grad_wannabe Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 "This applicant was so far down the list she didn't even merit an interview, and so there's no possible way she could be admitted. So, when she calls the department to ask if she's still in the running, we better make sure to tell her "anything can happen."" brokenwindow, mb712 and TXInstrument11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Harvard, not Princeton, not Columbia, not Cornell.....yet they mark American, so I'm prerplexed. Really, Bob, that's actually one of the fifty states? Well, you learn something new every day, I guess. Did we already accept our token non-Ivy? Yes? Well, crap. Reject this no-name then."

HistoryGypsy Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 "Let's see, if we let 'em hang just a few weeks longer, I'll bet we can lower their self-confidence enough to accept WAY lower funding. And then we can all get Keurigs with the money we've saved!" atlremix, TXInstrument11, eastcoastprimate and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
