One of the funniest college rejection stories I've heard was about a guy who sent in his application with a really creative but completely off - topic essay. He wrote about his adventures in training his pet squirrel instead of something related to academics or his goals. Needless to say, he got rejected, but his story has been passed around as a humorous cautionary tale among students applying to college.
There was a student who accidentally submitted a video of himself doing a really goofy dance as his 'personal statement' video. He thought he was uploading a proper academic video, but due to a technical glitch, the wrong one went through. The college admissions office must have been very confused when they saw it, and of course, he was rejected. It's a story that makes you laugh but also feel bad for the poor guy.
Well, there was this instance where a man tried to give a love letter to a woman he liked at work. He put it in her mailbox at the office. However, she thought it was from a creepy client and reported it to HR without even reading it. He was quite embarrassed when he found out.
One funny rejection story is about an author who sent a manuscript about a talking cat that solves mysteries. The publisher rejected it saying 'We already have enough cat detectives in our lineup.' It was so absurd as each cat detective could be unique.
There was this applicant who wrote an entire essay about how much he hated studying but still wanted to go to college just for the parties. He was brutally honest, which might seem refreshing at first, but it's not exactly what colleges are looking for. His rejection was expected, and his story has been told as a humorous example of what not to do in a college application. This story also highlights the importance of understanding the purpose of a college application essay.
Sure. One time in college, my roommate was so tired from studying all night that he fell asleep during an exam. The professor noticed and gently tapped his desk to wake him up. My roommate, still half - asleep, blurted out 'Just five more minutes, Mom!' Everyone in the class couldn't stop laughing.
Sure. There was this one time in my college when a group of students decided to have a water balloon fight in the quad. They filled hundreds of balloons, but just as they were about to start, the campus security showed up. The students tried to act nonchalant, hiding the balloons behind their backs. It was hilarious to see their guilty faces.
Sure. One of my friends accidentally sent his application essay full of typos because his cat jumped on the keyboard right before he clicked submit. Another story is about a student who wrote an entire essay about how he was inspired by his love for pizza to study business, thinking outside the box in a really funny way.
I heard about a college freshman who was so excited for his first college party. He dressed up all fancy. But when he got there, he realized it was a costume party and he was the only one not in a costume. He tried to play it cool but ended up being the center of jokes all night.
Sure. Once in my biology class, the professor was trying to explain the concept of evolution. He made some really funny gestures imitating how early humans might have walked. Everyone was laughing so hard that we almost forgot we were in class.
Well, there was this girl in my college. She had a crush on a senior. One day, she saw him at the cafeteria and wanted to say hi. But she got so flustered that she walked right into a pillar while looking at him. Everyone around had a good laugh, and the senior actually came over to check if she was okay, which made her crush on him grow even more.
Well, at a college frat party, there was this guy who got really drunk. He started dancing like there was no tomorrow, and then he accidentally bumped into the DJ table and knocked over a bunch of CDs. The DJ was mad at first but then couldn't help but laugh at how clumsy he was.
