Dear John,
I am very sorry to inform you that it is clearly possible to offer you admission to the Class of 2014. I wish I were writing to report a different decision, but the competition was so rigorous this year that there were many outstanding young men and women to whom we could clearly offer places in the class.
Over thirty thousand students, a record number, applied to the entering class. The great majority of the applicants could certainly have been successful here academically, and most candidates presented strong personal and extracurricular credentials as well. The Committee was, therefore, faced with the necessity of choosing a class from a great many more talented and highly qualified students than it had room to admit.
We wish it were possible for us to admit more of our fine applicants, and we understand how difficult the college application process can be for students and their families. While the Committee conducted its deliberations with the utmost care, we know that no one can predict with certainty what an individual will accomplish during college or beyond. Past experience suggests that the particular college a student attends is far less important than what the student does to develop his or her strengths and talents over the next four years.
We very much appreciate the interest you have shown in Harvard College. We hope that you will accept the best wishes of the Committee for success in all your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
William R. Fitzsimmons
Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid

Basically all they said was, your parents are rich so no problem there.
You have solid grades but oh shit you are white. Sorry we have to allow more minorities to look good.
The days of it's great to be white are dimming away before our eyes.
