What's the Worst Thing to Put on your Application to Harvard?

<p>"like, the most influence thing in my life are like pink monkeys, cuz they're like, you know, yellow..."</p>

<p>"... however, my upbringing as a white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant, during which I was molded and taught by the best college prep advisors and tutors since childhood, did not save me from the life of crime I would one day lead...</p>

<p>... you have read about my struggles with cocaine, soliciting, child pornography, vandalism, grand larceny, and money laundering in my counselor's report, but allow me to assure you that she is just bitter that my father missed her in his annual gifts to my teachers, which are usually very generous...</p>

<p>... as you have read, I will graduate from the prestigious Hotchkiss school with a 1.9 QPA, a truly noteworthy achievement...</p>

<p>... I hope that you, dear Yale admissions officer, will accord my application the respect it deserves, as one from a prominent and powerful family...</p>

<p>... Sincerely,

<p>The worst thing would be to mix up business with your application. </p>

<p>Sending a
Dear Valued Customer,
Inside the package, you will find enclosed the 40 pounds of cocaine that you had ordered earlier this month. You will also find the receipt. Please call xxx-xxxx if there are any problems.

<p>Or really mixing up the essays and sending your Princeton letter and saying that your dream school is Princeton, and how RANK 2 Harvard cannot possibly compare to such a fine institution.</p>

<p>Kind of hilarious, if a bit off topic: </p>

<p>my English teacher was telling my class this story the other day, about how he used to work in the admissions office at my school part-time (I go to a private school), and once he was reading an essay on the topic of family from a seventh-grade applicant that began, "I have a mommy and a daddy and a little brother who's a pain in the ass."</p>

<p>They took her, right off the bat.</p>

<p>"Geroge Bush went to harvard. So It is a perfect fit for me."</p>

<p>Maradona- I don't know whether your error was intentional, but he went to Yale (it's fully possible that that was part of your point, of course but whatever.)</p>

<p>according to my knowledge, Bush earned an MBA at Harvard.</p>

<p>That's Harvard Business School- admissions to Harvard College is totally seperate. It's a moot point.</p>
