Wow! This book is rad.
A fellow dumpstered a bunch of grad school applications and compiled them into this small tome. Each two page spread includes a late 6os/early 70s era photo and some information that the interviewers wrote about the person in the picture.
It makes me wonder what has been said about me as I've gone through countless application processes.

There wasn't much to this. Based on other reviews I was expecting to laugh a bit more often than I did. I would have probably liked this if we could have read more of the reference letters instead of just the one-liners that the editor picked out.
