Posted on a rejection from Princeton. 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! But I chuckled speaking of, anyone see excerpts of his Sarah Palin endorsement? L. O. L. ?

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.

Need Coffee in an IV Posted January 24, 2016 Share 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."

KaySsaem Posted January 24, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fucking letter on the site wasn't even finished. Like they couldn't wait to send me the rejection. Who sends out a letter of rejection and leaves it hanging in mid-sentence. Fucking assholes. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
