroughness and care despite this disappointing outcome.

We do hope that you will find the opportunities you seek for medical school and beyond, and appreciate the chance we have had to learn something about you.

Yours sincerely,

February 14, 1995

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

Your application to the Medical School at Northwestern University has been carefully considered by the Committee on Admissions. An evaluation of your application and supplementary data has been made, and we are sorry to advise you that we are unable to offer you a place in the class entering in the Fall.

The Committee regrets that the large number of highly qualified applicants makes it impossible for all of them to be accepted. We hope that you have an opportunity to pursue the study of medicine at another school.

Sincerely,

24 January 1995

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

This is in reply to your letter requesting an age waiver (I was three months too old.) Commissioning standards of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences make issuance of age waivers an exceptional occurrence; therefore I regret to inform you that your request has been denied.

I would suggest that you investigate the Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP), which represents a viable option for an ultimate appointment as a medical corps officer. This program, administered by the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Public Health Service, provides funding for medical education in return for service commitment. Details may be obtained from the HPSP or a medical recruiter.

My sincere wishes for success in your future career.

Sincerely,

January 23, 1995

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

Your application to the Medical College of Wisconsin has been given careful consideration by the Committee on Admissions. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you a place in our entering freshman class.

Each year we receive a large number of applications from highly qualified candidates making the task of selecting a class of 2000 students very difficult. We are, unfortunately, unable to provide specific information regarding the deliberations of the Committee on Admissions in reviewing your application.

Please accept our wish for every success in gaining acceptance to medical school. Thank you for having expressed an interest in the Medical College of Wisconsin.

Sincerely,

March 21, 1994

Dear Mr. Fujinaka,

The Admissions Committee for the Oregon Health Sciences University School of Medicine regrets to inform you that placement in the entering class of 1994 cannot be offered to you.

Each spring the Committee must select from a well-qualified group of applicants, a limited number to become the fall's entering class. Because there are more applicants than there are places in the class, many qualified applicants cannot be offered admission.

Receiving a letter of non-acceptance is a distressing experience with which I can truly sympathize. However, it can also be the beginning of a new program of commitment to your goals. Whether you implement your commitment by channeling your aspirations into other scientific disciplines or by making your credentials even more competitive, I would like to thank you for your interest in the Oregon Health Sciences University and which you success in your future academic and professional endeavors.

Respectfully,

Dear Mr. FUJINAKA

Review of the applications for the class entering the Emory University School of Medicine in 1994 has now been concluded. I regret that the Admissions Committee is unable to consider your application further for this incoming class.

Emory, like other medical schools, had applications from many more highly qualified candidates than we could possibly accommodate. In fact, this year has been the most competitive one in our history with 7,700 initial applications and some 5,000 applicants completing their files in consideration for an interview. Approximately 800 candidates were interviewed for the 100 places available at Emory (50% of the class is selected for Georgia residents). The mean GPA and MCAT's for these candidates were 3.6 with 9's and 10's on the MCAT subtests. We hope and trust that you have received other offers of acceptance in what has been a particularly arduous year for all of us.

Thank you for your interest in Emory and for your patience and understanding during he past several months. I wish you every success in the future.

Sincerely,

February 25, 1994

Dear Hisashi:

Your application for admission to Dartmouth Medical School has been considered with great care. Regretfully, I must tell you that the Admission Committee is not able to off you a place in the next entering class.

We realize that this decision will be a disappointment to you. The enormous number of applications we receive for a relatively small number of places means that many fine candidates cannot be admitted. We do want to assure you that your credentials were considered carefully in relation to other applicants. The selection process at Dartmouth is a careful and thorough one, in all fairness to all applicants.

We sincerely hope you will have the opportunity you seek and we want to wish you well in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

February 23, 1994

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

It is with sincere regret that I write to tell you that the Committee on Admissions has completed its selection of the class entering in September 1994, and has not been able to offer you a place.

Once again, we were most grateful to have received personal applications from so many students with excellent intellectual and personal qualities -- many more than we could accept or even interview.

We thank you for applying to Harvard and we send you our very best wishes for success in your career.

Sincerely,

March 4, 1994

Dear Mr. Fujinaka,

The Committee on Admissions at Washington University School of Medicine has carefully reviewed your application for admission to our 1994 first year class. We will not be able to offer you a position.

Even though we are not able to accept you into our incoming class, we do wish you every success in your future work. I hope that you will consider our fine medical center hospitals when you begin to plan your postgraduate medical education.

Thank you for your interest in Washington University School of Medicine.

Sincerely yours,

February 9, 1994

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

Your complete application and supporting documents have been carefully reviewed by the Committee on Admissions (University of Pennsylvania Medical Center.) The Committee, after deliberation, regrets to inform you that you are not among those to whom we can offer a place in our next first year class.

We are very sorry that your application did not result in an offer of admission. We hope that you will understand that the large number of applicants, as compared to the number of places in the entering class, makes it impossible for the committee to accept many whom we would like to have a s members of our incoming class. I hope that you will be successful in gaining admission to another medical school and that you will have a productive medical career.

