<p>too true. but most people, once they hear the words "intelligent design" come out of your mouth, immediately think you're one of those extremists. also, that you are an idiot. it's pretty unfortunate. :-/ OH WELL LIFE IS SAD</p>
<p>Good point Dally. However, ignorance is sad, not life.</p>

<p>Write this for the end of the world essay (originally a joke off a blog lol):</p>
<p>The biggest disappointment I have ever faced was my early decision rejection from the California Institute of Technology. I did everything I was supposed to–I filled out the CSS profile along with my application, I had four people proofread my essays. Going to Cal Tech was my dream, and two weeks ago I had it crushed before me.
After making sure that the letter was correct and that I had been, indeed, rejected–it was hard to get through to their admissions office on a Saturday night, but I managed–I did what I would be expected to do. I don’t remember anything past the sixth beer. I woke up the next morning with a noose around my neck, lying next to a Swedish hooker. I was somewhere in Los Angeles–a long way from my home in Clovis, New Mexico, but very close to the dream that had been burned before my very eyes.
I did what any potential MIT student would do in that situation. After prying Sven, the hooker, off of me, I took a Taxi to Pasadena. I went to the Cal Tech admissions office with a tank of propane and a couple of lighters.
I remain permanently scarred from the events that ensued and, the next day, was put into therapy after attempting to hang myself in the jail cell. I was moved to a mental institution in Albuquerque and was given exactly what, at that point in time, I needed: An application to MIT.
It was my turn to take initiative, and I attacked the application, ready to attempt to get into the second best college in the world. It was hard, but I managed to fill out the entire thing before I attempted to make myself so thirsty that I died. I woke up, again, in a hospital, with my throat parched and a drip in my arm. The nurses told me I had been talking in my sleep–something about how I would never be second best and that I would never go to MIT, even if they accepted me. I could not accept the rejection letter–it haunted me like some kind of ghoul.
Feeling alone and forlorn, I forced myself, again, to fill out the MIT application. I knew that I had to, somehow, get over that disappointment and do what I had to do–accept myself as a second-rate student that can only find himself where he belongs–at a second rate college.</p>
<p>^Hahahahaha, brilliant stuff, and well-written as well :P</p>
<p>The humor in that essay is a little too caustic for me though... ~_~</p>
<p>I want to be accepted to MIT so I can further my studies on something extremely foreign to me: nerds. In my essay, I will discuss nerd culture as a whole, as well as their interest in subjects that are confusing to the average human brain, such as my own -- math, science and technology.</p>
<p>In all seriousness, props to anyone that's been accepted.</p>
<p>oh my god that end of the world essay is amazing</p>
<p>"if you don't accept me i will just kill myself and try again in another universe"</p>
<p>like, u should totally admit me 2 MIT cuz im completely hott so im sure i can get boyz 2 do my work 4 me thatz how i got thru high school n stuff, right?</p>
<p>Its kinda funny how Massachusetts institute of tech is always known as MIT and California institute of tech is known as CalTech.
Nobody says CIT or MassTech</p>
<p>-Intercept the out-going mail of somebody else applying to MIT, cross out their name in all the blanks and write your own. Or copy everything they put down (but with your name), and then write in the "do you have anything else to say?" blank that your psychiatrist says you're paranoid, but he's just out to get you, and that whoever's application you're copying is watching your every move and that he's probably plagiarizing every word you say. Then send in yours, and send his the next day.</p>
<p>-Just send in a letter-bomb as supplementary material, with a cover letter that says obscure things like "Here's some of my best work", "With an MIT education, I could probably increase the efficiency of future versions of the enclosed device by an order of magnitude" and things of that nature.</p>
<p>-Say how you want to conduct ground liftoff testing from Killian Court on an Orion Drive spacecraft (Project</a> Orion (nuclear propulsion) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) for your UROP.</p>
<p>-Send in 3 applications, each one claiming that you have multiple personality disorder.</p>
<p>^ hahaha @ mult. personalities</p>
<p>from the facebook group "overheard at MIT"</p>
<p>(in an elevator)
Girl: It was just a fun thing to do. We were really drunk, so we decided to apply. He had like, the lowest GPA on the face of the earth.
Guy: And he didn't get in?
Girl: (shakes head) I didn't think I would get in, either.</p>
