The poster has a 4.0 GPA and 165/170/5.0 GRE scores. Not sure if serious. Dang shoulda posted this when it first came up, still recovering from an interview today so practically forgot this thread!

Holes was my sister's favorite book when we were 12. She could recite the first chapter from memory, and when the movie came out, the soundtrack was basically all we listened to haha.

rosali Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 @piglet33 Do itttttt! It's such a good movie! Or, better, read the book! It's one of those that's even better when you read it as an adult (in my opinion, at least).
hippyscientist Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 @rosali yep I've seen the movie so many times and read the book so many times, I just don't have either with me right now. Darn it!

Or they already did, but hated it? I've seen a couple of people post after graduating, saying they did not like the program and wouldn't recommend it to others.
gingin6789 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 presumably the first of many Not a funny one, but I wanted to offer this to whoever posted that: *hugs* stay strong, friend.
TheMonkeyOnMyBack Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Not a rejection but still worth at least an honorable mention. Intergalactic applicant for new program in CMC. Looking to study computers from a critical Hegelian perspective. Notified of interview via Snapchat.

During BBQs (and sometimes dinner, too) we would just eat whole onions. (on the grill, so not exactly raw....)

Before Holes, though, I didn't even think I liked onions haha.

Need Coffee in an IV Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 I liked this one "At least I won't have to deal with football traffic and the judgment stare of touchdown Jesus." Its even funnier when you compare it to the bitter person below them! Lexie16 1
KaySsaem Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 This is old, but sorta funny: Vanderbilt (Peabody) Teaching, Learning And Diversity, PhD (F12) Rejected via Postal Service on 13 Mar 2012 A 13 Mar 2012 report spam I don't know why it took so long to hear from them. It was kind of unpleasant that they kept dragging me on only to hear that I was rejected. I used the rejection letter as toilet paper this morning. Just kidding. I actually used it to pick up my dog's poo. Haha.

Harvard Graduate School Of Education Math Education, PhD (?) Rejected via E-mail on 27 Feb 2009 A 27 Feb 2009 report spam cant even get into the ed school i guess harvard is not going to accept me for anything maybe summer school? Harvard Graduate School Of Education Ed.D, Other (?) Rejected via E-mail on 27 Feb 2009 A 27 Feb 2009 I fart in your general direction! This one is not a rejection or funny, but it made me smile: Harvard Graduate School Of Education Private School Leadership, Masters (S14) Accepted via E-mail on 7 Mar 2014 ♦ A 8 Mar 2014 report spam 3 Applications and 3 Acceptances-Rice, Columbia and then Harvard. I finished my undergrad at 27 years old from an open-admission university (which means from a tragic university in the middle of nowhere that doesn't even have an application and accepts everyone). Therefore, take heart and follow your dream. The only thing limiting you is how much you believe in yourself! emiliajulia 1
