6

<p>That's hilarious.....:P Had to read this thread.</p>

7

<p>lol omg dude just gimme chances</p>

8

<p>This is so funny, especially with THE princeton LOL</p>

9

<p>There is a joke told by Brown admission officers that you shouldn't spell "Brown" Y-a-l-e in your Brown application essay. Take that as advice.</p>

10

<p>Admission officers at Columbia tell the same joke, except the punchline is Stanford.</p>

11

<p>wow. they must get a LOT of laughs.</p>

<p>(after visiting about 94752072 colleges they must realize that EVERY STUDENT HAS HEARD THAT about 0283709240236 times.)</p>

12

<p>I think the joke about some student sending admissions a shoe and claiming they now "have one foot in the door" gets told more times than this one.</p>

13

<p>Harvard admission officers don't need to tell jokes like that in public meetings.</p>

14

<p>All schools fear their competitors.</p>

15
