LOL!!! He was extremely harsh to INSEAD - I loved it. Canegie Mellon was also brutal.

But the ones I like the most are NYU/LBS questions :)

Excellent post.

I want to bump this because I really needed the laugh this week, and I'm sure some of you folks do too.

Who needs all those pricey school guides? Who needs to mine a school website for rare nuggets of information that the other 9203948029000 applicants haven't already mentioned in their essays? I swear this list says just about everything you need to know.

Wow, I really needed this. I'm sitting here at work trying not to laugh too loudly so people don't ask what I'm looking at...I'm in tears (probably because of a combination of actually being funny and a delusional exhaustion).
