Conversations that never happened!
Given the high school preparation of many students, we have to assume that some high school seniors believe certain conversations regularly occur behind closed doors in admissions offices around the country. Now, with the help of sophisticated technology and hidden microphones and after reviewing hundreds of hours of admissions conversation . . . we can report with absolute certainty that the following conversations have never occurred within an admissions office or on the campus of a top tier college. Revealed here for the first time, these are the secret admissions conversations that never happened . . . ever. If you’re a high school senior and you actually think they sound reasonable then you need to get a grip . . . and a new attitude!
Conversation #5
The pleasant college town of Princeton, New Jersey is conveniently located about halfway between Manhattan and Philadelphia. Today, two Princeton University admissions officers gaze out at the world famous campus where Albert Einstein once taught and begin the decision process on an application . . .
Admissions Officer #1 : Wow, we have to take this kid! Average grades, average board scores, not much extracurricular activity but look at this . . . they’re totally cool. Everyone in their high school class thinks they’re hot. If they always hang with the hotties . . . how can we say “no”?
Admissions Officer #2 : I agree. That’s exactly what made Princeton great in the first place. I mean what are we supposed to do . . . accept a bunch of “Dudley Dorights” with super grades and 800 SAT scores? How lame would that be? You know we have a reputation here. Are we gonna take more Einstein’s or a kid like this?
Admissions Officer #1 : You’re right . . . maybe they didn’t accomplish much in high school but they’re ‘Abercrombie cool’! And that means they’re in as far as I’m concerned.
Admissions Officer # 2 : Totally! Pass me that pen so I can mark the folder ‘accepted’.
