Ding with Columbia.

-----

DearestTuck,

Once again, it's that time of the year. When I've clicked that little Submit Application button.

I've already had my heart broken by Columbia and I'm counting on you to show me some love. When I applied last year, you told me that due to the extremely competitive pool, I was not able to be selected. I understand that applications were up 40%. You told me to apply again, you hinted that there could be something special between the both of us.

Your stats say that you favor reapplicants. Your ad coms say that applicants are the bomb. I'm a reapplicant, so give me some love. I've improved my GKMAT, taken on extra curricular activities, got promoted at work, done everything except get down on my knees. But I'll do that for you Tuck, because in my heart, you're number 1.

Truth be told, I had a thought time wondering whether I would really accept Columbia's ED if you gave me some love. But that's no longer a worry, Columbia hass dumped me by the roadside like last year's out of season shoes. So, go ahead, give me that interview invite and that special shiny admit. You know I'm good for it.

I'll give back to the school, I'll be a team player, I'll promote the Tuck name where I go. When I make MD after graduating, I'll give blind job interviews to all Tuck graduates. When I make CEO of a Fortunate 500 company, I'll talk about how you enabled me to achieve greatness and that there is no better school than Tuck. Harvard, Stanford, and the rest have nothing on you.

So Tuck, give me some love.


Love,

Wannabe
