grad_wannabe Posted February 20, 2015 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, TXInstrument11 and mb712 3
smcg Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 "He really doesn't seem a good fit. Waitlist him for 3 weeks then set up an interview. 2 weeks later send out a generic rejection." *Diabolical laughter* mb712 1

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."

Page228 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 "Are we done yet?" "...George, you've looked at two applications." "Ugh. Where should we call for lunch?"
Amayan Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 "Hey, wait a minute - Bob, this application is from you." "I miss being a student." "Dr. Bobberts, you already graduated." "Yeah, but I'm really good at it." ... "Get me off this committee and I swear I'll make you proud." atlremix and TXInstrument11 2
W.Churchill Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Dr. Bob Bobberts? If I knew how to like posts on the mobile version I would give you all the likes, Amayan.
dpowe003 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 "Let's make our applicants feel like they're in another bad relationship by saying great things to them in email correspondence, which we will always reply to that same day, but then after a while let's stop answering and leave them hanging!"

HistoryGypsy Posted February 24, 2015 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!" TXInstrument11, eastcoastprimate, ivmeow and 1 other 4
