<p>Did anybody else get the super-personal-sounding email about “I personally lobbied to get your deadline for the blue ribbon application extended to midnight tonight” yesterday? Cuz I read it, and I just laughed. I could tell it was a total form email, and that no one had personally lobbied for me specifically. The kicker was that I got it at 10 PM, leaving me 2 hours to apply! What a pack of lies.</p>
<p>Yeah, colleges like to do that kind of thing. Don't be so harsh, we're all at their mercy.</p>
<p>wow, they extended blue ribbon apps? lol, besides, if we turned it in late, wouldn't that hurt our chances?</p>
