<p>perhaps worse than Harvard..."and that's why I want to go to CalTech."</p>
<p>yeah i think i might have quoted the caltech essay prompt on my application...</p>
<p>I aim to attend MIT because of its antisocial reputation; I hate working in groups! In fact, after doing extensive post doc work at Caltech and Harvard on underwater life support systems, I hope to be the first human resident of the Romanche Trench in the Atlantic. Since it is such a dangerous mission, I will take no companions and sleep to stave off boredom. I will rely on a brilliant but talkative group of support staff, but claim credit for their work and plagerize excerpts from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Finally, I hope to cause a nuclear Armageddon. I will remain safe in my remote and secret location, and will eventually populate the world with my clones.</p>
<p>Perhaps I could manage to flood the stairwell, but supply my app with a flotation device and scuba mask. Survival of the fittest!</p>
<p>"I'm looking foward to the days off we get due to the excess suicidal tendencies at MIT"</p>
<p>"so wellesey's down the block huh?"</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>
<p>ahahahahahahaha, very original...who knows they might accept you on originality</p>
<p>;-)</p>
<p>"I hate math."</p>
<p>"i found the cure for cancer and will only reveal it to the world if i'm accepted to mit"................how could they reject you? thats like committing murder</p>

That is hysterical! "We can't say no...! My conscience! Good vs. Evil! AUGHH!"</p>
<p>"i'm a luddite."</p>
<p>But they could also rescind your admission for using misleading information on your application once they find out you don't have a cure.</p>
<p>send in a caltech app. to MIT admission office maybe?</p>
<p>Ask them what class postage they are going to use for this year's rejections.</p>
<p>"hacks eh? hmm... arent they like banned by the CIA or something?"</p>
<p>Send in a blank application with "2400 SAT - enough said"</p>
<p>Or do what I did: cut the application into 1500 pieces and put it in a pretty box. I thought MIT of all places would appreciate a good puzzle.</p>
<p>Are you serious shaw? Hahaha, can't believe that man.</p>
<p>lol absolutely not. I wanted to at least have some kind of chance. It would be funny to get someone who has no intention of going to do something like that.</p>
<p>There are many fools in this world. I am sure some of them are also on CC and have applied to MIT.</p>
<p>I did hear of someone who wrote the entire app in rhyming verse. Which would probably qualify as 'dangerously stupid' by many of your standards, but he was accepted. :D</p>
<p>I once heard about a kid who wrote his whole application in blood to show his commitment (I don't believe it was to MIT though), needless to say it wasn't well received...</p>
