"It is an interesting question. Had Hitler received this letter and attended art school, would he have been involved in politics? He certainly became bitter after he assumed he was rejected. So to what extent was history changed by fate? Interesting question.

Well... What did it say?
Did they advise him that he wasn’t cut out to be an artist, and he should take over most of Europe, North Africa, part of Russia, and kill Jews instead?

I son got his scholarship to Art school after the Army, and he never became a Hitler, so you could have something here.

He proved he was better suited to be a dictator than an artist; although each, in the end, resulted in failure.

That whole World War I thing probably had more to do with Hitler becoming Hitler than this did.

That whole World War I thing probably had more to do with Hitler becoming Hitler than this did. Being of military age--25--when the war broke out, he would have served in the military, so art school might not have made much of a difference.

Call me skeptical.
The website implies acceptance, but does not so state. Why not?

Had Hitler received this letter and attended art school, would he have been involved in politics? Consider how many artists do become involved in radical politics. I doubt it would have prevented very much.
I am wondering on a much smaller scale, though, if he might have become a decent artist with a little training. His stuff isn't hard to find. Painfully conventional, even stilted, composition, and rarely does he pull off a passable human being, although one of his sketches of an old woman seems promising.
I don't know if you'd call it "fate" but odd circumstances do sometimes put some rather disturbed people in positions of power. Our current President is a case in point. And whatever else you can say about Hitler, he certainly was "transformative".

I recently saw some images of Nazi Germany at it's height in the 30’s. Truly eery. The Romanesque architecture, the ceremonies lit by vats of burning oil, giant bronze eagles rearing over all...There was a marked pagan vibe to it all.

There was a marked pagan vibe to it all. That's because it was pagan.

He probably would have still dropped everything he was doing to eagerly enlist in the army at the outbreak of WWI.

I strongly doubt the letter will hold up to forensic scrutiny

K.U.K Academy of Fine Arts
Rector’s Office
Mr. Siegman L’Allemand
3 Shiller Place
Vienna, Austria
Mr.
Adolf Hitler
31 Humbold Street
Linz, Austria
Vienna, the 2nd of October 1907
In regards to: Your application, Number 54/1907
Dear Mr. Adolf Hitler,
We hereby inform you, that our decision to your inclusion in to the K.U.K. Academy of Fine Arts field painting has been given.
The Justification Commission: The sample painting presented by you (artwork title: Landscape With Only Heads) impressed us by your unconventional style, but in your art you put contours where they are not necessary and select colors that are not appropriate. The perfect randomness that radiates from your work let us doubt that you are the right person to expand your horizons at our academy at the moment.
Signed:
The Chairman of the Committee
Professor Christian Griepenkerl
(Please correct any mis-translations!)
