Applying to College

LOL!

"With no one admitted to the class of 2020, Stanford is assured that no other school can match its desirability in the near future.

“We had exceptional applicants, yes, but not a single student we couldn’t live without,” said a Stanford administrator who requested anonymity. “In the stack of applications that I reviewed, I didn’t see any gold medalists from the last Olympics — Summer or Winter Games — and while there was a 17-year-old who’d performed surgery, it wasn’t open-heart or a transplant or anything like that. She’ll thrive at Yale.”

Every time it’s posted, I’m further convinced this article is going to be shared on CC for years to come.

What’s funny, yet telling, is that some outlets didn’t realize it was satire.

I could’ve done without the 6 paragraphs in the middle, but the rest (the stanford stuff) was funny.

Au contraire. I think this article would be greatly diminished without details on Wharton: The Fragrance or Brown’s new Kale-based application.
