Why do you want to attend College XYZ?

Dear College XYZ,

Actually, I don’t want to attend your college.

In fact, I hate your school. The only reason I decided to apply and BS this essay is because 1) my mum/dad/counselor made me, 2) you sent me a fee waiver, 3) you gave me a scholarship before I even applied, and 4) I needed a safety school, and I know I’ll get in because I’m a minority.

The students aren’t interesting, the classes are boring, the campus is ugly, and I would probably go crazy if I were trapped there for the next four years of my life. The only positve aspects of your school are that you have a zamboni, I heard the professors are hot, and I’ll learn to interact with stupid people. Then again, I could just party for the next four years….

If I ever decide to suffer through the pain and torture of going to a school as bad as yours, it will be only so that I can transfer to a college I actually like the following year. : )

By the way, your food tastes like cardboard left out in the rain, taken in, mushed together by bare feet, sprinkled with salt and sugar, and then molded into cake form–that’s disgusting, by the way.

Also, you smell like goat poo. Nothing you can do about it.

So, in conclusion, I really don’t want to attend College XYZ, and I would be insulted if you considered me a perfect fit.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mailin Li

P.S. This essay is a generic one I’ve rewritten multiple times for multiple colleges, and all I did to change it was copy/paste your name in the introduction.
