Is It Possible to Find Humor in the College Application Process?

The admissions departments at Bates and Vassar Colleges have compiled a list of bloopers from their admissions essays: “If there was a single word to describe me, that word would have to be "profectionist”. “I was abducted into the national honor society.” “In my senior year, I am serving as writting editor of the yearbook.”

“I want to be bilingual in three or more languages” “I have made the horror role every semester.” “I want a small liberal in the northeast part of the country.”

“Bates is a college I can excell in.” “I am writing to tell you that I was very discouraged when I found out that I had been differed from Bates.” “I am thinking of possibly transferring to your college. I applied as an undergraduate but was weight listed.”

“I first was exposed through a friend who attends Vassar.” “My mother worked hard to provide me with whatever I needed in my life, a good home, a stale family and a wonderful education.” “The worst experience that I have probably ever had to go through emotionally was when other members of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and I went to Pennsylvania for their annual pigeon shooting.”
