to get adcoms that would never give me a chance in heck to A)notice me and B) give me an interview
i figure since i have no chance anyway, doing something out of the ordinary to get their attention wouldn't hurt me....any ideas? anyone ever do something, or hear of someone doing something, crazy or creative that got the attention of a school?

I think sending a video of yourself meowing couldn't hurt...

she would have to be naked of course

Naked, meowing, bending over, and in some way or form, covered with either strawberries or strawberry sauce(since she's strawberry flavored).


Sorry, male hormones.
 
okay, but would that get me an interview? it'd get their attention that's for sure....

Thanks 😀.

Good luck to you too.


Hey btw, Hershey chocolate + strawberry = mmmm, nevermind. Sorry, male hormones again.
 
with the exception of kashue's very last sentence, can I just say...

aw, you guys!
 
you're right, they go well together.....lets hope the adcom thinks so.........
 
For my undergrad applications (yes, all of them) I sent in an essay that began:

"Chairman Mao had purple-spotted underpants. And tie-dyed ones, blue zebra striped, or frilly with pink fringe."

The prompt? "Describe your most significant activity." And I did, too. It got me in...😀

Dude. I don't even understand your sentences. Presumably, you are arguing that Mao Zedong had a multi-colored wardrobe. What I don't get is the "or" at the end of the second sentence. Did he have all of these, or are you speculating that his undies must have taken on one of the aformentioned hues.

I can only imagine what your most significant activity is. I can only hope it is an activity that most people wear underwear for.

Merry X-Mas.😍

Sounds like you were dreaming. 😎

ahh chairman mao...the person i said id invite to dinner.

but i wish our chinese polisci class did go into his underwear. i think i could have done well on that essay prompt. 😀
 
I read that one pre-med student sent an adcom a door (an actual door!) with a shoe glued to it with the note : "I really want to get my foot in the door!". While it got enough attention to be sited in a book, it didn't help him get an interview.

Good luck though....!
 
hmmm....well that's an idea.....anyone else? anyone? anyone?

I think my idea was the best 😀.
 
hmmmmmm How about turning tricks on 3rd ave in NYC and then getting your customers to write you some LORs? Hey don't knock it. If I do not get in this year, that will be my job for the next year! hmmmm Maybe I can network on SDN. :laugh: :laugh:
