Just like Rhyme, I'm losing it!!!! [#permalink] New post   Updated on: 08 Jan 2008, 11:11
Well its 3:22 a.m. can't get a wink of sleep coz I just realised I had a typo in one of my submitted applications.

But I just had to share this. I read Rhyme's MBA journey while frantically searching all webspaces for the result of having typos in B-school applications and as if Rhyme's post wasn't funny enough, I came across these typos reported by Adcoms and thought I'd share the jokes. Somebody else like me might desperately need a laugh:

Scroll down to the bottom and you'll find what may very well be historic typos!

:-D :-D Really good post Columbia08. I had a few typos in one of my application essays, but don't feel so bad after reading your post.

Hey Clobo, You may want to read this on an Accepted.com blog. It really consoled me.

I found it on the net. We can have a Humor page with links rather than re-publishing everything.

Those are very very funny...

Especially liked - "I look at each stage as a challenge, and an adventure, and as another experience on my step ladder of life. "

Step ladder.. nice..
