college admission horror stories

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.

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.

Sure. A student was promised a certain amount of financial aid by a college. But after accepting the admission, they received a letter saying that there was a mistake and the financial aid was much less. This left the student and their family in a difficult position as they couldn't afford the tuition without the expected aid.

One common theme is administrative errors. Like in the story I mentioned before where the college lost a student's file. Another theme is misinformation, such as students not being informed correctly about requirements.

One common element is miscommunication. For example, the applicant not getting clear instructions about what is required for admission. Another is technical glitches like in the case where an online application fails to submit properly. Also, unforeseen circumstances such as getting sick on the day of an important test or interview often feature in these stories.

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.

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, there was a case where a student thought they had met all the requirements for admission to a certain university. But then they found out at the last minute that there was an additional, unadvertised test they were supposed to take. They had no time to prepare and unfortunately didn't get in. It was really unfair and a big disappointment for them.

A common horror story is the financial aspect during the admission process. There was a student who thought they had enough financial aid lined up for med school. But at the last minute, the funding source fell through. They then had to scramble to find other options while still waiting for admission decisions. In terms of the application process itself, I've heard of a situation where a student's application was rejected because they used the wrong font. It seems so trivial, but it made their application look unprofessional to the admissions committee. There are also stories of students being rejected because they didn't answer one optional question in the application, which the committee took as a lack of attention to detail.

A common one is about the cost. The fees for the bar admission process in Florida can be exorbitant. This includes application fees, exam fees, and fees for various other requirements. For some, it becomes a financial burden, especially if they have to retake the exam or face additional requirements.
