So you want to go to Graduate School: Part 3
October 5th, 2005
Admissions
It can sure be tough; your application is rigorously reviewed by a committee of professors to judge whether you’re “tough enuff” or “the weakest link, goodbye.” My suggestion? Cheat the system!
Here’s an example:

Make them think you’re an socially disadvantaged girl! Your chances of admission have just increased by about 40%. While schools don’t really institute quotas, they follow affirmative action policies that give bonus points to non-white males. While I’m not saying thats a bad thing, it can improve your chances if you pretend to be one. Just make sure you have your wig and high heels ready when you go for a site visit.
Cheers.
