What Colleges Would Say (And Sometimes Do)

Apply! Apply! Apply!
We don't know you, but we've seen what you are capable of and we like you!
High acceptance rates, low acceptance rates.
You don't want to know our tuition, though.
If only you had above average SAT scores.
You hope, you dream, you pray, but if you don't get accepted, there's other schools out there.
Today's just today.
Tomorrow you can write another essay.
Maybe someone will like it and give you a chance.
Interviews galore, so don't screw up.
We look for who you are, what you have in store,
But what we really want is someone who knows what they are doing.
We don't say that because we don't like discouraging youngsters,
Although, in tough situations, we have to and sound like monsters.
Come see this wonderful school.
We hope you enjoy your visit and come again! (If you get accepted)
