<p>swarthmore: their promo DVD made me think of the Blair Witch Project</p>
<p>johns hopkins: too much work and sketchy neighborhood</p>
<p>brown: too hippie</p>
<p>uc's: i don't like public schools, esp large ones where I have to pay OOS tuition</p>
<p>in state schools: don't want to run into anyone from high school</p>
<p>I applied to Emory (accepted) and Duke for the awesome weather~</p>
<p>I applied to Emory b/c its in Atlanta. and u know.fine male population in Atlanta
I didnt apply to USC b/c it reminds of me of the L.A. riots
I didnt finish my Pomona appl. b/c of the viewbook they sent me there was a bunch of guys w/ flip-flops on and im weirded out at times by men wearing flip-flops
i didnt apply to a BUNCH of schools b/c of STD break outs that are infamous
Dartmouth too cold, any schools in Texas-too country, Sewanee-b/c the campus although its beautiful reminds me of a dungeon and when i was visitng there, some dogs ran after me and a car almost hit me</p>
<p>^^ ditto the men flip-flop thing. I actually wrote a play about men wearing flip-flops b/c I hate it so much!</p>
<p>I didn't apply to any schools in certain states like New Hampshire or Vermont because they both lack culture and diversity! Both states colleges should concentrate on recuiting in NY, MA, & CT. And although their brochures look great and the campus surroundings beautiful, their diversity stats on various college websites is a turnoff. And everyone cannot get into Dartmouth.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Ivy b/c I knew I wouldn't get in.
Didn't apply to anything up north b/c too cold
didn't apply to CalTech b/c too geeky</p>
<p>my cousin went to kalamazoo college (which is actually a competitive school) for a few semesters, and she said a ton of people she met there only looked up information on it because the name was funny.</p>
<p>didn't apply to
chicago - the essays were too complicated
tufts - same reason
colgate - the view book seemed so.. depressing.</p>
<p>applied to
berkeley - hippie, liberal, sandy cohen; loved that idea
UC davis, san diego, irvine - had the app completed for berkeley and la, so why not?
stanford - cause my bro wanted an autograph from michelle wie. didn't get in anyways</p>
<p>oh ya, i didnt apply to Duke b/c JJ Reddick went there..I JUST HATE THAT KID!!!</p>
<p>I didn't apply to William and Mary because the tour guide was overly excited. It appeared as if she had drank too much coffee in a short period of time. She almost drooled on the statue of Thomas Jefferson (he went to one class there decades ago and they put a statue up for historical presence).</p>
<p>Oh my gosh Gwihir6, my W&M tour guide was an air head. "Like, when they put up the statue thing of Tommy Jefferson (hair twirl), they wanted it gazing in ado-, ader-, adoration at UVA. But, like, it's going the wrong way...". Still applied, though. I thought the bridge superstition was cool, how if you walk across it with a member of the opposite sex it means you're going to marry them.</p>
<p>lol update!!!
I just got an acceptance letter from Alaska Pacific University... and I never finished the application! I didn't send in my test scores, transcript, or letters of rec! (i only applied so they'd stop emailing me... plus it was free) We all had a big laugh about that... they even sent me the link to apply for housing and meal plans lol! no scholarship though... :D</p>
<p>I applied to Dartmouth because I thought the application was really easy.</p>

I did a similar thing. Applied to 6 out of 8 schools(including UMich) which had to be better than my two sisters(UT austin & UGA)...lame I know but i need some sort of validation. I did apply to purdue beacuse of its ranking in my course though.Got into UIUC but I really want to go to UMich because honestly I like it more. (and slightly because my sister also got accepted to UIUC and for some reason my college has to be better) Oh and I don't think ill get into any my reach schools.</p>
<p>Despite loving it, I didn't apply to Swarthmore because I wasn't sure how to pronounce it. </p>
<p>Dumb, I know.</p>
<p>Tulane b/c it was free and took 35.6 seconds total.</p>
<p>I applied to Yale because I needed another reach. I didn't apply to WashU because my parents thought I wouldn't be able to get a job after getting out of college.</p>
<p>Oh, and I applied to Vandy cause there's apparently a lot of hot girls there =P</p>
<p>Oh, and I didn't apply to Lehigh because I only saw one student of color in the viewbook, and everyone in the viewbook was wearing brown. It just disturbed me...</p>
<p>UC Merced, applied there because it was free, had no intention of going to the school, except now if I don't get my appeal approved from UCI I will go so I can transfer out after a year. So I had no reason to apply yet I still did. Well it was free.</p>
<p>For different schools:
1.) Nice propaganda
2.) Voluntarily waived application fee
3.) Thought one of my subject averages wasn't high enough</p>