Sincerely,

February 03, 1994

Dear Mr. Fujinaka,

We appreciate your interest in the Georgetown University School of Medicine, and wish you well in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

January 24, 1994

DEAR HISASHI,

I REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT THE COMMITTEE ON ADMISSION OF THE CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE HAS FOUND IT NECESSARY TO DECLINE YOUR APPLICATION.

THE LARGE NUMBER OF APPLICANTS, THEIR LEVELS OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, AND THE LIMITED SIZE OF THE CLASS MAKE THIS DECISION NECESSARY.

PLEASE BE ASSURED THAT THE COMMITTEE AND I UNDERSTAND YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT AND WISH THAT THE ADMISSIONS SITUATION COULD ACCOMMODATE MANY MORE APPLICANTS.

WE ALL THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THE CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE.

SINCERELY,

November 2, 1993

Dear Mr. Fujinaka,

The Committee for Admissions has reviewed your AMCAS application to Vanderbilt School of Medicine. Your credentials have been evaluated on the basis of past experience and in relation to current applications. This provides you a decision at the earliest possible date.

The Committee recommended that your application to Vanderbilt not be processed further.

This decision indicates the highly competitive nature or admissions to Vanderbilt and does not reflect upon your qualifications to study medicine successfully. We appreciate your interest in Vanderbilt and hope that your career aims are ultimately achieved.

Cordially,

October 19, 1993

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

The University of North Carolina School of Medicine admits only a few non-residents. Owing to the number or applications received, we are obliged to reject most non-resident applicants (many of them well qualified ) at the initial review.

We have evaluated your AMCAS application, and it is my unpleasant duty to inform you that we do not plan to pursue it further. I have officially notified AMCAS that we will not be offering you a place in our August 1994 entering class.

Thank you for your interest in the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. We wish you success elsewhere.

Sincerely yours,

October 6, 1993

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

The Committee on Admissions (University of Maryland) has asked me to express to you its sincere and deep regret that it was unable to offer you a place in the Class entering the School of Medicine in August, 1994. This decision was made only after a very thorough and meticulous review by the members of the Committee of your application and all credentials submitted in our support. Committee members feel that, overall, your credentials are just not as competitive as those of other applicants whom we will interview this year.

The Committee on Admissions regrets that le to accommodate all qualified applicants and wishes you good luck with your other applications.

Sincerely yours,

September 1, 1993

Dear Mr. Fujinaka:

The Admissions Committee of the University of Washington School of Medicine has considered your application. I am sorry to inform you that we will not be able to offer you a place in next fall's entering class since we only seriously consider residents of Washington, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho.

Applications for the Medical Scientist Training Program are accepted regardless of residence. Although you did not indicate an interest in this program we feel it is only fair to notify you as soon as possible that your record unfortunately also falls below the level of those being seriously considered for the Medical Scientist Training Program.

We commend you for your past achievements and convey our sincere hope that you will be successful in gaining acceptance to another medical school or in fulfilling your aspirations otherwise.

Sincerely,

DEAR MR. FUJINAKA,

The Admissions Committee of the UCSD School of Medicine has completed a review of your preliminary application for admission to the entering class of 1994. The Admissions Committee has decided not to consider your application further. The committee regrets that a large number of the applicants applying to the UCSD School of Medicine are unavoidably turned away because of our limited resources.

The Admissions Committee hopes you will be successful elsewhere in accomplishing your goal to serve in the health professions.

Sincerely,

February 1, 1993

Dear Mr. Fujinaka,

The Admissions Committee for the Oregon Health Sciences University School of Medicine regrets to inform you that placement in the entering class of 1993 cannot be offered to you.

Each year the Committee must select from a large applicant pool, a well-qualified group of applicants to invite for interviews. From this group, a limited number are chosen for the fall's entering class. During the process of prescreening the credentials of all applicants, your application was not selected for an interview invitation.

Receiving a letter of non-acceptance is a distressing experience with which I can truly sympathize. However, it can also be the beginning of a new program of commitment to your goals. Whether you implement your commitment by channeling your aspirations into other scientific disciplines or by making your credentials even more competitive, I would like to thank you for your interest in the Oregon Health Sciences University and which you success in your future academic and professional endeavors.

Dear Mr. Fujinaka,

Todd,

Sorry to have taken so long to get back to you. I wanted to provide you with feedback from the interviewing team's perspective. The team acknowledged your communication skills and saw signs of creativity but felt that your VLSI engineering skills were just too rusty and dated. They were looking for a little better preparation in this area -especially for someone who had prior engineering experience. One other thing that caught people's attention. You're [sic] resume listed C as a programming language you had experience with but during the interview you were unable to demonstrate it. It probably would have been best to leave it off your resume entirely. This was not a deciding factor but did cause some concern.

Recommendation would be for you to look into becoming more current with your VLSI design skills if you are really interested in pursuing this area as a career.

Based on the above we were not able to find a good fit for you in the HP family. I do want to wish you good luck with your career and hope that you enjoy the holidays.

Regards,
