<p>Hello,</p>
<p>My name is Nicholas Nardini, I am second-year at UC, and I write for the Maroon, our student newspaper. We're looking to run an article about this year's applicants and I would really like to talk to a few of you: who you are, why you're applying, and how you tried to distinguish your application (the zanier the better. An applicant at a certain Southern university once sent a vial of red liquid with an attached note "I'd give my flesh and blood to get into ..." The admissions office then had to be tested for toxins ... but you get the idea). If you're interested in being interviewed for the paper, please post your name and email (or send me a private message) so that I can send you questions.
Thank you very much for your help!
Nicholas Nardini</p>
