Do most schools send out a rejection email through eras or do some just never let you know if you don't get an interview?

seems like it's about 50% that will send you a rejection letter and 50% that will never send you anything. too much trouble to send out a mass email apparently

Dear ......,

Thank you for your letter rejecting my application for employment with your firm.


I have received rejections from an unusually large number of well qualified organizations. With such a varied and promising spectrum of rejections from which to select, it is impossible for me to consider them all. After careful deliberation, then, and because a number of firms have found me more unsuitable, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your rejection.


Despite your company’s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet with my requirements at this time. As a result, I will be starting employment with your firm on the first of the month.


Circumstances change and one can never know when new demands for rejection arise. Accordingly, I will keep your letter on file in case my requirements for rejection change.


Please do not regard this letter as a criticism of your qualifications in attempting to refuse me employment. I wish you the best of luck in rejecting future candidates.


Sincerely,
