Anyone else here for the sticker?

Applying to College

I don’t know about you guys but all I want is the [insert college name here] sticker for the back of my parents’ car :slight_smile:

<p>Remember to keep your priorities straight. Sticker first, education second.</p>

3

<p>Sticker? what sticker?
stickers fall off and get gross eventually. haha.</p>

4

<p>But they are rewarding while they last... right? Well, for some people anyway. I'm not one of them.</p>

5

<p>you remind me of the kid in the gatekeepers - the bumper sticker test.</p>

6

<p>Decals. Get decals. They're so much nicer than stickers and you can get new ones when your old ones wear out and there won't be any sticky residue.</p>

7

<p>i dont remember what the bumper sticker test was.. (i read the book)</p>

8

<p>I want a decal for my car, but first I need a car.</p>

9

<p>I hate putting bumper stickers on cars....It makes me (or my parents in this case) seem cheap, and it is also abusive to the car.</p>

10

<p>I'll be honest... when applying to top rank schools I totally considered how cool it would be to have the sticker. Of course, it wasn't the only reason, but it'll be a nice perq come the fall :)</p>

11

<p>yeah, just imagine the people driving down your street, looking at your parents car, and going "wow, why can't my kid go to _________"</p>

<p>Ya know... <em>anybody</em> can buy those stickers, guys. With most major universities, you can even buy them online and have them shipped to you!

<p>There! No tuition necesesary. $5.95+S/H is a heck of a lot less expensive than 30K/year! =)</p>

<p>wow, buying a sticker for an elite school for the sake of simply having one is even more of a douchebag move than flaunting the fact that you go to an elite school.</p>

14

<p>ya that's going overboard- i rather be a simple, run-of-the-mill, douchebag</p>

15

<p>That's what McDonald's ought to give out instead of toys with Happy Meals:
"Collect all Ivies!!!"</p>

<p>Heck, no, it's all about the tshirt!!</p>
