<p>Woolooloo surprised to see me? Haven’t been here in forever!
Cool to see you guys still keepin’ it real… albeit at a slower pace. :)</p>
<p>I know I seem to return in a kinda moochery fashion, but… Any of you guys willing to give a last-minute lookover at one or both of my main application essays? I promise to be your best buddy forever with candy and sparkles if you do… I won’t even invade your homeland, even though–
I’m Prussia! The most invasive country in history!
(For old time’s sake.)</p>
<p>I appreciate any feedback, even simple things like “overall a thumbs up” or “needs some editing” or the dreaded “dude, just pick a new topic… …”
Hahaha.</p>
<p>Thanks to you too Pruss. You’re essays were pretty awesome. I’ll be submitting to Yale and Penn hopefully. Which means I’LL BE FREE OF COLLEGE APPS FOREVERRRRR… until graduate school…</p>
<p>I’d love to look at your essay, Prussia, if you read my common app essay
I need to finish my Princeton essay aw;eoifjds;ajfew. I swear, I’m just one large mass of writer’s block. </p>
<p>PS Wang, those aren’t college apps, those are graduate school apps which are DIFFERENT, so you will be free of college apps foreverrrr!!! Hahaha.</p>
<p>HAHAHAHA okay so someone awesome pointed this site out to me: stanfordrejects.com
Have you guys already seen this, am I like the last person on the planet to know about this website? Because I love it, a lot.</p>
<p>Absolutely! Yay. There’s two essays, by the way, but the first one’s comical so it may be easier on the eyes.</p>
<p>Haha wow, that is hilarious. I can’t believe they actually bought that domain name. Kinda self-denigrating humor there, but dang is it funny.</p>
<p>I kind of feel like I should have applied to Princeton, since my essays could fit their prompt without any extra work (and I have fee waivers, woo hoo!), but it’s kinda late now for transcripts and such. I don’t get back from break until the 4th.
Not sure it’d really be a “fit” anyway, but… Nothing’d be to lose in work-free fee-free applications, right? Oh well, hahaha.</p>
<p>Self-denigrating? I like to think that Stanford rejects are really the best applicants ever. Half the people still here are empirical evidence of this fact haha.</p>
<p>Wow lucky, I’d apply almost anywhere work-free, fee-free. Except for women’s colleges, they need to stop sending me those emails, I am not interested.</p>
<p>I liked the second one better actually, despite the fact that it wasn’t at all light-hearted (:</p>
<p>AGGGHHH I can’t stand my Princeton essay, I’ve been working on it all day and I still can’t write a good one, this is like Penn 217 all over again. Can someone read my shoddy little essay type thing… and promise not to judge me for it :|</p>
<p>Yay, thanks! Uhm, just promise that you’ll still think I’m a not-terrible writer ahaha.
I used the pick-your-own-quote prompt, so it’s pretty much “tell about an experience/event that changed your approach to life or defined one of your values”</p>
<p>Yeah, I feel like throwing an app at Yale because I’m 85% finished. I don’t necessarily want to go to Yale, but I love paid trips… so it’d be fun to go to Bulldog Days. LOL. Is that awful or what? I’m poor. I never go ANYWHERE. And I got a new carry-on for Christmas! Not that I have any reason to believe I’d be accepted (okay, well, not any reason to get cocky, anyway).</p>
<p>I love my name twin <3
You can have my essay writing skills/lackthereof, I don’t want them. I think we’d both be much better off stealing from someone else, perhaps someone who knows how to insert detail into stuff, lol!</p>
<p>Ahaah applicannot!! That’s the best reason to apply to Yale I’ve heard ever. But yeah, if you didn’t apply that would make more room for me. So I urge you not to imply. Just disregard the selfish overtones ;)</p>
<p>Awww, the old SCEAers were awesome Basically the people who were involved in “The Yale Wars,” and even a lot of those who were not. Obviously, collegeguy2014 (the guy who started this thread) is amazing too.</p>
<p>We were trying to beat Yale, who had 2000+ posts while we only had 500ish. And we wanted to win. Which led to a long evening in which some of us stayed up to see Yale get defeated.</p>
<p>Interestingly enough, Yale is my top choice now.</p>
<p>Hahahahhahahahah LOVE IT, I especially enjoyed the link to the Yale thread… man, Stanford is just so much cooler. And by Stanford I mean the people who posted on this thread, not the actual school, which I am no longer allowed to have attachments to. </p>
<p>Yale hardly ever takes more than 1 kid from my school, and someone got in EA. I mean, I’m still applying, but there go my chances haha.</p>
<p>Name twin, I think this IS the rejection party. Hahah :)</p>
