<p>I am soo stealing from other forums... but I want to hear what Cornell ppl think about this one. Mine is:</p>
<p>How's about I write page 342 of YOUR autobiography: "After flunking out of Cornell school, Kermit Dowling decides to pursue a career in college admissions . . . ."</p>
<p>writing your essay based on how much crimson means to you</p>
<p>forgetting to change the "..and this is why Columbia University is my ultimate dream school" on the last line of your cornell essay.</p>
<p>LOL, I hope you are joking biggyboy, otherwise you are screwed!</p>
<p>no actually you aren't!</p>
<p>I knew a guy who did a similar thing. He wrote to the college and faxed his 'corrected' essay. He got accepted.</p>
<p>" How lucky am I ? You are my safety school and the school I love the best"</p>
<p>Am I going to suicide during or after my stay in Cornell?</p>
<p>So do you think USC would allow you to change your application essay? I did the unfortunately same thing with forgetting to change the college name. What would I have to write to them? Or am I already automatically rejected? Thanks if you could reply back!</p>
<p>How can you write the same essay for every college on why you want to go there?</p>
<p>because most of the time why do u want to go to blah blah blah, is complete bs when u are applying to ur saftey school or w/e. When u apply to cornell or ur top choice u give ur real answer after that u dont really even want to go to the next schools if u have a better choice in mind so ur lieing ethier way. Might as well save some time and re-use the same essay</p>
<p>At a Yale info session:</p>
<p>"We love it when we read essays in which applicants express their love for Yale, but its funny how so many people misspell Yale "H-A-R-V-A-R-D""</p>
<p>lol this is hilarious. i never actually did that, i've never applied to cornell but will this next semester as a transfer. nyu had a similar info session.</p>
<p>hahaha oh man. I never knew people does stuff like that!!! Hilarious.</p>
<p>"FYI: It's spelled Gorgeous"</p>
<p>lol now that would just be too pompous not too mention embarrassing.</p>
<p>Another Yale Info Session:</p>
<p>Please check your essays, spellcheck doesn't work on everything. Try parents or peers.
Don't say I like to torture students when you meant i like to tutor students.</p>
<p>I love how my thread is spreading. Bwahahah!</p>
<p>With that being said:</p>
<p>"I'm applying to the Arts and Sciences School, because I don't want to go to the public schools of Cornell, because they are not really ivy league schools"</p>
<p>I'm Corny like Cornell. </p>
<p>I like excessively flat land.</p>
