Princeton Admission Application
<div class="IPBDescription">This is hilerious... and scary</div> For whatever reason I got an application from Princeton. Im guessing it was some mass mailing or something, but I've been looking through it for the past few days and it makes me scared... these are some of the questions (which must be written out by hand):
Tell us about one person who has affected your life in a significant way.
<i>My Dad for showing mw why I don't want to grow up to be like him, an unemployed deadbeat dad.</i>
If given one year to spend any way you wish, how would you spend it?
<i>Rolling around in piles of money.</i>
Two adjetives your friends would use to describe you.
<i>Witty and Outgoing, HA!</i>
Favorite source for news.
<i>Gamespy</i>
Each of these is followed by an intimidating 1/2 page of blank space to write your answer. I can't bring myself to even look at the thing or fill it out. I mean, if I don't send it in then I will never know if I would have gotten accepted or not. And if I get accepted then I have to drop all my plans to attend USF and move to New Jersey within 6 months. I wan't to get accepted, but at the same time I would be relieved if I didn't.
Oh yeah, Princeton tuition = $28,000 per year. USF tuition = $6,000 per year. Although I guess if I graduate from Princeton, I really wouldn't have a problem paying that off will I?
Did I mention this comes about a day after my Mom buys a house so we could live closer to USF? Yeah, bad timing isnt it?

The only decision you have to make is are you sure you would be totally commited to it?
Guess i'm going to have to settle for Reading or *insert dramatic music* PORTSMOUTH!
That way you save lots of money and u can still go to the other college.

Plus when they ask where you graduated from you don't tell them you went to Dirtball U.

Mine would be arrogant bastage
Damn straight, OSU rocks, that's where I'm planning on attending.
Candidate 1: Candidate 2:
GPA x.x GPA x.x
degree: bs Degree: bs
Tuition: Tuition:
$10k/yr $30k+/yr
Which one seems to be the more intelligent?
same degree, same courses. For undergraduate it all is the same in the end. You really know nothing anyway.
(for engineering at least)
Yeah, its just the fact that you have that piece of paper..thats about it.
Maybe in America, I don't know. But an employer over here would take on the guy who got a 2:2 from Oxford and not the 2:1 from Above Average Uni. Sad, but true.

It is a bit sad how that works.

But the MIT graduate will make more money, and get a job easilier.
After five-ten years experience, imo it wouldn't matter anymore.
[edit]Also, certain companies won't even interview you unless you graduated from the top 50 in the usnews report thingy. Stupid, but true. So wizard, i'd hafta say you're wrong.[/edit]
Just submit it by regular deadline's, that way YOUR not committed.
If you submit a college/uni application, you aren't guaranteeing that you will go there.

That can make a difference. In the US at least.
If you are going for a buisness or some computer thingy, you can go to a 2 year vocational school that will teach you in JUST buissness / computer classes where as in a full college you would have to take other classes like languages/ math, art classes etc. stuff that have nothing to do with what you want to do.
These types of schools are becoming very popular in the US and accepted in the job market.
Or maybe *insert creepy music* INNSMOUTH?

Dude, decisions about early applications COME OUT THIS WEEK. The deadline was like two months ago.
lol. I bet 4:1 against my getting into MIT.
and in the states, typically they give community college students priority in enrollment.
