Thank you for considering me as an eligible candidate, and congratulations witfor having such a high number of applicants. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend your school this year because I received your invitation too late. As I mentioned in my previous email, I had a deadline fromwith another school. I was afraid to miss my last chance because I couldid not yet know about the good knews from you . Due to this, I accepted the proposal of anthe other school the last hour before the deadline.
