Can you share some funny college rejection stories?
One of the funniest college rejection stories I've heard was about a guy who sent in his application with a really creative but completely off - topic essay. He wrote about his adventures in training his pet squirrel instead of something related to academics or his goals. Needless to say, he got rejected, but his story has been passed around as a humorous cautionary tale among students applying to college.
There was a student who accidentally submitted a video of himself doing a really goofy dance as his 'personal statement' video. He thought he was uploading a proper academic video, but due to a technical glitch, the wrong one went through. The college admissions office must have been very confused when they saw it, and of course, he was rejected. It's a story that makes you laugh but also feel bad for the poor guy.
