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.
A girl applied to a college and in the 'Why do you want to come to this college?' part, she wrote that she had a dream where the college mascot told her she had to come there. It was so silly but the college liked her honesty and sense of humor and admitted her.
One horror story is when a student's application was lost. They sent it in well before the deadline, but the college claimed they never received it. The student had to scramble to resend everything, and in the end, they were put on a waiting list instead of getting a direct admission.
In the world of college admissions, the main factors considered are educational background, achievements, and potential for growth. Erotica has no role to play in this. Colleges admit students based on their intellectual capabilities and suitability for the academic environment. There is no such thing as an 'erotica - related college admission story' in the proper sense of college admissions.
Well, the college admission scandal was a huge mess. There were people like actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin involved. They paid big bucks to get their kids into prestigious schools. The scheme included faking test scores and creating false athletic profiles for the kids. It really shook the public's trust in the integrity of the college admission process. Colleges had to re - evaluate their security and screening procedures as a result.
There was this classmate who was always in a hurry. One day, he ran into the wrong classroom thinking it was our English class. He sat down, took out his books, and started answering the roll call. It was only when the teacher started teaching math that he realized his mistake. He turned so red and quickly left, which was hilarious.
Once, my roommate thought it would be funny to hide all my left shoes. I was running late for class and couldn't find any of them. When I finally found them in the microwave (of all places), we both had a great laugh.
It's likely quite competitive. Since it's an MFA in a specific and popular field like science fiction, many aspiring writers would be vying for a spot. The number of available places is probably limited compared to the number of applicants.
One main aspect was bribery. Parents paid to get their kids into college. Another was the false representation of students' abilities, like fake athletic achievements. Also, there was cheating in standardized tests.
