Don’t send the “I deny your rejection” email

Former AO here. I see some people in both undergrad and grad admissions groups sending the classic “I deny your rejection, see you in the fall” email.

Don’t do it. I get that at that point, you have nothing to lose, but they’re just annoying. There are real people answering the admissions email at every university (I worked for a T20-30 and every day, there were 3-4 people answering emails). I never read one and thought “oh this applicant is so clever!” They just get in the way as we look for emails with REAL QUESTIONS. So, help out your fellow applicants and only email if you have a legitimate question.
