<p>i applied to 20 schools. i guess i would say dumbest reason?</p>
<p>i have OCD. i'm obsessed with even numbers - i needed to apply to an EVEN number. it started as 12. but then a teacher recommended one. so then it went to 13 and i freaked so i found another one. and then another recommended school turned it to 15. and the story continues...to 20 :]</p>
<p>now, that's a DUMB reason.</p>
<p>I'm not applying to Georgetown next year because I visited and felt the buildings were all too close together.
I know I'm weird....</p>
<p>I applied to WUSTL and MIT because they're schools my dad would have liked to go to and I did it because he wanted me to apply there. I think its a pretty dumb reason because I felt like I was misleading the schools big time.</p>
<p>Wasn't us but heard someone say they did not apply to Brown because it is the tag line for UPS -- "Call brown"</p>
<p>I didn't apply to USC and Yale because my parents thought they were too dangerous...but Berkeley is right next to Oakland!</p>
<p>I didn't apply to UPenn and Georgetown to make room for two safeties that I would never attend.</p>
<p>I just received two likely letters from said universities, and now I feel bad that I'm taking seats away from my fellow classmates, who actually DO want to attend those unis.</p>
<p>Bah.</p>
<p>I applied to Marist because I knew I could get money from them, and it had a social work major.</p>
<p>And kept it on my list, even when I realized I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, but I had a pretty damn good idea that it wasn't social work after all.</p>
<p>My best friend won't go to Skidmore because it reminds her of skidmarks.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to GW because a) one time when my dad and I were in DC we were behind some obnoxious professor/TA/whatever who was talking on a cell phone while standing in line at the Whole Foods check-out busy complaining about the snobby, overpriveledged GW students and how much he hated them and how he wanted to go back to whatever school he came from and b) while on "campus" I went into a Starbucks and there were all these GW students in there wearing sunglasses indoors and it really bothered me. I was going to apply to Duquesne as a safety but ended up not doing so coz my APUSH teacher's daughter goes there and I really didn't like my APUSH teacher so I didn't want to risk running into her ever again. I didn't apply to University of Wisconsin - Madison coz I hate cheese.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to USC because this guy that I know that I really dislike is on their basketball team. I didn't apply to Haverford because I didn't feel like writing the essay concerning the honor code. Now I wish I had applied to both of those schools, meh.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Columbia because it's right next to New York (dumb b/c most people cite that as a reason TO apply), and New York reminds me of rude people and high crime rates.<br>
I didn't apply to University of Chicago b/c I have always some how considered it as an equivalent to my safety school (purdue), even though I knew that it was ranked top 10....</p>
<p>I didn't apply to anywhere in the middle of the country because I currently live in the middle of the country.</p>
<p>It seemed like a good idea at the time. >.></p>
<p>Many years ago I had been considering Texas A&M and went there and attended a football game with a school club. I found out that the students have to stand up during the entire game (it's a tradition). Forget that. I went to Baylor instead and my then boyfriend (now H) went to Texas A&M. So, I went to all the football games with him and stood up through them anyway.</p>
<p>Ouch. Offended here with Colgate. No one's cracked that joke on me in the last 3 years. :)</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Evergreen because they had a class titled "Senses & Perception"(or something like that), and the description made it sound like the fruitiest new-agey thing I had ever heard. And I don't want to go to a school with fruity classes/"programs"</p>
<p>I didn't apply to any UC's because I thought they were over-hyped and I didn't want to stay in California. Ironically, I got into Santa Clara U and plan on going there ... which sort of threw out my whole idea of not applying/attending any California schools. </p>
<p>I STILL am mad that I didn't apply to any UC's just for that fact.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to schools BC they had free applications. It makes no sense to me now >_></p>
<p>I applied to Stanford BC I used to like it (even though I didn't know anything about it - and still don't) and wore a Stanford t-shirt. As a result, everyone thought I was going to apply there and loved it...So, I applied.</p>
<p>I applied to St. John's BC my counselor - with whom I've had a bad relationship until the last year - suggested it.</p>
<p>I applied to UCLA because my parents always expected me to go there...even though now they want me to go to Irvine BC it's safer.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to UCs because I saw who got into which UC in the class before me, and thought, "well if they can get in then it must not be a good school."</p>
<p>Probably dumb of me, especially knowing that as a military dependent I qualified for in-state tuition, even though I don't live in California anymore.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Georgetown because I didn't want to take a class about anything religious ever in my life.</p>
<p>lol i wont't apply to colgate either cuz it sounds like toothpaste :P i bet they get A LOT of that</p>
<p>didn't apply to a school i really wanted to go to b/c they required a reccomendation from a math teacher, and my math teachers all hated me.</p>
