The "What I would do to get into Penn" thread

<p>Reading the serious statistics and admissions threads was stressing me out, so I felt like starting another light-fun one.</p>

<p>Let’s say Penn only had one spot left, and it’d be given to who ever did the most desperate thing. To what lengths would you go to, to get into Penn?</p>

<p>It’s like one of those “what would you do-o-o for a klondike bar” scenarios.</p>

<p>Me…I’d cut my pinkies of and give them to SEAS.</p>

<p>I'd figure out a fool-proof plan to finish this whole Iraqi War business if that's what it would take to get me in.</p>

<p>anything short of hurting my family</p>

<p>nothing other than submitting my application</p>

<p>I'd flip off the admissions councelor and head to Penn State, where real football is played.</p>

<p>i would pay my application fee...waste of 70 dollars if they reject me</p>

<p>yeah sexibeast-i'm seriously gonna buy more xbox games (a game for each and every application i would have applied to for RD)...but this is ONLY if i get in</p>

<p>omg if i dont get into UPenn im gonna gain like 20 pounds by eating chocolate bars all day while watching TV in the dark. I would do anything to get in!</p>

<p>thats a really good idea wombat, hahaha i might just do the same. What games do you have man? (i got call of duty 2 and madden 06, their awesome!)</p>

<p>I'd cut my hair...and maybe gain 10 lbs (now for guys out there, 10 lbs are ALOT for a girl, my size at least and I love my hair so i thinik its a fair trade-off)</p>

<p>yeah well i'd shave my head and hope that my hair would at least grow back up to my shoulders by next September</p>

<p>sexibeast-i don't what games i have yet. my dad somehow bought it the day after thanksgiving and won't let me open it 'til i either finish all college apps OR get into penn. :( do you have Prince of Persia? I heard that one's good, and just came out. how is the xbox by the way? it looks nice in its box</p>

<p>hahaha its pretty tight...i love it. if you have an hdtv and bought the premium xbox, it comes with component hd cables and when you hook it up its soooo clear. its like the most amazing thing ive ever seen. dude, i hope you get into penn ed so you can open it lol</p>

<p>haha thanx sexibeast and the same to you getting in as well! only 6more days till we find out, i can't take this!</p>

<p>if we both get in, we'll HAVE to battle each other, and maybe i'll make sure to buy the games you dont have so that we can have a massive collection, lol</p>

<p>TheDude06, i was thinking about doing this thread too, but seriously. you would mutilate your body for penn? that is messed up. if penn really means more to you than your well being, then you need to get a life (or a therapist)</p>

<p>shave head, gain weight, climb a nice sized mountain...</p>

<p>you know, the norm.</p>

<p>gain weight - done
climb a nice sized mountain - done
shave head - hmm..</p>

<p>so i'll just go get my head shaved and wait for the rejection letter!</p>
