“Speaking of the first order of business, accepted applicants need to

Ateneo explains that
the said Tweet must be understood to mean that they are inviting applicants to
get to know the university a little better and “consider their own context and
plans instead of automatically jumping in.”
The discriminating remark, “We’re not for
everyone,” drew the ire of Twitter, prompting the university to issue a public
apology.
“We framed and phrased this poorly and regret ending with such a
tone-deaf sentence. The casual callousness of our reply reflects, quite badly,
on how we've let generations of elitism and privilege get to our heads. We hear
you and we thank you for calling us out. We can only promise that we are
working to do better and be better,” the Ateneo posted on Twitter.
“We were quite thoughtless and arrogant there, and regret not thinking it
through,” it added.
