<p>TPBM thinks this thread reminds him/her of the TPBM thread.</p>
<p>colleges will actually care that your great-aunt's stepbrother's neighbor's best friend is 1/16th native american.</p>

<p>false regarding the native american. lol</p>
<p>colleges only like to admit legacies when the alum is actually rich or likely to contribute to the school</p>

<p>If you include a score of 3 or 4 on an AP exam, you will get rejected from Caltech.</p>
<p>false ;)</p>
<p>aliens (the kind on mars) are considered international students</p>
<p>false? (unless you can give me some sort of proof of life.</p>
<p>Not doing the optional essay for an application puts you at a disadvantage.</p>
<p>false. I consider it like NMS. It's great if you have it, but it doesn't hurt you either. :D</p>

<p>Being an upper-middle class, white male puts you at a disadvantage for college admissions to highly selective schools.</p>

<p>sending in a porn video featuring yourself is a good way to get the adcoms interested in your application</p>

<p>Having a wide range of sexual abilities helps you get into college?</p>

<p>you could apply as a freshman to a college 2 years in a row and get accepted one year and get rejected the next even if you had the exact same application just on arbitary stuff</p>
<p>true... the applicant pool is always changing. also, the adcoms' views can change too</p>

<p>being rejected isn't always a bad thing</p>

<p>If you are valedictorian, you will get in everywhere you apply.</p>
