Home to Texas I go... Joining TJ's Dear John series (buried at the very bottom of the page):

Brooke,

Thanks again for applying for the summer intern position. Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that you were not
selected for the position. As I mentioned in our interview, there was tremendous interest in the position and thus
I had the difficult decision to select only one of ten very qualified applicants.

I do want you to know that you interviewed great and I was put in the tough position of choosing who would best
be able to work in the Admission Office for the entire summer. Please realize that you ARE one of our best
tour guides, and I do feel badly that I wasn't able to hire you. There was simply too many qualified applicants!

Best of luck with obtaining your internship at the White House! (who turned me down yesterday)

Sincerely,

Bernie Burrola
Admission Counselor
Claremont McKenna College
