I know this thread is about crazy undergrad admissions stories, not graduate school, but I still think it’s interesting. I know a guy who applied to MBA programs, and got admitted to the MIT LFM Program (the joint Sloan MBA + Master’s of Science in Engineering program), the Northwestern MMM program (joint MBA from Kellogg + Master’s of Engineering Management), Stanford Graduate School of Business, Harvard Business School, and the Haas School of Business at UCBerkeley. He also got waitlisted at the Executive MBA program at UPenn Wharton (no, not the regular Wharton MBA program, but the higher-end Executive Wharton MBA program).

He got outright rejected from the Yale School of Management.

If you don’t understand why that is ridiculous, just take a look at the rankings of those respective schools.
