What's the dumbest advice anyone ever gave you about college?

<p>“You’re an international, it’ll be easier for you to get in.” (I kid you not).
“Don’t get recommendations from teachers who like you unless they’re teaching what you want to major in.”
“Amherst is a dumb school. Northwestern is a crappy school.”</p>

<p>I get the lawyer thing too, way too much.</p>
