@CC Please, it’s barnard. admissions, like the girls, will take anyone.
@Bahahaha... Too funny!! Keep ’em coming!
@LOL!1! z0MG!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!! uR soOOoO0 FUnnIii n OriGiNAL!!
@lol as if thats gonna help her get a better admission hahaha
@honey \don’t forget to tell them about your 5 hour internship at Goldman Sachs and how you saved that child from poverty by teaching him math that afternoon\
@me Would work better at Cornell School of Hotel Administartion. How many other applicants have been to the Hotel Rwanda?
@It's irritating that people do such things in the pursuit of rewards as superficial as getting into the colleges of their choice. Useful– no doubt beneficial to those in need. But still irritating.
@Well... Barnard is not even Ivy League–it wishes it were as good as CC.
C’mon girls–get your panties in a twist. “Dislike my statement”!
@BC'13 not at all everyone is entitled to their own opinion
@you're clearly not. but i bet you’ll still put columbia ’13 on your resume.
@The college admissions process... Is retarded.
@seriously it’s unfortunate that mom is right and that girl DOES need to remember to tell them that she went to rwanda…seriously, you can’t get anywhere in the college admissions system without basically being a braggy asshole about how fucking unique you are.
@And then you go out into the real world and realize that in your coveted internship, only a few of the actual employees actually hail from an ivy league university, even in finance. just my experience.
@balarky if you went to rwanda and actually did anything there that was at all mildly helpful to anyone or anything except for your own resume, you would probably not need to be reminded to tell a college admission board about it.
people who are truly qualified to go to a university have no need to brag. their qualifications speak for them.
@barnard alum yeah, I actually did nothing spectacular in high school… a little generic hard work got me into barnard.
@Anonymous Don Draper dated a ‘beautiful, strong’ Barnard woman, and she dumped him.
@LOL Don Draper must be a real loser then…
@Mad (Wo)Men OH HEY, DON DRAPER NAME-DROPPED BARNARD TONIGHT. Well, at least Barnard in 1964…
@hey hey barnard just garnered a mention on mad men!
@? I don’t get it.
@Anonymous “Don’t tell them all you got was a lousy t-shirt.”
