Avoid Saying This in Your Essay

The "Why us?" question is so stupid.

[emperor]

it's so sad we have to lie to succeed in anything. they know we're choosing schools based on rankings. it's not like we're gonna choose the worst one because we like it somehow. they want us to tell them sweet lies to stroke their egos.

[hariodinio]

"mentioning ranking is superficial"
also colleges: *ranking is our main selling point*

[thuyvannguyenthi]

"Why us?"
- Because you are the only f*cking college in my place

[carameldansen]

"why us"
I missed my chance with other schools, now accept me damn it

[christophermoore]

Remember when we were taught honesty is the best policy?

This shit is fucking insane to me as an Australian. Here we just apply to whatever university we want and get in based on our score. No essay required.

[garlicxi]

"Why us?"
I need degrees so that I don't go piss poor living in the streets so PLEASE

[yitraboom]

"well you got perfect scores on every test you've ever taken but you hurt our feelings when you said you wanted to go here because we were a good school. What you should have said is: I love the lessons and teachers and I love the person accepting admissions the most"

[tacticallemon]

i love how wild the idea of getting into college is

Pay to take a test, so you have a chance of writing to us why you should be able to pay us to learn here

“Why us?” is the stupidest question a school can ask.

[daveplayz]

"Why us?"
I don't want to be a disappointment for my Asian parents

[goharsguide]

Instead of focusing on the ranking, focus more on the resources, programs, clubs, and professors that draw you to the school.

[judiiiW]

“why us?”
no shit, its an Ivy League school that’s why 💀

[Noob_son]

“Why us”
BECAUSE I NEED TO GET INTO THIS DAMN COLLEGE OR ELSE MY ASIAN MOM WILL MURDER ME

[katzmn]

"why us?"
"because my mom forced me to."

[gorillazd]

that’s like the equivalent of “why should we hire you” “because you pay good” in a job interview

[LeatherNinja]

Random guy: "You're school is really good in ranking for what I want"
School: and I took that personally

[jellyboredtodothis]

"why us"
*I already spent My time*

[popelgruner]

Meanwhile in Germany: You just apply to a university or university of applied science and you are done. No competitive business and barely any fees.
