I try--really hard sometimes--not to burst into laughter during a college interview. But it's tough when you get answers like these (all of which, by the way, are real).
- "I wish everyone would dress better" (Answer to "If you could change something about your high school, what would it be?") Maybe if you were applying to a fashion institute you could get away with this one.
- "Easy--I've wanted to go to Brown since grade school! My parents both went there, and..." (Answer to "Why do you want to attend my school?") Note that I don't interview for Brown.
- "Well, I don't really like being around a lot of people, so the sciences have always been very attractive." (Answer to "What's your favorite subject and why?") Even if it's true, why would you admit it?
- "Why?" (Answer to the question "What is your favorite academic subject?") I dunno.... maybe it has something to do with college?
- "A dwarf." (Answer to "What would you be if you could be anything?") This applicant would have gotten points for creativity, had Lord of the Rings not just come out.
