<p>C'mon, lets have a little fun on this board, get away from the chances/improve my application thread.</p>

<p>well, heres one i sort of did on the history regents last year: i took every word in the entirety of my essay for the dbq section and alternatingly wrote in blue and black for each of them, definately wasnt well received lol</p>

<p>and you could always say youre only applying to make your parents happy, and that they should reject you</p>

<p>or even diss the adcoms themselves, though that would be impolite :P</p>

<p>You could do the whole thing in crayon. And draw a pretty picture of a tree for your essay! Then add a sun, for good measure. Then stick a $20 bill on the back to make sure.</p>
