<p>I think Buffy makes a compelling case and I would, like, TOTALLY accept her in spite of her poor HS grades and deplorable attendance record. But if she can’t get into Northwestern, I’m pretty sure NYU or Yale might jump at the chance to cater to a class-cutting Vampire-Slaying celeb, since they have so readily embraced James Franco as a semi-fictional student. </p>

<p>Maybe that’s why I’m not an adcom? ;-D</p>

<p>Wait, were these actual personal statements? </p>

<p>I cringed as I read Buffy’s… it sounds like she just doesn’t care that much about school even if her intention was to say that “school came second to my career”. </p>

<p>Jenna and Andy’s were good. Aaron’s was really funny and sounded just like something out of Mean Girls (almost too much?)</p>

<p>No, they aren’t actual statements. I wasn’t sure for a second too. </p>

<p>Aaron’s was hilarious. I wish I had done that.</p>

<p>Anne Hathaway attended Vassar-that was the giveaway for me. But, very confusing at first!</p>
