I am Lord Stannis Baratheon, First of his name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm. 3.52/32, Trad., 2015 Applicant.

Good men and true will suffer rejection, both silent and lettered, and falsely believe that they have wasted their efforts this cycle. But know this, you must march on. If you do not press your claims, your claims will be forgotten. I have lost thousands of men at the hands of Lannisters and Boltons. Ravens from all across the seven kingdoms have brought rejection letters from these treasonous ADCOMs.

They thought I was broken after the Battle of Blackwater (Lost 20,000 men, Blackwater Bay).
They thought I would never attain a competitive GPA (3.09, 1st three semesters).
They thought I would abandon my duties after my first MCAT score (26).
They thought these failures and these rejection letters would stop me.

Never. I am Stannis Baratheon. I will fight to the bitter end and then some. And so too, should you. Great or small, we must all do our duty. Cease the panicking and the neurotic behavior. You know you have worked hard, you know you have the heart, and you know that you are fully capable. Now is the time for steel nerves and patience.

I may add that there is no shame in failing to obtain an acceptance this year. There is no shame in taking a number of gap years. I ask you, what is a few years to a lifetime of learning and service?

Take my sigil, the fiery crowned stag as your avatar and be reborn amidst smoke and salt. Bend the knee to none other than Lord Stannis Baratheon, the rightful king of Westeros.

Look to your sins, penguins. For the medschool application process is dark and full of terrors.
 
I posted the details of my failed application to Boston University on a separate thread, but here it is again. Take note, you neurotic low-borns. House Boston did not strike their banners for the one true king of Westeros, but I have forgiven them. I appointed Davos, a man I trust, but a man that is barely literate and missing fingers, to write my application... It was a mistake of my own.

Personal Statement: I am Lord Stannis Baratheon, First of his name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm. All ADCOMs must strike their banners and bend the knee for the one true king of Westeros.

B.U. Secondary, "Describe Yourself": Davos Seaworth saved our lives by smuggling food to our cause during the siege of Dragonstone. I granted him a lordship, but severed his fingers for his crime of being a smuggler.

ECs:
- First of his name *
- King of the Andals
- Also King of the First Men
- Lord of the Seven Kingdoms *
- Protector of the Realm *
* = most meaningful experiences

I've been laughing so hard I've been struggling for air after some of these posts you've written recently. You win. I have taken your sigil.
 
Lord Stannis Baratheon, I issue you a challenge. I challenge you to fight me for the throne of Westeros. For this is the Game of Thrones and we are both but mere competitors. Everyone here knows me by my first name "Skip Junior" but my last name is Stark. I'm the illegitimate son of Ned Stark. No, my last name is not Snow. I have earned the name "Stark" through my victories at the Wall.

Know this, I'm also an expert on endurance. Although I have no interviews to boast of so far, I'm patient. I will wait for several more months before I let worry creep into my mind. In the face of overwhelming odds and terrible adversity, I smile and state "I still live". I'm sure you have heard of the ancient Gods of Westeros. The ones who applied diligently every cycle until they were accepted in their 3rd or 4th cycle.

I am one of them.

Where is the part about the creepy Red Woman?
Stannis is just a whiny wannabe who succumbs to his lust for Melisandra of Asshai and the throne.

I will pledge my honor and service to Daenerys of the House Targaryn.
She's got Dragons, probably a 3.9 GPA a 35 MCAT.
She rocks her volunteer work to release the slaves.
SHe suffers no fools, and allows no traitors in her midst.

You are duly challenged, my lord.

Lord Eddard Stark was an honorable man... and he would have lost his head going through this process once, never mind 3 or 4 cycles.

You forgot:
King of the Rhoynar
Azor Ahai
Bearer of Lightbringer

When time comes, I shall have Davos send an update raven.

Send me your address...I'd like to mail you enough money to buy yourself many rounds of drinks.

Cheers, very funny, Lord.

I acknowledge your gesture, but the Iron Bank of Braavos is financing my cause. All I ask is that you bare my sigil and pledge fealty.
 
Just send adcoms a link to this thread - you'll probably be accepted right then and there.

You are duly challenged, my lord.

Is this how you address a lord?

Daenerys Targaryen is across the Narrow Sea. The Targaryen has three dragons, but can control none. Make no mistake, she is a talented international applicant, but a tried and battle-tested commander? No. There is only one reliable leader left in Westeros.

Bend the knee or be destroyed.

Let the games begin. A tried and true commander?? Hmm, many have underestimated Daenerys before and look where they are now
(mostly burnt to a crisp).

May Daenerys have mercy on your soul, and only relegate you to the wall of reapplicants with an avatar of Stannis Baratheon and all those penguins.
She is rallying her forces, and will crush your legions and those of the South Pole, leaving you all to beg for mercy.

I challenge you to change your avatar to the mightly Targaryen, and your fortunes will be favored by the 7 Gods.

lmao. I always laugh at these posts, but I've recently began to genuinely wonder if you talk like this in real life 24/7 haha
 
I completely forgot this existed. I wanna see what the redacted post was!
