Backdoor to Ivy/1st Tier Acceptance? ANYONE can get in?

Applying to College
1

<p>Don’t like freak out, because this is probably hogwash, but as of Today, I’ve heard this twice from 2 people. A friend of mine on Harvard’s waitlist is attempting this.</p>

<p>Apparently a few colleges have a system called “Wolf-Back Admissions.” Colleges that I remember hearing that have it are Harvard, Princeton, Duke, UIUC, UCB, and Grinnel. </p>

<p>What happens, apparetly, is you initially get rejected.
If you still really want to get in, you need to make a photo copy of your rejection letter and send it back to the college, postmarked to the date EXACTLY TWO WEEKS after the day the rejection letter was postmarked… but in addition, you need to send along a Plush Wolf. </p>

<p>Once the colleges receive the rejection letter photo-copy AND the plush wolf, they will reverse your admission decision and you will have an acceptance letter within 3 weeks.</p>

<p>And I guess you get your wolf back too.</p>

<p>… I know I sound dumb. This is probably just a rumor going around my school, but the fact that I’ve now heard it from 2 people makes me curious.</p>

<p>LOL. Wow, that is funnier than the Cracked articles, and those are pretty darn amazing.</p>

<p>It’s not a stupid question, especially for someone anxious/rejected at one of those schools (I was). But it is hogwash.</p>

3

<p>That’s what I thought. I just wanted to make sure…</p>

4

<p>Oh, it’s true. Be sure to do it.</p>

<p>That’s how I got into Duke.</p>

<p>…But I never got my wolf back ='[</p>

<p>Where you drunk or high when you typed this? </p>

<p>I’m pretty sure the answers no on this one.</p>

<p>Awhile back I joked that if you got rejected from every ivy you call Harvard’s Director of Admission, tell him and you get admitted. I got 25 PMs, mostly asking exactly how to get him on the phone.</p>

<p>I remember reading that one hmom, haha.</p>

<p>Wow, the real question to this one is, where do you go about buying a stuffed wolf? I mean, it’s not like that’s the most popular stuffed animal. I wonder, if you sent them a stuffed DOG instead would they say, “Well…nice attempt! We’ll put you on the waitlist for your effort!”</p>

<p>So if everyone does this, everyone gets accepted? 10 people per dorm room, 1000+ people per lecture? ;)</p>

<p>Life is not a videogame. No, you cannot press up, up, down, down, left, right ,left, right, B,A is gain 32 lives. =P
I sometimes wish I had more lives though</p>

11

<p>My goodness. The amount of common sense of some people – and they expect H admissions to consider them even half-way seriously. </p>

<p>I wouldn’t have this kid wash my car with this level of critical thinking.</p>

12

<p>^ He’s clearly kidding. It’s a stuffed BEAR.</p>

13

<p>

If this practice was in place, don’t you think a few more people in the world would know about it? </p>

<p>Just curious: what would the significance of the wolf be?</p>

14

<p>trolltrolltrolltrolltrooll</p>

<p>lol</p>

15

<p>lol.</p>

<p>This person is either ridiculously stupid/gullible (and shouldn’t be accepted) or is kidding.</p>

16

<p>no guys this really works if you hold your breath and repost this in 5 forums with the title “secret admission”</p>

17

<p>I’m not saying that I think “Wolf-Back Admissions” are real, but I have also heard of them several times. Or atleast something very similar.</p>

<p>The wolf academically represents new, blossoming knowledge, and sending this wide array of knowledge, or a symbol there of, to a university shows passion. So it sort of makes sense.</p>

<p>But the fact that I have heard of Wolf-Back Admissions or the like makes me want to look further. I will be attempting this feat this fall.</p>

<p>FIRST OF ALL: All well-versed Contra players know that the code does not end at A, you must hit START to seal the deal.</p>

<p>SECONDLY: You only get 30 lives, not 32.</p>

<p>Gosh, the ignorance of some people on this board!</p>

19

<p>wow.</p>

<p>that’s rather creative…</p>

<p>LoonLake: Did you know if you post “I AM GULLIBLE” (be sure to put all caps) you will automatically be promoted to being a moderator?</p>

<p>In all seriousness, just because many people believe something doesn’t mean its true. Many people believe Obama is the antichrist, that doesn’t mean he is.</p>
