Angry Junior Blows Off College Spam, Gets Acceptance Letter
Reading Time: 1 minute
Junior Tahmid Jamal appears to have discovered a new tactic for getting into more colleges: sending snarky replies to their spam e-mails.
“I was up really late, having not slept for seven days because I was studying for my next science mini quiz. When I refreshed my e-mail, it was full of college spam,” Jamal says. Like any typical junior would, he began marking them all as read, when he came across five Harvard e-mails in a row.
“I could tell they were mocking me! So I did the logical thing by closing my e-mail account, crying for half an hour, clicking on the first e-mail that popped up, and writing back.”
Inspection of Jamal’s e-mail account reveals the following e-mail was sent from his address at 4:20 a.m.
Many students remain stunned by Jamal’s easy acceptance to the university, but no others have succeeded using his trick yet. However, in the past several days, college spam e-mails have dropped in frequency from one in every two e-mails in a junior’s inbox to one in every one hundred, for unknown reasons.
