I'm guessing you are a WASP</p>
<p>Dumbest reason I would apply to MIT if the application fee/time spent didn't matter:
You can bring your pet to school! Small pet, of course.</p>
<p>For awhile there I really liked Yale because of Gilmore Girls, but I didn't apply (it would have been a complete waste of time and money).</p>
<p>I don't like the name Tufts-- I think of little tufts of hair.</p>
<p>I can't pronounce Quinnipiac (or spell it).</p>
<p>I really liked the St. Mary's College of Maryland rep at a local college fair and I thought the pictures were pretty.</p>
<p>I almost applied to Middlebury, and the fact they had a quidditch team is what originally got me interested. I ended up not applying because I didn't have a graded analytical paper that was good enough.</p>
<p>I like that Goucher will pay for me to study abroad.</p>
<p>I'm applying to the University of Washington because everyone at my school does, and I feel like I have to.</p>
<p>I might apply to Washington State University because they have assured admission and I'm paranoid I'll be rejected from everywhere else.</p>
<p>Amherst reminds me of a horror movie, but I can't figure out why.</p>
<p>And I refuse to apply anywhere in the middle of the country, as well as anywhere further south than Maryland (most southern accents bug me, though very faint ones can be charming... No offense if you have one :) )</p>
<p>My junior high choir teacher went to Pacific Lutheran University and I she was one of my favorite teachers I've had.</p>
<p>The University of Puget Sound has a Ben & Jerry's Literature House.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Northwestern because they have too many frats, and I almost didn't apply to Rice because it's too "science-y".</p>
<p>MIT- had everything prepared to send, but didn't apply because the online application forced me to cut down my essay to 500 words, but I just couldn't remove a single sentence off my beautiful work! Imagine drawing a beautiful landscape of the shore, then the art director says it won't fit in his car so he needs to cut the sides! No way, Jose!</p>
<p>i didn't apply to cornell because i lack a sat2 science =S</p>
<p>I applied to Tulane since the application was free, but I applied after the scholarship deadline, so I wouldn't go anyway, and I don't even want to bother my counselor to send in papers for them (we have to do it by snail mail).</p>
<p>I refused to apply to schools with Brown as a school color. Mostly, when I toured, I didn't like any of them anyway, and I thought how lame it would be to have to wear something as un-spirited as dirty turd brown to every football/basketball game. </p>
<p>By the way, Southern accents are AMAZING in Louisiana, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, maybe even Florida. But Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, and any other Appalachian states have hick accents. Ten times worse. Southern accents make a person sound friendly. Hick accents make a person sound racist.</p>
<p>cornell : applied because of their food</p>
<p>occidental : its font i always use on microword...would be weird going to a school by the name</p>
<p>UC Santa Cruz because they are the Banana Slugs!</p>
<p>When I was 9 or 10 my mom bought me a college sweatshirt that was the color brown and had the word BROWN printed across the front. She hadn't heard of the school, but thought that was a very clever joke. Ever since I was attracted to the school and ended up going there.</p>
<p>i didnt applied to F&M cuz the girl on the tour was totally nerdy. Another tour guide who was totally hot and wanted to talk to her, but she was so lame and she was a senior. haha. So i assume all F&M students would be lame like them XD.
Months later, the tour girl send me a PERSONALIZED letter to me and write blah blah blah, that was nice. But ican't stand people of lameness XD</p>
<p>I'm a junior, but I am NOT going to apply to Brown because I love it too much that i don't wanna make myself super emo if I get rejected. Eventho I think I have a decent chance. (let's just hope :P)</p>
<p>i will NOT apply to stanford because i don't want to be a part of the stanford slaughter.</p>
<p>I'm a junior, and I'm not applying to any Ivies (or, for that matter, other schools with an acceptance rate of below 15%) because I don't want to get my hopes up.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Stanford because I think there were just too many essays to write. :P
Didn't apply to UChicago because somehow it just didn't feel right. (I think I judged based on the website...lol)
Didn't apply to Columbia because it's too close to the big city. (I think someone else has said this)
Didn't apply to Carnegie Mellon because it seemed too tech-y and I had a bad dream about it.</p>
<p>This thread is hilarious, btw. :)</p>
<p>Georgetown: Loved it at first, but started hearing that the students are stuck-up/pretentious and that FinAid sucks. Should've just applied anyway.</p>
<p>Williams/Amherst: Hated the rural location, so all my schools are either in, or close to, a huge city. Stupid reason. Either would've been a great school for me.</p>
<p>UChicago: Too academic, not enough partying. Lol "where the fun comes to die"......Still an idiotic reason. I'm an intellectual when I want to be, and college is about the classroom first and foremost. Ah well.</p>
<p>Location isn't a stupid reason not to apply to a school. You have to live there four years, you may as well like it.</p>
<p>I'm surprised no one else thinks brown is the worst school color ever.</p>
<p>Forest green is worse lol</p>
<p>I'm not applying to anything on the coast because of MEGA TSUNAMIS :(</p>
<p>I watch the weather channel too much >_></p>
<p>I didn't apply to Stanford because I think California is a kooky state and can't imagine living there.</p>
