<p>Not applying to Tufts after watching some of the optional video applications on YouTube.
Realized that one of them could be my roommate.</p>
<p>Oberlin- because I have fears of clowns, bees and heights.</p>
<p>I didn’t apply to Tufts because I think its name and mascot are stupid.
I didn’t apply to Villanova or Tulane because my aunt transferred from Villanova and hated it and because my uncle said “Why would anyone ever want to go to Tulane?”
I applied to Maryland because it has the best field hockey team in the country.
I’m applying to Swat because it has a giant white porch chair on Parrish Beach.</p>
<p>Oh Georgetown’s full of these, back and forth:
- I wasn’t going to apply to Georgetown because my aunt used to work there and didn’t like it because it wasn’t on the Metro. She said it wasn’t on the Metro because “Georgetown (the neighborhood) people are snotty.”
- I wasn’t going to apply to Georgetown because my ex-boyfriend goes there and he annoys me.
- But then, I visited, and applied EA because I absolutely loved my tour guide’s floral tank top and
- Because a freshman dorm had a hibachi restaurant in the basement. I love hibachi.</p>
<p>“applying to uchicago because a hot guy from my high school goes there and i wanna hook up with him”</p>
<p>there are hot guys at uchicago?!</p>
<p>lol im not applying to any school in CA because mom thinks that there r tons of earthquakes and fire there, and the state gov there is in deep trouble…
she’s like “going to Berkeley if u get in? Not happening because you’re not even applying in the first place hahaha” =.=</p>
<p>I’m sure that if I go to CA, I’ll die in 2012…</p>
<p>I didn’t apply to Tufts because they banned sex in dorms if you’re roommate is in your dorm.</p>
<p>I might apply to Harvard because I have extra fee waivers lying around and the application is ridiculously easy considering what I’ve already completed. $9.50 for another admissions reach BUT financial safety? It might be worth it.</p>
<p>not applying to schools with more than 60% girls
not applying to PA schools because it doesn’t border the Atlantic Ocean

<p>^not applying to /Mid-West schools because *** IS THERE TO DO?</p>
<p>I hear you. The Mayan calendar was off by 1 year. Oprah is quitting in 2011 and there will be absolutely nothing to do in Chicago ;)</p>
<p>^not applying to schools with more than 60% girls</p>
<p>I tried for Barnard because I heard it was a backdoor way to Columbia but they refunded my app fee and said “no”.</p>
<p>Not applying to Mount Holyoke because their admissions office ignored my e-mails.
Not applying to Lawrence because I don’t think I would appreciate all the classical music as much as the other students there.<br>
Not applying to Rhodes or Centre because Greek life is too active at both.
Not applying to Ursinus because I already have two reach schools.
Not applying to Duke because it was supposedly the basis for the novel I am Charlotte Simmons.
Not applying to Drew because the food is reportedly terrible.</p>
<p>
I agree that PCness sucks, but any other elite college put in the same situation would have done the same.
YES! I HATE the way “Tufts” sounds. It makes me think of William Taft, which in turn makes me think of really fat people. Not exactly what I want to constantly think about incessantly for 4 years and in the further future when discussing my alma mater.</p>
<p>
NYC? Get shot?! And this is coming from someone who lives in New Jersey and is probably most familiar with NEWARK of all places??</p>
<p>I live in Bergen County. AKA, across the bridge. But I do like Manhattan.</p>
<p>Some clarification for you: the only time I’ve been in Newark is to go to the airport.</p>
<p>
LOL. (If you’re a girl though, then I don’t get it)</p>
<p>almost didn’t apply to UCSanta cruz because of its mascot (banana slug?)</p>
<p>applied to Cal lutheran –> free app</p>
<p>I’m not applying to Wesleyan because my tour guide didn’t shave her armpits…</p>
<p>A few of people at my school aren’t applying to Brown because two guys went there in '08 and they were both quite arrogant. US News did a special about one of them, Matthew Jaroszewicz. [YouTube</a> - How to Choose a College: Going the Extra Mile](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9Sf4-OCUV0]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9Sf4-OCUV0). He was… Well, you guys can see the vid. Especially because the school he talks about as being “inner city” is ranked higher than any public school in the state, including whichever “white, successful” suburban school he’s talking about (probably Indian Hill). (I know, I know, no ranking of public high schools is legit in the least). Ugh.</p>
<p>I almost applied to WashU because my chem teacher went there. My art hist teacher went to Northwestern and if I didn’t know a lot about that school, I probably would have thought of doing the same thing. I also almost applied to Vassar because their website design is awesome.</p>
<p>my sister didnt apply to hobart because she didn’t like the color of the bricks
she didn’t apply to colby because it reminded her of the movie “the shining”
i didnt apply to hamilton because our tour guide when he was walking backwards kept tripping over his sandals</p>
<p>“UChicago or BMC because I absolutely must go to a school with Gothic revival architecture.” </p>
<p>I understand! I mean I’m definitely going to apply to others without this kind of architecture, but if I went to one that DID have it I would just be 500 points happier</p>
<p>The only reason why I’m applying to about 15 schools on my list is because they have free apps :)</p>
<p>i want to apply to wesleyan because of the naked parties… do they still do those?</p>
