Funny stuff people put on admissions applications

<p>I saw these in a book (Chicken Soup for the College Soul), so I can't take credit for them, but they're really funny anyway. These are things that people actually put on their applications:</p>

<p>Essays:
-One person wrote about how divorces and seperations are good, because they reduce the need for infidelity.
-Another person wrote that they were applying to such and such college because they wanted to attend a college whose foundation was built on women.
-Someone else wrote that one of their most upsetting experiences in high school was going with other members of PETA for their annual pigeon shoot.</p>

<p>EC's:
-Cooked and served the homeless
-Was on their school's Horror Roll for all of high school</p>

<p>That's all I can remember, since I didn't have enough cash on me to buy the book. Will probabley get it in a few days.</p>
