[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many years ago, an applicant who was denied admission to his first choice school (Yale University), pitched a tent outside of the admissions office demanding that he be admitted. Garnered student support & national publicity & he was admitted to Yale.[/quote]

I heard of a janitor at MIT that solved highly complex math problems that none of the students could solve.  Believe he was admitted directly into their graduate program.[/quote]

Interesting. Please tell us more.[/quote]

You are not serious...are you?

These kinds of things happen all the time.  I also know a homeless man that was pulled off the streets by one of the top Philadelphia trading firms and ended up becoming one of their star employees.  He made a fortune in commodities trading...specifically, frozen orange juice contracts (and pork bellies to some extent).[/quote]

LOL. Trading Places is still hysterical. Completely inappropriate by 2023 standards, but hysterical. [/quote]
