How the Harvard University letter prank works

College Decision Simulator emails your friend a link to a realistic Harvard University admission decision, either an acceptance or a rejection, addressed to them by name and set on formal university-style stationery.

About five minutes after they open it, a second email explains that the letter was a prank. The decision is fictional, and this site is not affiliated with Harvard University.
