What's the dumbest reason you applied/didn't apply to a school?

<p>I chose not to apply to Dickenson, American, or Franklin & Marshall because my dad said that the 3 alcoholic idiots he works with came there, and they’re dumber
than the guys that went to community colleges. Lol. And I chose to apply to Randolph-Macon because the app was free and because they had a rep for having good parties. Chose Florida instead, they put RMC in its place when it comes to parties! …and political science, or whatever I’m supposed to do at UF</p>

<p>I applied to UCSB as a joke, and I’m probably ending up going to it…</p>

<p>^^Haha yeah I love the people who think they like the look of Harvard based on some movie or tv show, since, living fairly near Cambridge, I can tell you that very few of them actually look like Harvard.</p>

<p>And for my dumb reason, I’m pretty sure I’ll be applying to Franklin & Marshall because I’m kinda in love with John Marshall. :heart:</p>

<p>Didn’t apply to MIT because I didn’t want to ask any humanities teacher for a letter of recommendation.
Applied to Cooper Union because Chemical Engineering sounded cool and the school is free
Applied to Fordham because they e-mailed me the day before the deadline giving me some easy/free application</p>

<p>I know people who…

  • applied to Harvard and Yale just so they can get letters from them (rejection letters…)
  • applied to pharmacy programs because pharmacists make good money and live a good lifestyle (even though she doesnt like science)</p>

<p>I applied to Washington and Jefferson because my school unexpectedly let out early one afternoon, the tv wouldn’t work and I had an hour to kill… the application was free, so it’s not like I had anything to loose.</p>

<p>SoCal is amazing!!!
beach runs every weekend <3</p>

<p>I applied to Saint Andrew’s because Prince William went there, and I have an unhealthy obsession with the UK and with things that look like Hogwarts, AKA St. Andrews!</p>

<p>YESS. @emily92 you are clearly my twin lol</p>

<p>I didn’t apply to duke because of basketball and lacrosse rivalries.</p>

<p>^^^ I didn’t apply to Duke because i didn’t want to get raped by the lacrosse team… :)</p>

<p>I applied to Baylor because my cousin went there and my mom and I secretly wanted to one up her. :P</p>

<p>I applied to SLU because they hadn’t rejected a girl from my high school in fifteen years.</p>

<p>I refused to apply to any school that didn’t have a Starbucks within walking distance. Yup, you could say I’m a junkie!</p>

<p>I didn’t apply for Wellesley because it was an all girls school (and then didn’t consider it again when I decided all girls schools were alright… am now going to attend one)
Didn’t apply for Columbia because I thought it was a drinking school
Or Princeton b/c the surrounding town looked snobby
Didn’t apply for Reed because of its location
Didn’t apply to Boston College because of a racist experience there…
(and the fact that I had a small chance at any of these schools) </p>

<p>Applied to WUSTL b/c of no supplement (forgot the app and sat fee…)
Applied to Furman U because I thought I maybe wouldn’t get in anywhere (Ithaca and Skidmore for the same… I should have only chosen one)
UMich because I paid the fee back in November and didn’t want the money to go to waste</p>

<p>I didn’t apply to Northwestern because I was too lazy to bother filling my PROFILE app for them.</p>

<p>I (almost) applied to University of Central Florida, just so I could say that I went to college in the same city that Disneyland is in, but I decided not to in the end. Heh.</p>

<p>I decided to stop researching several schools, simply on the basis that their websites are ugly. This still left me with a perfect array of choices and acceptances, so I’m not disappointed in the least that I didn’t give them a more “fair” shot. Also, I applied to VCU because my mom wanted me to and it would get her out of my hair about it. I had absolutely no intention of attending, and still don’t.</p>

<p>Borflis, technically, Disneyland is in Anaheim…;)</p>

<p>I applied to Yale because their admissions site has a pretty design.</p>

<p>didn’t apply to DePauw because I felt there was tooooo much Greek life and plus there’s nothing else to do in that tiny town.</p>

<p>I refused to apply to any school named after a Robber Baron. I could not consider Carnegie Mellon after reading “The Gospel of Wealth” by Andrew Carnegie. Cornelius Vanderbilt also angers me. I don’t like oppressive rich people. </p>

<p>Similarly, my disdain for Cecil Rhodes will stop me from applying to the Rhodes Scholarship.</p>

<p>Rockefeller?</p>
