The first thing I do when reached office today is reading and signing outstanding letters...took a day off last thursday due to flu and fever...interestingly among those letters I found one interesting...a letter of appeal from an MBA student...funnily attached to his letter is a letter from the member of
parliament using an official letter head supporting his application without
knowing the procedures, rules and regulation of the university...worst he
copied the letter to the respective
Minister...the student was given a conditional offer letter...to take GMAT exam within 6 months after his registration due to his lack of work experience (3 years minimum required)...we have been flexible at that time by giving him the conditional OL which we no longer do...he agreed, registered but didn't take the exam as required...and now he is asking for exemption....using a political hand...academic is academic...rules must be understood, observed and complied...no exception...wonder why such a matured postgraduate student needs to involve a member of parliament
to solve a small matter...come on...said we're moving into a developed
country soon with first class mentality...what a joke...my response remains the same...take the GMAT test...that is the contract
