Darn.

USC's Gould School of Law regrets to inform me that they have considered the students on their waitlist against the number of recently-opened slots and cannot offer me admission this year. I got the message to this effect this week.

Know what? I think I'll live. What I don't know is if it would have been more hilarious if they'd offered me a spot; I certainly would have had fun crafting my reply.

I remember once hearing of a story (possibly apocryphal) of a man who applied for a position in HR for a major company, then got the job informally (skipping the interview process, etc.) due to connections in the company. Three months in he got an official rejection letter from the company for his application, which explained that they did not feel he was qualified for the position. Looking more closely, he saw that he had signed it.

I hope this is true, because it's a wonderful indictment of bureaucracy if it is.
