April Fools...

<p>I just got word that Harvard will be sending admissions decisions all in oversize envelopes.</p>

<p>from who? That's brutal...</p>

<p>Dean Fitz just e-mailed me back!</p>

<p>Most colleges send acceptance packets - often including folders with multiple pages, some of which are to be filled out and returned. Harvard also includes a frameable certificate of admission (though it would be a little ostentatious to frame it), so their packet has to be larger than 8 1/2 x 11.</p>

<p>...</p>

<p>That's just mean.</p>

<p>Mal77, theres no way they would do that to rejectees too.</p>

<p>Guys.....Mal's posts are meant to be funny.</p>

<p>I would try topping them, but I actually can't think of something more hilariously wrong than stringing an applicant along down to the second they read their decision.</p>

<p>If I manage to get into Harvard when the acceptance rate is like 7%, I don't care if it's ostentatious. I'm framing that certificate.</p>

<p>^Right on the fridge with a piece of cellophane tape.</p>

<p>^ How'd you know? ;)</p>

<p>Woman's intuition. ;) ;)</p>

<p>come on, two gag threads in the same week
they are funny though</p>

<p>i'd probably hang that certificate around my neck :P</p>

<p>^Paste it onto a sandwich board? The front could have your cert. and the back could have "Yeah....yeah, I got into Harvard.....wut it do!?"</p>

<p>hmmm.....nice idead
maybe i could add blinking lights and sounds too...</p>

<p><em>goes to the electronics store</em>
and then realizes
hes not into harvard
:P</p>

<p>Speaking of electronics stores in India....are most items imported? (If so, from where?)</p>

<p>well...its a mix really
some of the more popular models are made here....nokia siemens sony samsung LG Dell do have huge plants.....</p>

<p>while the more niche ones.....LCDs, plasmas et all and the more sophisticated computers ( quad core, XPS etc etc)....are imported from china/taiwan</p>

<p>the markets BOOMING so the stuff is getting more and more localised</p>
