Hamilton Punked!
So what i did was to actually print up this official looking "BSAT Scores Reporting Form," which I filled out to show off my masterly 2340 composite and sent off to 2 colleges, Hamilton and University of Chicago to see what would happen. U of Chi just ignores it but some lady at Hamilton writes me back, saying, "Sorry, we don't accept the BSAT."
So I write back, saying "Could you make an exception for me, cause I'm immuno-compromised and confined to a bubble and the BSAT is the only test that is completely sterilized."
So she goes: "OK, we'll look into it. But for this year, we can't accept the BSAT."
Right away I'm back at her with: "So does that mean there's a chance you'll accept it next year? Cause I REALLY want to go to Hamilton and I'd be OK waiting a year to do it."
So then she emails me like: "Wait a minute. If you're in a bubble, how do you propose to attend Hamilton? We don't offer correspondence degrees, you know."
So I'm like: "That's the next thing I want to talk to you about..."
So she goes: "OK, I'm going to sign off now. We'd love to hear from you when you grow up and become a serious person."
How cool is that?? I'd say the Hamilton Admissions dept got totally owned!!!
