<p>I’m adcom 2. Crystal Chandalier-Your GPA is especially disappointing in respect to your spectacular performance on the ACT and SAT. However, your EC’s are moving and even though I am a robot adcom, I still almost shed .33 of a tear when I read your powerful and meaningful essays. I just have to say that I don’t think that you will be able to withhold the extreme academic rigor of Chauncy Hill’s mandatory freshman courses:“Underground stock car racing” and “5 steps to becoming an elitist snob.” So, Crystal, I have to say:you’re fired! Uhh…I mean rejected!</p>
