How not to get into any college

College Confidential Community
1

<p>1. Send you applications late. Really late. Start sending them from 15th of Feb; send the last one on 1 March(For colleges with Deadline 1 January)</p>

<p>2. Don’t send PU Supplement essay. In place of that send your Why Penn Essay. Do remember to replace Penn with Princeton.</p>

<p>**3. ** Try your best to do as much typos as possible in your Essays.</p>

<p>4. Never give your Essay to your English teacher for checking.</p>

<p>5. End your Essays with “I am a sum of my experiments Blah Blah…”</p>

<p>6. Send a email to college mentioned “I really love (enter rival college’s name)”</p>

<p>7. Trash your Essays. Write Essays which are a million miles from the quote. Make as many grammatical errors as possible.</p>

<p>8. If you are a Int’l mention your EFC as 100$ so colleges think that you are non-serious.</p>

<p>9. Study at most a day for your ACT/SAT. Instead waste time on CC.</p>

<p>??? ok…</p>

3

<p>I only studied for the ACT the day before (got a 30) and am going to college…</p>

4

<p>I did 4 and 9. My English teachers were notably unhelpful (e.g. “this is good”) so I just stopped bothering - and I still don’t understand how you can study for the SATs beyond doing a basic math review.</p>

<p>I also had a bit of 3, but that was less intentional. And I got in to college!</p>

<p>(PS: Why is essays capitalized? It’s not a proper noun. [/editor])</p>

5

<p>yeah I also did 4 and 9. I just couldn’t bring myself to study for the SAT’s until the night before at like 11:00.</p>

<p>People, you’ll need to do follow all nine of nine points if you want to get rejected from all colleges.</p>

<p>Nah, You mailed your application on time.</p>

15

<p>A friend of mine actually said her EFC is 300$…and was convinced the schools will flip out over this big amount of money…no kidding. Don’t you just love my poor country?</p>
