<p>What</a> five words best describe you? | The most ridiculous and outrageous responses to the Stanford application question, 100% guaranteed to get you rejected</p>

<p>As a Stanford hopeful bogged down with the excruciatingly simple task of choosing 5 adjectives that describe me, I started joking around with a friend about which words would probably automatically get you rejected. </p>

<p>"Determined, soft, moist, spongy, touchy."</p>

<p>"Rich" (in any context), or maybe even worse "poor". </p>

<p>"Lazy, curious, smart, nice, bored."</p>

<p>We started the blog "Stanford Adjectives" to celebrate this topic and it is really taking off, because apparently more than the two of us think it's hilarious. The idea isn't to go overboard with self-deprecation or obscenities... that's no fun. Share with us your take on this!! What 5 words do you think would 100% absolutely get you rejected? </p>
