Send a rejection letterStep 1
Choose one of 50 schools and select a rejection.
Step 2
Enter their name and email address. No account is needed.
Step 3
They receive a realistic decision letter addressed to them by name.
Step 4
About five minutes after they open it, a second email explains the joke.

Sincerely,
