Worst thing to put on your application to Brown

<p>for real? I thought it was atleast on the DVD last christmas (X-mas 2005)</p>

<p>yeah probably wasn't 9th grade then..but I do know that it was before i turned in the app lol</p>

<p>Under the About Me Section:
"I am homophobic"
haha, forget getting in with that.:)</p>

<p>In the middle of your essay:</p>

<p>"I don't understand why we have to write stupid essays. I find it so pointless and inaccurate. Just wondering if you're actually reading this."</p>

<p>or just write an essay that goes a little something like like like this: "runaway love...runaway love...this school sucks...tis school sucks..." (but it doesn't so we have nothing to worry about!..until 5 days AH<em>blinks</em>)</p>

<p>These are funny! My S and I did the same thing when he was filling out his apps! Cut the tension a bit.</p>

<p>His were, if I recall:</p>

<p>It matches my eyes.</p>

<p>I want to commute, so it's either CCRI or Brown.</p>

<p>"I hate Brown people."</p>

<p>Then you offend them in multiple ways.</p>

<p>^That would be hilarious! lol</p>

<p>In your essay you write something like: "I don't even know why I am applying to this school. I, like, have no shot at getting in. If you guys accepted me, that would be sooo incredibly awesome."</p>

<p>someone once asked..."what can brown do for you?"
my reply most definitively: "GIT' R DONE"
...and accept me</p>

<p>ha</p>

<p>LOL!!! i absolutely hate that phrase. i hear it five, six times a day here.<br>
i kind of have a thing to not stick in the essays, although no one hears about it in time. "Well, UPS is my National Merit Scholarship sponsor, and I just want to show my appreciation towards them!"</p>

<p>If I wrote about how the Seth Cohen thing originally made me NOT want to go to Brown, but then later I changed my mind based on other factors, would that be too generic/bad in general?</p>

<ol>
<li>Serena van der Woodsen</li>
</ol>

<p>I think an essay that highlights your inability to make decisions and take responsibility would be the easiest way to get ignored.</p>

<p>“My mom suggested I do this summer research program, and my mentors there were with me every step of the way. Without their patient intervention, my tests would have been so difficult, I would have given up.”</p>

<p>That, or, “I was denied at Dartmouth Early Decision. If I can’t make my father proud, then at least I can become his enemy.”</p>

<p>1.“i am indian and brown befits my skin tone.”
2.“i hate liberals”
3.“boo, i didn’t get into harvard.”
^ these may warrant rejection. :D</p>

<p>anything regarding your obsession with the Harry Potter series especially the multiple restraining orders resulting from stalking Emma Watson</p>

<p>K. this thread just cemented my choice as Brown for #1. LOL</p>

<p>Haha, I was sooo tempted to make my “why Brown” one simple sentence:</p>

<p>Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry wouldn’t take me.</p>

<p>I probably would have done it, too, if it wasn’t for the fact that they’d then think I only want to go to stalk Emma :P</p>

<p>Tell them that you are a person who needs structure and discipline in his academics.</p>
