<p>What if I put Allison as my top choice and for the other 4 choices I put residential colleges, but for the essay questions regarding residential colleges I put stupid answers to make sure they don't put me in one of the 4 residential colleges and they have to put me in Allison????......................would that work???</p>
<p>any help???</p>
<p>You might just not get put in any of the 5 and get put in somewhere else.</p>
<p>Exactly. That would probably backfire. You are not at all guaranteed to get your top 5, so if you deliberately screw your RC apps, Allison is a VERY popular dorm and you very well might not get it.</p>
<p>You also might be shooting yourself in the foot by not filling those four spaces with dorms you could actually see yourself in. It's silly to set your heart on Allison -- word on the street says it's highly coveted, and I'm sure there are some good alternatives if you open up to them. :)</p>
<p>Don't screw up your res college apps. There are plenty of good options besides Allison out there -- consider Willard or Elder. Found this guide, if you need some inspiration: </p>
<p>Willard is pretty similar to Allison, at least enough so that if you're in love with Allison, you should like Willard</p>
