admissions committees

[oiseauaudio]

I was just musing about all-powerful admissions committees.

After reading some application process horror stories included in Donald Asher's "Graduate School Admissions: Write your way into the grad school of your choice" book-

(he includes some anecdotes about how in attempts to spruce up their applications/ stand out from the crowd, various applicants submitted poems, photo-essays, songs, a giant cookie and even a picture drawn by their little sister reading "Please let my sister in!" along with their applications- NB: these applicants were rejected!)

...so, i was just thinking it would be funny to see if and what admissions committee members receive from applicants, in attempts to win admission into their top choice schools.

if anyone has any input on this, i think it'd would be quite funny to mull over, and i'm bored at work!

and NO, I'm not planning on bribing any adcoms! hah!

Good luck everyone on your applications this time around!
