This is an urban legend that I heard from my friend and she heard it from her friend whose friend says she actually knows the student in question in this story. So I believe it. About two years ago the essay question on the Yale supplement was "What's the riskiest thing you've ever done?" One boy writes "FUCK YOU." He gets in.
The college application process is ridiculous. "In 10 words or less, explain your entire life, and then write a limerick that includes the words 'tiger' and 'spontification.'" I hate. Everything.
So, around the same time I became strikingly liberal, I lost my cell phone. Then I got a replacement cell phone. It was sweet. Now, my replacement cell phone has like, 0 people in its library, and Monica was sad. So email her your numbers, or post them, or whatever. Because she misses you. MJ
