<p>Seeme25: OH MY GOD! I put up with it every night!</p>
<p>I sent the common app to Harvard for the hell of it (didn’t finish the supplement though since my mother was not about to pay $75 for an “obvious rejection”). Two weeks later a Harvard alum calls about an interview, and MY DAD GETS THE PHONE! He starts thinking Harvard is after me…that they WANT ME! </p>
<p>He still harasses me to this day for giving up my “one shot in life”…at the place where “the Kennedys went”. Harvard is number one…after which it’s Yale and then the U of Scranton and then the small, local LAC where my mom works.</p>
