Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University

<p>Ok we all know about rain dances and wearing PJs inside out for snow days...</p>

<p>Everyone knows that admissions decisions are based purely on magic. What are you going to do to persuade the magical powers that control the universe to let you go to Stanford? Ill go first.</p>

<p>After keeping it perfectly folded and safe inside my drawer for the past month, tonight I took out my simple grey Stanford Engineering t-shirt.</p>

<p>Starting tomorrow morning after my shower, I will not remove the shirt until I hear my decision.</p>

2

<p>Really??? Starting tomorrow?? You might wear that t-shirt for five consecutive days before decisions are out!! That is sacrifice!</p>

3

<p>I'm just not wearing my Berkeley shirt.</p>

4

<p>wearing my crimson stanford cardinal shirt to bed for the next seven days</p>

5

<p>I'm actually not wearing anything Stanford-related until I find out. Which is too bad, because I really like my black Stanford t-shirt. As for rituals, I added 3 new playlists to my iPod: Accept, Defer, and Reject.</p>

6

<p>I'm wearing a blue shirt, no logos or anything.</p>

7

<p>omg. avalon. you are my soulmate. whats on your deferred list, btw? i had some trouble...</p>

<p>haha i could pretty easily double my reject playlist as a break up one..how pathetic am i?</p>

8

<p>I reccomend "Get Over It" by the Eagles...</p>

9

<p>or a funeral requiem - I recommend Mozart's - the terrible wrath of judgement, the fires of hell...all fitting, as he was a misunderstood genius who died at a young age.</p>

10

<p>day two of the shirt wearing begins.</p>

<p>I realized a way to stay clean though! Ive been needing a haircut for a while, and they wash your hair before cutting it.</p>

11

<p>^ when you said you won't remove the shirt for 5 days straight, did you also mean no showers for 5 days as well??</p>

12

<p>i dont know about you... but take my clothes off when i shower</p>

13

<p>haha thats a yes btw</p>

14

<p>if i get in i have a virgin sacrifice to appease the adcom gods. if i dont get in i have a virgin sacrifice to appease myself. (outa frustration) either way there is a lot of naked dancing. id reccomend it.</p>

15

<p>^ in your bedroom, i hope</p>

16

<p>bedroom, public its all good.</p>

17

<p>^ go dance in the snow :)</p>

18

<p>or dance in front of the admissions building. btw it's warmer there too.</p>

<p>ps) what did you mean by virgin sacrifice? cook a young boy [like shaina]? <em>that's so mean</em>.</p>

19

<p>wait, I thought Shark_Bite was a guy :confused:</p>

20

<p>I will hold Stanford's two signees at my school - Steve Duplinsky and Andrew Phillips - hostage until my acceptance letter comes in. I will threaten to injure their legs.</p>

<p>Aside from that, Friday night I'm going to a friend's birthday/new house/ start of Christmas break party and celebrating an acceptance with music, food and drink, or drowning my sorrows in music, food, and drink.</p>
