Tricksy False
May 30th, 2009
I was looking through MBA application websites for no reason whatsoever the other day (A grain going to bschool? Ludicrous!) and came upon the most clever method of screening out poor applicants that I had seen in awhile.
Under the “how did you hear about us?” section, the unnamed bscool listed several options typical to a question of this type, in which the intelligent user would select the ones to indicate that he was both legacy and a minority. However, this bschool also listed an additional option towards the bottom just to throw off the more green of applicants.
Clever, Unnamed bschool! Very clever! To see how many twits would fall for this simple yet elegant trap is genius indeed. I commend you on your bold stance towards the more incompetent of online communities and the idea that someone could be convinced to apply to bschool in 144 characters or less, as well as your efficient methods for disbursing with applicants who select that option, who i can only assume are blacklisted from the school forever! That’ll teach them, damn millennials.





does this mean i shouldn’t have told penn med school that i found out about them on facebook?

i really think admitting that you’re a cow was the bigger mistake there.
