<p>...and that's why I support Romney for president.</p>

<p>Write an essay on why dropping out of high school is the best decision you've ever made and its impact on you. That should do it...</p>

<p>P.S. I'm absolutely loving this thread! Thanks for many great laughs.</p>

<p>"I want to go to MIT so I can become a world-renowned actress and win a bunch of Oscars, which is totally plausible because of the huge focus on theater and the performing arts at a place at MIT."</p>

<p>"MIT is my dream school! Michigan Institute of Trucking, here I come!"</p>

<p>Just a note - I sent in my part II right after I made that post, at 11:11. ^_^</p>

<p>"... and thus we have proven that the Infinite Corridor is, in fact, infinite, Q.E.D."</p>

<p>At least it wouldn't be a boost for Caltech:

<p>Under Additional Information: "I can divide by zero"</p>

<p>I think "and that's why I want to go to CalTech" was the funniest one XD</p>

<p>...damn, now I have a REALLY strong urge to end my essay that way, skip two lines, and write underneath "...just kidding! But this tale will be an excellent anecdote for both of us, right?"</p>

<p>You could always tell them that your love for MIT is "the limit of 1/x as x approaches 0." :)</p>

111

<p>Does not exist?</p>

<p>yo since MIT values humor and personality so much, what would happen if I actually did some of these things</p>

116

117

<p>Please, someone submit a letter of rec from Chuck Norris. That would be... so epic.</p>

118

<p>Seriously, the worst thing you can do is to imply that by virtue of your brilliant intellect you are somehow ENTITLED to be admitted and that MIT will be making a big mistake if they don't recognize that fact. Believe me, they DO get apps like that and they go straight to the round file.</p>
