So I Would Have Gone to Yale, But...

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>...when I visited, they served shellfish. Doesn't Yale accept the fact that I HATE SHELLFISH?</p>

<p>I have this funny idea to help us all feel somewhat better come reject...I mean, decision time. Although almost nothing can avail the sting of a deferral or rejection, having a bunch of these funny jokes lined up might remind us of a time when were we young and happy and rejection-free.</p>

<p>I have a couple more, most aren't very funny, but maybe you guys will give me some inspiration!</p>

<p>SIWHGTY, but...</p>

<p>...I freaking HATE cobblestones. Don't they know you can't run people over going 30 mph on your bicycle on a stupid cobblestone path?</p>

<p>...the average class size is too freaking small. Don't they know that I can't fall asleep in 3 out of my 4 classes since 75% of their stupid classes have less than 20 students?</p>

<p>...I could NEVER deal with an 12-person suite of all GIRLS. Seriously, does Yale want headlines like '12 College Freshman Seriously Injured in PMS-induced Brawl Over Last Spoonful of Chunky Monkey?'</p>

<p>Love the last one... made me laugh!</p>

3

<p>Yeah, so I would have gone to Yale, but I talked to the admission officers there and we made a mutual decision, all of us agreeing that I was too smart to be going to college...</p>

4

<p>...but my car broke down halfway there.</p>

5

<p>... i got into Harvard.</p>

<p>lolzlolz</p>

6

<p>(Nooooo!!!! I was just kidding!!!! I would never pick Harvard over Yale! :()</p>

I can't have people thinking this is my true belief!!! :(</p>

7

<p>... but Handsome Dan ate my application.</p>

8

<p>Lulz at the chunkey monkey/harvard zingers.</p>

9

<p>...Legally Blonde picked a different Ivy to tout, and I can't think without help from the media.</p>

<p>(Bahaa.)</p>

10

<p>...but i didn't get in.</p>

11

<p>....but I didn't think I could live up to the legacy of President Bush.</p>

<p>(I mean no offense to the President)</p>

12

<p>...a bulldog bit me when I was a child and I've just never gotten over it.</p>

13

<p>... but I got mashed to a pulp by a runaway train.</p>

<p>Seriously, if I was accepted, only my DEATH could prevent me from going to Yale. ;)</p>

14

<p>... but just yesterday Paris Hilton asked me to marry her, so I'm stuck in California...</p>

<pre><code> NOT!!!
</code></pre>

<p>Aside from the fact that I HATE Paris Hilton, New Haven, CT, is the place for me!</p>

15

<p>... the ghetto scares me!</p>

<p>this is actually a real concern of mine.. haha. still love yale though. <3</p>

16

<p>We had this Yale information meeting in early October... It was funny... </p>

<p>Admissions Representative: There are some misconceptions that Yale as a neighborhood is considered unsafe. Yale has worked tremendously in the recent years to change this attitude... etc, etc, etc... </p>

<p>(we stare incredulously) </p>

<p>Someone in the crowd: We live in South LA you know... how could it be worse?</p>

<p>Seriously. If people don't have the spines to go to Yale because of minor personal safety concerns, I wonder what they'd accomplish in life...</p>

17

<p>. . .But I got into Harvard. . .not saying Harvard is better but I had to pick the closer route. . .LOL!!</p>

18

<p>... but I applied to Cornell ED instead!
Sorry Yale, but Cornell is slightly more likely :/</p>

19

<p>. . . but Harvard's financial aid offer was $24,000 more generous than Yale's (true in the case of my D, a freshman at H).</p>

20

<p>^^ WOW!!
That's really intense.</p>

<p>Haha, mine was going to be: "...but I couldn't afford it..." :(</p>
