10 Crazy Stories About How Some People Fail College At The Admissions Stage
Dear readers,
Getting into college is a very stressful experience. There are forms and expenses, some require evidence of extra-curricular activities, and sometimes good grades in school aren’t enough. It comes as no surprise, then, that even the admissions process is a grueling exercise that not everyone survives.
