My cousin got her colege interviewer pretty good.
My grandma was a college professor. My cousin's father was Persian, so she has very different facial features and skin tone.
She applied to grandma's school, and got an interview. She showed the letter to our grandma who recognized the interviewer as one of her grad students, who had a part time job in admissions. The interviewer's first question was do you have any family in the states?
my cousin said she did, and that the grad student should come to dinner at professor <last name's> house and meet the the family. After that sunk in, she asked if grandma had ever invited her for dinner. When she said she hadn't had the pleasure, my cousin made a sour face and said 'oh no, she must not like you very much- she invites all her grad students over for dinner, at least the one she likes!
Sounds like a good way to get rejected!
This. Being sassy towards the person who decides on your application isn't so much "getting back at them" as it is a self-own.
But (hate to be that guy) it's likely fine, because this really doesn't sound like a story that happened at all.
