<p>rofl that is funny</p>

3

<p>lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol <em>THUD</em> (climbs back in chair) whew that was funny.</p>

4

<p>lol did you make that?</p>

5

<p>the sad part is, it's true for most colleges.</p>

6

<p>Well, most of the ones that College Confidential posters apply to. ;-)</p>

<p>P.S: Can anyone identify where I took each picture? (Major bonus points for the airport shot.)</p>

7

<p>haha yeah, that's what i meant :)</p>

8

<p>That should totally be your art supplement.</p>

9

<p>I hope none of the colleges would take it personally! (None of them have an admissions percentage as low as 13, though.)</p>

<p>Still wondering if anyone can identify the locations of the pictures...</p>

10

<p>Very well done LOL</p>

11

<p>Great job! I loved the captions, especially. :)</p>

12

<p>this wasnt stupid.........</p>

13

<p>That was a dumb attempt at satire. Probably written by some bitter person after they got rejected.</p>

<p>"That was a dumb attempt at satire. Probably written by some bitter person after they got rejected."</p>

<p>Actually, written by me. :-) Don't worry; I don't claim to be a comedian. But I'm not bitter, either, having gotten into three schools and awaiting letters from all the rest. The "pamphlet" was made to shed a little humor--or none, in your opinion--on the admissions process, and to remind everyone of what really matters in life.</p>

17

<p>Oh.....darn.</p>

<p>I hope none of the colleges would take it personally! (None of them have an admissions percentage as low as 13, though.)</p>

<p>That's not true. A lot of colleges (HYPSM etc) have admission rates lower than 10%. Harvard's right now for example is 7.1%</p>

<p>He means none of the Colleges he applied to.</p>

<p>I thought it was hysterical! And will be printing it off for S to take to school tomorrow before those ED decisions come out. And yes, if you were applying to Tufts, I would say this is exactly what I would have sent in for their optional essay that said do anything with an 8.5 X 11 paper. Seriously. Well done.</p>
