<p>"I did not apply to macalester, because they required too many essays."</p>
<p>Two?</p>
<p>^ Three for internationals. And my third essay would have turned out pretty lame[so would have been my why macalester essay for that matter], so I thought I let it be and save some money.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Witt because I don't like any of the people I know currently attending the college, I didn't apply to UK because the way they did their fee was stupid and my stepsister is going there, I didn't apply to Miami because I didn't feel like getting a portfolio together (I spent 2-3 months working on a portfolio for another school, but it didn't fit Miami's specifications). I didn't apply to any schools more than 2 hours away because my boyfriend asked me not to.</p>
<p>I didn't WANT to apply to the University of Cincinnati because everyone in my family it seems went there at one point, and it's too close to home. It also always seemed like that "easy" school because my older sister got in (her grades sucked).... then I realized they are number two in my major in the nation (only behind Harvard). So I ended up applying and I'll go there if I get in. Damn.</p>
<p>I didnt apply to USC because I heard UCLA poured manure on them.</p>
<p>I didnt consider Rice because the thought of telling one of my relatives (Who would never have heard of it) that I went to 'Rice' made me feel ridiculous.</p>
<p>I didnt apply to Clark U because they spell and pronounce the name of the town differently and it bothered me (Worcester=Wooster?)</p>
<p>I didnt apply to Northeastern because my dad said 'I would prefer Northwestern' and it made me sad.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Carnegie Mellon, after visiting and everything, because they require taking a Math SAT II for the Arts and Sciences Department. Even if you want to major in Creative Writing. >(</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Princeton because I know someone who is, and she's slightly obnoxious. If she got in and I didn't, I'd be pretty ****ed off. </p>
<p>I didn't apply to Wesleyan because I couldn't figure out how to pronounce.;)</p>
<p>I originally planned to apply to the top 50 schools on USNWR because I thought I might be able to get into the Guinness book of world records.</p>
<p>Didn't apply to Stanford because they have the lamest mascot in the history of mascots T_T. ok maybe not totally the lamest, there's a school that has a "geoduck" as a mascot and I was like "***!"`</p>
<p>ha ha i didn't apply to many schools coz of the essays that i had to write</p>
<p>I didnt apply to Syracuse because their color is orange, and i dont look good in orange :X haha pathetic i know</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Harvard or Yale because I was SO tired of my uncle pushing me to apply. So I didn't. :D
I probably wouldn't have applied anyway, but his constant insisting just didn't help at all.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Tufts because of its reputation as a school of Ivy League rejects.</p>
<p>I ALMOST completely wrote of UChicago because I heard second-hand that the students there were miserable. Then, in October of this year I actually researched the school myself, fell in love with the school, and realized that the "where fun goes to die" thing is a bit of a self-depricating shirt, and whoever told me that people there had NO fun had heard that bit and taken it seriously.</p>
<p>I almost didn't apply to Brown cause it's a ten-minute drive from home o_0. this still bothers me, but I got over it.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Trinity University (San Antonio - there's lots of Trinitys) because I like the number seven and applying there would have brought the number of schools I've applied to go up to eight.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Macalaster cause the name sounded pretentious. :D</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Boston University because everyone in my school applies to BU. And I didn't apply to UCBerkeley because my cousin goes to Stanford and would kill me.</p>
<p>I applied to FIU because i had no essay to write.
I applied to St. John's because the application fee and essay requirement was waived for applying online.
I didn't apply to Kieser because they kept calling and spamming my email inbox. Not so dumb reason-I read the Student Review. =</p>

<p>applied to DartmouthWashU b/c no supp essays</p>
<p>I applied to the University of Vermont because i had a priority app. And now I realize I would really like the people/town up there.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to anywhere that needed SAT IIs because I didn't know about them haha.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to anywhere off the east coast.</p>
<p>You know, I think these are all the good reasons not to apply and to apply, not dumb ones haha. The little things are more important kinda thing maybe?</p>
<p>I Applied to URI because its the safe school of Rhode Island, but i really don't like it. (accepted)</p>
<p>I applied to Vanderbilt because i didn't know that it was one of the top 20 schools and if i did know that i would have not for the sheer reason to avoid a rejection later due to sucky SAT scores.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to a ton of schools because my test scores suck</p>
<p>yeah i have no good reasons lol</p>
<p>didn't apply to manhattan college because oddly enough, they aren't located in manhattan.</p>
<p>I wanted to apply to Swarthmore because in 8th grade a total stranger said it'd be perfect for me. I didn't because my mother mentioned once that east coast private schools are full of wealthy snobs.</p>
<p>I wanted to apply to Macalester because they have a red plaid shield as a logo and are the "Fighting Scots". I didn't because freshmen can't live in the language houses and the admissions counselor looked at me funny when I said what most excited me was Mac Soup.</p>
<p>I wanted to apply to Dickinson because the viewbook was awesome and mentioned the president's round glasses. I didn't because it was too far away to visit.</p>
<p>I only visited Shimer because my mom made me. It's the only school I applied to. I got a call from the admissions counselor when I got in, and I went dancing through the halls at school. I've been here for a semester now, and it's just right.
And...I never did remember to pay the application fee.</p>
<p>I didn't apply to Reed because I felt bad about bugging one of my teachers for another recommendation.</p>
<p>I had wanted to apply to Haverford because I really liked the school but didn't feel like putting the work into the supplement essay when I probably wouldn't get in.</p>
<p>I almost applied to more women's colleges because I thought I could get in and the whole "lots of women in congress went to women's colleges" thing. I ended up not doing it because I only really liked one of them, anyway.</p>
<p>I only heard of Oberlin because it was supposedly where Scotty went to school in Eurotrip. Lame, but it got me looking at the school and now I really like it.</p>
<p>I only visited (and almost applied) to Sarah Lawrence because the campus resembles Hogwarts. Also, because my favorite playwright is a graduate.</p>
<p>I only applied to New College of FL because my parents wanted me to apply somewhere in-state and it was so weird that my parents would never let me go.</p>
