Best College Application Guide EVER!!!

Filed under Kids {28 comments}

My son is going to graduate from high school this year. Our mailbox has been filled with mail from potential colleges wooing him since last summer. Most of the material he receives is rather boring.

This one stood out.

MIT College application guide, best college application ever, geeks, nerds

    Awesome. :) The amateur artwork really sets it off nicely.

    That’s from a college?
    A 7 year-old did it?
    Those haikus do suck!

    See anyone can do it.

    Very cool. How come they never had stuff like that when we were that age? Of course, I didn’t even have to write an essay for my college app, so I shouldn’t complain.

    Really cool. The silliness takes the stuffiness right out of it.

    Nice :D

    Who knew MIT had such a great sense of humor?

    WOW that is GREAT!!!! It makes me want to run out and apply!

    Maybe scholarships
    Will be forthcoming for him.
    Wishing him the best!

    Rather a novel approach! I think I would look closely at that one if I were looking for a place in college.

    Yeah, MIT is pretty hard to get into but it’s still on the list.

    All of this “dead serious” stuff is intimidating. I’m so glad MIT takes a different approach! I love it!

    That form totally needs to be translated to Match.com or e-Harmony.

    Grrrr, personal profiles
    Learn to spot the desperate
    And just say no.

    Brilliant!

    I love the artwork. Show me a house on legs and I’ll buy whatever you’re selling.

    Love this!

    Almost makes me want to go back to college! However, I think I’d need more than a good haiku to get into MIT…

    I dreamed of MIT. But Dad went pale on seeing the $30,000 a year tuition fee for international students.

    For me too about a decade ago, when I was looking for an American university, the MIT brochure stood out from the rest.
    It was a rather small passport sized booklet with only the relevant information – in contrast to those that were large and colourful and weighed several kilos.

    It’s upwards of 50,000 now.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    You may have just opened yourself up to all kinds of house on legs spam.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    You and me both! I can’t even write a bad haiku, they’d never consider me.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    Fingers are crossed about the scholarships.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    Me too, because MIT is pretty intimidating already and I’m not the one applying there, I’ll just be the one who gets the bill.

  • http://www.redheadranting.com/ redheadranting

    My application consisted of where I lived. Since I lived in the state, and I wanted to go to the state university, I was accepted. Thank god. For fun I filled out a couple of other applications, it was an early lesson on rejection letters.

    Maybe you could start offering college degrees on Tribal Blogs! I hear those are all the rage these days!

  • http://thegoodthebadtheworse.blogspot.com Linda Medrano

    Damn! It would be awesome if he got accepted there!

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    How cool is that? Is he applying there? For real? He must be real brainy!

  • http://mommamiameaculpa.com meleahrebeccah

    that’s awesome! But wait…is he really applying to MIT?
