<p>and also, if they see through the rest of your application that you're a quirky person, then maybe they would see the lollipop as a quirky thing too</p>
<p>Here is why I think it is slightly in bad taste:
1. it is immature
2. it is mildly perverted
3. you motives could be considered questionable
4. it looks like you are trying to be interesting
5. it reminds me of going someplace fancy in jeans and a tshirt
6. they are probably already sick of office candy
7. they might roll their eyes
Here is why I think it doesn't matter:
1. It is not going to affect your chances [period]</p>
<p>who knows you might be considered eccentric....</p>
<p>ahhahha... who has created this supplementary candy for the admission package? hahahha</p>
<p>ummmmm..........me :p</p>
<p>i would be happy if someone gave me some candy. it would give me more incentive to read the application more thoroughly.</p>
<p>i was hoping this wouldn't make two pages</p>
<p>nothing else left to talk about after we sent our stuff out.</p>
<p>I doubt the adcoms will even see or hear about the lollipop. The people who open and sort out the application are not the same people that actually read the application. Once it has been removed from the envelope, I believe they just throw it out -- and would probably discard of the lollipop as well.</p>
<p>If you guys want to hear an even more ridiculous story...</p>
<p>When I was applying as a freshman to Dartmouth, I not only sent an 11-page letter to the dean of admissions after getting rejected, I sent yet another letter to the office when they rerejected me. In addition, I sent flowers to the office and let's see what else...oh right! I sent a letter to the home address of the dean.</p>
<p>Now THAT'S insane. </p>
<p>I have since matured. And no longer do things for kicks.</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>so, why didn't you send money?</p>
<p>lol, I wasn't that stupid.</p>
<p>Plus I'm broke.</p>
<p>Not like someone donating money, and getting another in is really any less of a bribe than putting money in one's envelope...</p>
<p>janel89... did you really send flowers? wow..</p>
<p>Oh yeah, totally, and they were huge. The biggest bouquet I could find from 1800flowers.com.</p>
<p>It was that serious huh? How did you manage to get the home address of the Dean of Admissions?</p>
<p>I guess no response from them huh?</p>
<p>.......huh?</p>
<p>I looked it up in the white pages. There was only one Karl Furstenburg in all of New Hampshire, I figured that was him. </p>
<p>What happened, you ask. The package was returned to me with "return to sender" written in a large black marker across the front of it. I take it that he never opened it. Ha.</p>
<p>Gosh! That's a waste of 37 cents.</p>
<p>Oh it was more than 37 cents...I overnighted the puppy and I think it as around 15 bucks actually.</p>
