What are some of the best admission stories?

I know of a student who grew up in a rural area with limited educational resources. However, they were extremely curious and made use of every single book they could get their hands on. They even started a small study group in their village. In their admission application, they talked about their thirst for knowledge and how they had tried to make the best of their situation. The university, impressed by their initiative, admitted them. It's a story that shows that your background doesn't have to limit you in the admission process.

One horror story is when a student's application was lost. They sent it in well before the deadline, but the college claimed they never received it. The student had to scramble to resend everything, and in the end, they were put on a waiting list instead of getting a direct admission.

A common horror story is the financial aspect during the admission process. There was a student who thought they had enough financial aid lined up for med school. But at the last minute, the funding source fell through. They then had to scramble to find other options while still waiting for admission decisions. In terms of the application process itself, I've heard of a situation where a student's application was rejected because they used the wrong font. It seems so trivial, but it made their application look unprofessional to the admissions committee. There are also stories of students being rejected because they didn't answer one optional question in the application, which the committee took as a lack of attention to detail.

One success story is of a candidate who had extensive work experience in the corporate world. He focused on highlighting his leadership roles in various projects during his application. He also had a great GMAT score which added to his profile. His essays were well - crafted, clearly stating his career goals and how an ISB education would help him achieve them. He got admitted and it was a dream come true for him.

An admission novel could refer to a novel that deals with the theme of admission. For example, it might be about a character's admission to a school, a club, or a certain group. It could explore the process, the challenges, and the emotions associated with getting admitted.

One common theme is administrative errors. Like in the story I mentioned before where the college lost a student's file. Another theme is misinformation, such as students not being informed correctly about requirements.

One common element is miscommunication. For example, the applicant not getting clear instructions about what is required for admission. Another is technical glitches like in the case where an online application fails to submit properly. Also, unforeseen circumstances such as getting sick on the day of an important test or interview often feature in these stories.

One success story is about John. He had a mediocre GPA but an outstanding LSAT score. He also wrote a very personal and engaging statement about his journey from a small town to aspiring to be a lawyer to make a difference. His strong letters of recommendation from his professors, who highlighted his determination and critical thinking skills, helped him get into a top law school.

Well, there was a case where a student thought they had met all the requirements for admission to a certain university. But then they found out at the last minute that there was an additional, unadvertised test they were supposed to take. They had no time to prepare and unfortunately didn't get in. It was really unfair and a big disappointment for them.

Sure. One admission horror story I know is about a student who applied to a very prestigious university. They thought they had all their paperwork in order, but at the last minute, they found out that their recommendation letter was never sent because of a technical glitch in the system. They tried to get it sorted out quickly, but the university's admission office was unresponsive. In the end, they missed out on that admission opportunity.
