The Weirdest College Essay

[RandomNulls]

The “it wouldn’t have helped if the kid didn’t have the goods” makes it sound like the kid is dealing drugs to the admissions dean

I was looking up different colleges in my area a couple of days ago & now I can't stop running into this guy or getting ads for different colleges lol.

[haylicewatters]

I like how the college went like "he's academically good so it's creative". Creativity has nothing to do with academic intelligence.

"Why should we accept you?"
"So I can become successful, have 5 kids and send them all here in the future. You're all smart people and I trust that you recognise an investment when you see one."

I'm pretty sure he had the confidence to do this because of his grades.

Edit 2: I have corrected again that Similes and Metaphors are similar but Similes don't fall into a category under metaphors.
Edit: I have been corrected a couple times now that Similes are in fact Metaphors. I moved this up because it seems that people still do not see it.
Hate to be that person but the statement "My life is like a water balloon." is not a metaphor because of the inclusion of "like". It is a simile.

if you have good grades it's creativity, if you have bad grades it's stupidity

This guy probably went "I don't know wether I will get in or not. So let's make their lives hell"

My life is like homework. Nobody likes me and nobody does me.

And you'll get accepted for submitting a blank piece of paper. If you can run fast and/or throw balls very far.

And the most important thing: they're humans doing their JOBS, don't make it difficult for them

[womps]

Smart kid: creative
Average kid: obnoxious

“Why should we accept you?”
Answer: “because I said so” had me rolling on the floor 😂😂😂😂

[purpleplant]

The "random metaphor" my life is like a baloon is actually called a witty conceit

[LiterallyLance]

Why should we accept you?

"I promise that you'll never find another like me"

[Avoxxii]

So you can get away if your grades are good....seems fair enough actually

[coopercouden]

I hadn't read any essays before writing mine so I ended up using both a meta style and an anti essay style without knowing it's generally not a good idea, but I just got accepted to Cornell yesterday soooo :)

This show schools value more of your grade than your education

[GargoyleHunter]

Education when you solve thousands of problems In only a month: SO SLOW YOU NEED TO SPEED UP.

Education system when they have to solve one problem in a year: I fear no man, but this thing, it scares me.
