<p>I'm not applying to Marymount U because it's website is boring.
ha- yeah, I'm not applying to Colgate because of the toothpaste thing.</p>
<p>and because Colgate loosely translates into 'Go hang yourself' in Spanish.
XD</p>
<p>^ lol. I was thinking of applying to Colgate because a guy I know, both his parents are professors there....</p>
<p>Won't apply to Smith because my least-favorite math teacher went there.</p>
<p>Won't apply to Carleton, even though it sounds awesome, because it's in Minnesota.</p>
<p>Goucher, because the name is weird and sounds like "Groucher," which reminds me of the Grinch.</p>
<p>I'm debating whether or not to apply to Tufts. I know it's a great school, but I absolutely hate the name. It reminds me of little tufts of hair on an old person. But not only that, its just an unattractive word in general.
Also, I'm a bit put off by the fact that it's known as the school for kids who didn't get into the ivy league.</p>
<p>I'm not applying to Robert Morris because they don't accept the common app.</p>
<p>If anyone saw the movie 'Superbad', Evan and Fogell got accepted to Dartmouth. I thought it was a crappy school because they were learning imaginary numbers (Algebra 2 level?)</p>
<p>Didn't apply:</p>
<p>Tufts- older kids rejected from Ivies seemed to all go there</p>
<p>Most any state school- I don't like football or 'getting wasted'</p>
<p>D wouldn't consider Colgate because of the toothpaste connotation too Lizzie! She also wouldn't look at Richmond once she found out their mascot is the Spider- hates spiders with a passion! Kind of funny though- thought she did NOT want to stay in California but is now going to Berkeley and I couldn't imagine her anywhere else!</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Johns Hopkins because they rejected my brother. I also didn't apply to Wake Forest because of the name. It just bothers me for some reason, lol</p>
<p>I'm not applying to Eckerd because it's in Florida, but not close to Disney World.
I'm not applying to Eugene Lang because there was this girl on the website that looked really mean.
I'm not applying to MS State because their dance team routine is lame.
I'm not applying to Reed because it's too far away to come home for Christmas. (even though I REALLY love it. I'm already considering it for grad school)
I'm not applying to Transylvania b/c I'm already super pale and I'm tired of vampire jokes.
I'm not applying to Tufts b/c of the colors and the Jumbos. No. way.
I'm not applying to Syracuse b/c I'm redheaded, and couldn't get away with wearing orange.
I'm not applying to Shimer b/c I don't think I could get a job afterwards.
I'm not applying to SMU b/c it sounds nasally when you say it like that. (ess emm yuuu.) ick.
I'm probably not applying to Oglethorpe b/c they have Hufflepuff colors.</p>
<p>On a less-cynical note:
I'm applying to Dickinson b/c I love the mermaid and their student center. and b/c the pres. wears harry potter glasses.</p>
<p>I'm applying to UMass Amherst b/c it has a freshman dorm themed towards creative writing.</p>
<p>I'm applying to Allegheny b/c I can write a novel for a sr. project... and b/c there's no app. fee.</p>
<p>I'm applying to Hampshire b/c they have a circus troupe.</p>
<p>I'm probably applying to Middlebury...
because they have a Quidditch team.</p>
<p>

In AP US History we were forced to memorize many important supreme court cases, one of which was Dartmouth vs Woodward. I was completely fed up with the class at the time and determined Dartmouth as obnoxious because of my dislike of history. Whoops

</p>
<p>Lol, it's sad I remember this case :(</p>
<p>Stanford - west coast</p>
<p>horrible reason.....driven by a classic hip hop feud</p>
<p>I didn't apply to WUSTL because it sounded like a second or third tier college. My college guidance counselor recommended it to me. I was like literally in the back of my mind..."***, you don't like me, why you are you looking down upon me and giving me these no name colleges."</p>
<p>That was back when I just didn't know WUSTL was that highly ranked...I never heard of it. Later I learned about how its in St. Louis, Missouri...that kinda really sucks.</p>
<p>Didn't apply to Cornell (not an engineering type, kinda bottom rung Ivy)</p>
<p>Didn't apply to Dartmouth (i thought it was filled with rich white preppy ppl and its in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do)</p>
<p>Again, now that I look back, most of this stuff was kinda stupid. I just needed schools to delete and a reason not to apply to that many schools.</p>
<p>I'm not applying to bucknell because their rep at a college fair was rude to me... not to mention my sat scores are not high enough. But the rep being rude is more important!</p>
<p>I will not be applying to Wesleyan because:
-the lady at the info session had an abnormally low voice and wore bulky gross black shoes...
-all the guys in the tour wore tight pants
-when the tour guide asked us to say something about ourselves and i said something about barack obama- he just stared and didnt say anything
-all the party flyers were art/theater/music related
-the wind literally knocked me over</p>
<p>i insisted we leave the visit early and once we got in the car i shouted:
HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>haha good times</p>
<p>NYU used the word 'paradigm' in an opening sentence on one of their promo letters, and to me that was just a cry for attention.</p>
<p>I'm thinking of chopping Tufts off of my list because they misspelled the word University in an email to me. They said: "Univeristy." Plus when I visited, the very outside of the campus had graffiti on it and the sign was hidden behind some bushes, which gave me a bad first impression, even though when we got further inside, it was really pretty.</p>
<p>D won't apply to FAU because the campus hardly had any trees or greenery.</p>
<p>Her BF wants to apply to University of South Carolina so he can call himself a gamecock.</p>
<p>This thread needs to be revived
I know somebody not applying to Cornell because Chris Cornell is a giant d-bag</p>
<p>Am not applying to Carnegie Mellon, despite many people's recommendations, because I don't like its name. :|</p>
<p>I call it Carnegie Grapefruit. >__></p>
<p>Also, I have a friend who's looking into LACs and was really into Wesleyan until he found out that they have a co-ed, clothing-optional dorm. He was like, "Man, that's just a little TOO weird for me..."</p>
