So anyway, when I visited one of the schools I applied to, they shared the funniest college essay that they had received in the last application process. The essay was titled standardized test and the student had very high SAT scores. "Just because my SAT scores low don't mean I stupid" ...and that was all that the student wrote :lol: The head of admissions of the college's response was "accepted immediately because I give him/her props for seeing if we actually read the essay." Anyway, I thought you guys would enjoy that!
Yes, they were accepted and I will not disclose the college for their sake. The student did have a 2310 on their SAT though and deserved to be accepted on other credentials, but his essay is hilarious.
My 8th grade replacement teacher (my real teacher left without notice forever) said he answered an essay question similarly. It was like, "What happens when you throw a rock in the water?". Then another question said "Why?". He answered why not? And said he passed.
I once had wrote an essay about alcoholism, and later included in my conclusion that I could've been classified as an alcoholic. I had wrote that it took me 3 glasses of wine to write the essay and that it was my coping method for the hatred of essays. It was only 2 sentences long. My professor highlighted them, and wrote "how funny, but no personal references" ... And I still managed an A.
Planes trains and plantains is the greatest essay hands down, I recommend every reading it is hilarious
There's this guy that was doing his psychology degree. In his exam he wrote 'because' and he passed lol
I heard a similar story. It was a psychology exam and the question asked "what is courage". A student wrote "this is" and handed it in. Total badass
Wow that person has guts ! And yes many colleges/universities don't read the applications they simply use an automated system to pick out key words. If you've used one of their key words for your chosen subject you're accepted in.
They don't read it? My life is a lie! But anyway, he does have guts. Reminds me of that scene from Ted when he gets hired and promoted.
Wow that mean my high school teachers made a fuss for months to get essays right and then the colleges don't read them? Dang it!! I wish I would have known that 3 years ago! I would have bs essays.
