Just one final thought on this whole fiasco. I've worked in fundraising for a few years, and I can't count the number of times I've sent out letters with someone elses name on it.
The point is, every single time we do that, we get explicit approval from the person whose name is on the letter with regard to the content and the recipients of whatever we're sending.
But on the other hand, she seems to be handling it with all the class in the world. She screwed up, and she is taking responsibility for it. And I bet they're making sure this never happens again. We've all screwed up before, so try and have a little empathy.

Ok guys, let us leave the issue here. let us accept that some thing terribly wrong happened with some of us. this was definitely not Beth's fault but she has shown good leadership example by owning up some one else's mistake and taking pains to talk to each one of the applicant.
I also empathize with the applicants with whom this happened. the agony to face, when you find your self on a high and then tell every one including family and friends and then to say sorry I got dinged is really painful. But B school application process itself is an exercise in it self and you learn to know yourself and so - are you getting carried away by it or have the ability to take failures in your strides? I know it is easier said then done, but its an occasion to show your character and temperament and who knows if you talk to Beth and tell her that the episode has been an embarrassment to you but you are still committed and quite passionate about Kellogg and if not this time, will work hard and will be there again next year, Probably you will be better off, just my cents.
peace . No joining the issue on this count!
