I don't see ads nor do I see any way to create income. I'm confused as to how it is profitable for you.This blog doesn’t generate revenue. We do this for free.

Is there anything I can do to make my application less attractive so I get rejected?Step 1: Call and cancel application at the school. Step 2: Tell mom to back the fuck off.

I've been reading this blog since it started--I find it funny and sad and amazing all at the same time. I shared the link with my staff, because I know they all appreciate being able to share a laugh with someone who "gets it" sometimes. So keep on keeping on. I think counselors and students should take the advice on this blog in the spirit in which it's offered. If they'd read this, rather than bitch, they'd be better off!http://admissionsproblems.tumblr.com/post/50382275673http://admissionsproblems.tumblr.com/post/50382275673Mon, 13 May 2013 20:38:09 -0400untitledapAre you a moron? Looking forward to you getting outed (and fired). I will enjoy the irony of you going back to school to try to become "marketable." Until then, enjoy $42k, loser.$42,000??? HOLY SHIT!

I know you probably won't tell and the admissions deadline has probably passed, but this blog has actually made me want to apply to the school you work for (even as a transfer next year). If it'll make you any more inclined to disclose which school that is, I have a 1460 SAT score and am a National Merit Finalist. *wink wink* Btw, I love your blog and the fact that I have yet to find anything I've done on my own applications ridiculed here. Is this offer still on the table?

This page is like stalking an ex on twitter to see what they're up to after a decision. It's horribly addicting. I don't know whether to say good job to you all or not, because it is a guilty pleasure.This is fantastic. Probably one of our favorite comments from a high schooler this year.
