March and April are the two months where high school seniors and hopeful transfers begin to hear back from colleges. Each student hopes to hear that they have been accepted to the schools they applied to but as anyone who has gone through the process knows, that is not always the case. This year, Suffolk University has taken a blunt and upfront approach regarding its decisions on applicants. The school’s approach has been pretty simple: if an applicant has been accepted, they receive a letter in the mail with yellow letters on the outside that read “#SuffolkSaidYes.” If the applicant didn't get in, the outside reads “#SuffolkSaidNO” written in red letters. “It’s just not nice. Being rejected is harsh enough, why is our school choosing to rub it in when mailing those poor college kids?" said Suffolk sophomore Churrita Chan. You see that? It says NO!...
