Well, I heard of a case where the admission system in a town had a major glitch. The online portal where people were supposed to submit their applications crashed right on the deadline day. People were panicking as they couldn't get their forms in. Some tried to call the admissions office, but the lines were constantly busy. In the end, many had to re - do their applications from scratch and hope that they would still be considered despite the delay.
Perhaps the admissions staff is unhelpful or rude. For example, they might not answer your questions properly or make you feel stupid for asking. They could also lose your application in the process, causing a lot of stress and extra work for you to prove that you did submit it. It's a real nightmare when you're trying to get into a place in town or country and the people in charge of admissions seem to be working against you.
One of my admissions horror stories was when I applied to a very competitive university. I sent in all my documents on time, but they claimed they never received my transcript. I had to go through a lot of hassle with my high school registrar to get another copy sent, and in the end, it was found that the university had misfiled it. It was extremely stressful as I thought my application would be rejected just because of their mistake.
A common one is the late notification. Some students wait for months to hear back from a school, and when they finally do, it's too late to consider other options. For example, a friend of mine was waiting for a decision from a university until August, and by then, most other good schools had filled their seats.
One horror story is when a student had all their application materials in on time, but due to a technical glitch in the college's system, their application was marked as incomplete. They had to scramble to prove that they had submitted everything correctly, which was extremely stressful.
One common element is administrative errors. Like the college losing application documents or making mistakes in data entry. Another is miscommunication. For example, the applicant not getting clear information about requirements. And sometimes, there are issues with the review process, such as important parts of an application being overlooked, as I mentioned before.

There was a student who applied to multiple medical schools. One school sent out an acceptance letter by mistake, only to revoke it later saying it was an error. This put the student in a really difficult situation. They had already declined other offers based on that false acceptance. It was a huge emotional rollercoaster for them.
