<p>My alumni interviewer told me to send a pig figurine with his name on it?</p>
<p>Any idea what this means? He is a very elderly lawyer.</p>
<p>lol…what the hellabit.</p>
<p>Lol what?!</p>
<p>is he a member of the porc (the porcellian - it’s a finals club - they collect pigs)?</p>
<p>Dooooooo itttttt!</p>
<p>Come to think of it I did ask him about that at the very beginning. That’s like the Harvard skull and bones right?</p>
<p>Odd- really skeptical.</p>
<p>Very awesome… I wish I had an interviewer like that</p>
<p>this is the best thing to have ever happened to anyone. straight out of the porcellian’s secret website for alumni interviewers:</p>
<p>“it can be argued that the ultimate test of strength and virtue is the pig exam. ask your interviewee to send you a figure of a pig with your name on it. the student who does not send in the pig should automatically be winnowed out of the pile – that person lacks the passion to act. the student who sends in a two-dimensional pig (a cut-out for example), should be kept waiting – consider the other, more brilliant figurines. if no one has sent a three-dimensional figure, pick out of the best two-dimensional cut-outs the best student to advocate. if someone has sent a three-dimensional figure of pig, they are what harvard must have, what harvard needs, and what harvard deserves. if someone has had the courage to send in a live pig, they should not only be admitted to harvard, but they should become automatic members of the porcellian.”</p>
<p>^ Lol, “if someone has the courage to send in a live pig…” I feel a reality TV show coming on… Ladies and Gentleman! Welcome toooo “What Would YOU Do For a Harvard Acceptance?”. And now, here is our host, the man who rejected Jesus himself, Dean Fitzsimmons!! (Loud fake applause)</p>
<p>Dean: Thank you every one! (fake smile, hokey laugh) Today’s challenges will involve… LIVESTOCK! Let’s go meet our semifinalists! </p>
<p>(Oooh, I could go on with this one for hours!)</p>
<p>Dean F: How many of you are willing…TO EAT A LIVE COW?</p>
<p>You get 3 hours to kill, masticate, and swallow as much of your cow as you possibly can!</p>
<p>Ready? Steady? (Is it Set? or Steady? I’ve heard both…) GO!</p>
<p>Me: …but…I’m a vegetarian!..</p>
<p>Dean F: Too bad, biotch!</p>
<p>And then we could get those Just for Men actors to come, and every time a student can’t/won’t do a challenge, they go, “Oooh, Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeejected!” </p>
<p>(IDK about the LIVE cow- PETA may be pretty mad!)</p>
<p>yo, mal – what went down? i am anxious to know.</p>
<p>hahahhahahahahahahhaha that’s AWESOME. I’d love to have an interviewer like that (who would ask me to send him a pig figurine). tell us more!</p>
<p>HAHahahahahahahaaha this thread is making me laugh so much. They should do that for the On Harvard Time series. </p>
<p>Still. Dean Fitzsimmons rejected Jesus. Buuuurrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn</p>
<p>I noticed that Mal77 hasn’t commented, he/she must be out searching for a pig!</p>
<p>lmao. “the hunt.”</p>
