<p>Time's Magazine 2007 Person of the Year</p>
<p>don't forget to include it in that list!! ;)</p>
<p>hahaha, clever. it just might make an adcom laugh.</p>
<p>haha I was thinking about that too, good plan!</p>
<p>hahah i guess that is technically correct</p>
<p>I dunno, if they turn you down, they can say that they're so selective that they turn down the people of the year.</p>
<p>I sometimes wonder if they don't love saying on the tour how alexander hamilton got turned down and had to go to columbia. Maybe they purposefully reject amazing people because that's somehow more awesome than counting them as one of their alumni?</p>
<p>hehe yeah it's like, "We're too good for Alexander Hamilton. We had to send him to Columbia."</p>
<p>It would be a fun thing to do, and I'm sure that your personality would come across well if you wrote that. But then again, it's kind of a daring thing to do, don't you think? I would definitely do it if I were applying this year.</p>
<p>You probably wouldn't be the first.. and the adcoms might be tired of seeing it by the time they get to yours =)</p>
<p>^^Actually Alexander Hamilton wanted to graduate from Princeton in a year or something...they wouldn't let him do that, so he left and went to Columbia.</p>
<p>Hah, I wasn't actually brave enough to do that. :) But I thought the idea was hilarious.</p>
<p>mabye ill include it in the letter i send them telling them about all the awards i will (hopefully) win by feb/march :)</p>
<p>I'm sure that after a long day of reading 2000 Hail-Mary applications, they would appreciate a little joke. </p>
<p>julyinoh: You're right. It would probably get really old really fast.</p>
<p>OK well I'm pretty sure that OMZ and whomever else should send in like Most Active Princeton CC'er as an award.</p>
<p>Because...that's a time commitment. I should have listed is as an EC.</p>
<p>lollll alexander hamilton hahaha</p>
<p>Who is Alexander Hamilton? I'm so out of the loop...</p>
<p>Haha he was a really important political guy like a billion years ago.
And by a billion I mean like 1780ish (right)? </p>

You can read up. ;)</p>
<p>alexander hamilton was a politician and lawyer who was an infuential delagate to the '87 constitutional convention, the first secretary of the treasury, and who wrote the federalist papers along with james madison.</p>
<p>your not out of the loop, youve just been falling asleep too much in your history classes;)</p>
<p>Either that, or I'm in Canada and we don't exactly study US history in our Canadian history class :)</p>
<p>Hahahaha. Good point.</p>
<p><em>gasp</em> the US is not the center of the universe?!
