Hypothetical Worst First Line for an application essay

My AP chem teacher hates me.

I feel like this university is an excellent safety school.

When given the essay topic “if you could be any tree, which tree would you be?”, I proudly chose “The Stanford tree”.

Hazing really isn’t so bad.

This one is for you, lookingforward,

I have learned many important lessons in leadership since I founded Pie Club three weeks ago.

QuantMech I think 21 days would sound more “impactful” then 3 weeks.

I am blonde, but I am not dumb.

“I often ask myself, ‘what are my chances?’ So I asked College Confidential, ‘what are my chances?’ @collegeexpert99 says my chances are good, so…”

“My goal is to go to medical school, and I read that [college] has really high grade inflation and easy general education requirements.”

“I think Columbia is the perfect fit for me because I intend to take advantage of the open curriculum to satisfy my many diverse interests and to explore in my first year to determine what I’d like to major in.”

Or, “I’ve been dreaming of attending Harvard ever since I visited campus as a little girl.” sent in as part of my Yale application.

So many kids cut and paste and don’t notice that they have the school name wrong, or that the content doesn’t fit the school.

When I asked myself, “What is the epitome of a Yale student?,” I answered “Clam fart.” I can only hope that you answer the same.”

Always good to reflect on this classic, still funny even after the 7th time reading through it.

I don’t like beer; I like Stormy.

I really don’t want to go to your college, so please disregard the following essay which was written by my mother.

You’re not my first choice school, or even my tenth, but I’ve gotta go somewhere next fall or my parents are gonna make me get a job.

It was a dark and Stormy night… For some unknown to me reason, the autocorrect kept capitalizing “Stormy.” Finally, I decided that typing my essay on the tiny keyboard of my brand new $1000 phone was a pain and switched to my new MacBook.
