um..you did say Harvard…?

And now, just when you thought life couldn’t get any better (yea right), here come news flash we’re all waiting for,

Imperfect Students Wanted
Word on the street is that it’s OK to stop pretending like you’re perfect. According to Jess Lord, dean of admission and financial aid at Haverford College (no not Harvard, and sadly nor McGill), “everybody’s imperfect. Since that’s true for all (students), those that portray that aspect of themselves are that much more authentic.”As colleges continue to search for unique applicants with distinguishing characteristics, some counselors say that coming across as “too perfect” only makes you sound robotic and insincere. Steven Roy Goodman, an independent college counselor, even goes as far as telling his students to make a deliberate mistake in their applications. “Sometimes it’s a typo,” he says. “It’s pretty easy to fall into that trap of trying to do everything perfectly and there’s no spark left.”

uhmm… rrrrright. why don’t you all try it and let me know how it turns out ;~)
