This is a very old article and I’m sure it’s been discussed here before, but reading this made me feel sick. I understand that admissions to Ivies, etc. are becoming somewhat random. But the adcom of the Northeast state school seems like a fucking asshole…how unprofessional and childish is it to reject applicants because you “don’t like” the region they’re from? What a fucking cunt!
I also think that the author took some artistic license when writing this as it seems that two adcoms got food poisoning in Buffalo (unlikely to happen in real life).
Where is the link to the article?
Scary, isn’t it? Yes, they are just human, and a lot of them not the cream of the crop like the kids they are judging. Also, they have their whims and prejudices. Most of the time, they try to be professional,and every admissions office puts in standards and checks so that too much damage isn’t done by some of those with low integrity.
