How far would you go to get into your top choice?

<p>ew, such a perv.
disgusting</p>

42

<p>I would do anything, but not that.</p>

43

<p>I LOVE saying this, because it's true:</p>

<p>MY TOP CHOICE IS MY SAFETY!!! </p>

<p>Boy, aren't I lucky?</p>

44

<p>That's kind of true for me. I'm basically in at UCLA.</p>

45

<p>Wah. All the schools around here are mathsci focused, and I'm not, so, safeties are not my top choices!</p>

46

<p>Haha, you guys are intense.
Would any of you sacrifice a body part? Nails don't count.</p>

47

<p>Hmmm, maybe the bottom half of my leg. Only if they would give me a cool story to tell. I would hate to go around telling people "I did it to get into Columbia". I'd look kinda crazy.</p>

48

<p>i’d be willing to cut off a few inches of my hair</p>

49

<p>I would consider sacrificicing a pinky toe.</p>

50

<p>i would have someone take off the tip of a finger/toe. i might screw a moderately attractive admin. i’d consider lighting my hair on fire for like 5 seconds :P</p>

51

<p>i would get a really ugly tattoo</p>

52

<p>I agree about the tattoo, even a few piercings in necessary.</p>

53

<p>The problem with all this is that I might get into a few top places anyway. I’d prefer to wait until decisions are out before making sacrifices.</p>

54

<p>I’d go FAR to go to Caltech…seriously, it’s about 2,978 miles from my house…
But really, I’d just sell my soul to the admissions office. lol.</p>

55

<p>Sell it? I’d donate it along with 2 pints of blood and a kidney.</p>

56

<p>Lol yeah, I’d willingly give up my soul to go to an Ivy or Georgetown. School/398954 AP classes has already deteriorated my soul so it wouldn’t be much of a difference.</p>

57

<p>I’d give 2 kidneys!</p>

58

<p>

</p>

<p>Nooooo. Because if everyone went all the way, no matter what that meant, Harvard admissions would be a LOT more competitive than they are. And they’re competitive.</p>

59

<p>

</p>

<p>Agree. But not the finger/toe. No body parts I can’t grow back… </p>

<p>Gosh you guys seem to care a <em>lot.</em> So how come on the other threads it’s all, “chill out, so what if you didn’t get in, there are better paths to spiritual fulfillment than prestige”?</p>

<p>^ still all of the above… except for one certain area on body parts.</p>
