Funny college admission stories. Share some, please.
There was this student who wrote his admission essay entirely in rhymes. He rhymed about his academic achievements, his dreams, and his love for the college. The admission committee was initially taken aback but then they were so amused by his creativity that they admitted him. They said it was like reading a really fun poem instead of a regular, boring essay. And it made their day to see such a unique approach.
A friend of mine once applied to a college where the admission form had a question about what you would do if you could be invisible for a day. He wrote a really long and detailed story about how he would sneak into the college library's restricted section to read all the old, rare books. The admission team thought it was so funny and showed his passion for knowledge in an unexpected way, so they admitted him.
One of the funniest college admission stories I've heard was about a guy who accidentally sent his application video for a cooking show instead of his college admission essay video. The admissions officers were really confused at first but then found it so hilarious that they actually called him to ask about it and ended up admitting him because they thought he had a great sense of humor.

What are some college admission horror stories?

Share some funny college tutoring stories.
I was tutoring a group of students in chemistry. One of them accidentally mixed up the chemicals in a really strange way. Instead of the expected reaction, there was a small puff of colored smoke.

There was a college team where the coach was known for his strict rules. One day, a player accidentally showed up to practice wearing the wrong color socks. The coach made him run laps around the court while singing the school anthem. The whole team couldn't stop laughing, and it became a running joke for the rest of the season.
Share some funny college procrastinator stories.
There was this one time when a student had to prepare a presentation. He procrastinated until the last minute. He quickly threw together some slides with the most random pictures he could find on his phone. When he presented, he had to make up the most hilarious explanations on the spot to connect those pictures to the topic, like saying a picture of his lunch was related to historical events because it had the same colors as the flag of a certain country at that time.
Share some ISB admission success stories.
One success story is of a candidate who had extensive work experience in the corporate world. He focused on highlighting his leadership roles in various projects during his application. He also had a great GMAT score which added to his profile. His essays were well - crafted, clearly stating his career goals and how an ISB education would help him achieve them. He got admitted and it was a dream come true for him.

Sure. There was this one time in my college when a group of students decided to have a water balloon fight in the quad. They filled hundreds of balloons, but just as they were about to start, the campus security showed up. The students tried to act nonchalant, hiding the balloons behind their backs. It was hilarious to see their guilty faces.
