So I'm building a website
It' a LOCI more or less, somewhat more in depth but only a couple of paragraphs in total.
It's only for Gtown because that's where I want to go and I have a sliver of integrity.
3.1, 172, I have some softs: Gtown is a longshot for me.
I'm not exactly Mark Zuckerberg when it comes to coding but I've managed to piece together a pretty respectable website. I'm keeping it short and sweet. I just can't decide whether or not I really want to send it to the admissions office.
I'm not really interested having my admittedly slim chance of admission go down in a flaming ball of glory but I'm also reluctant to go quietly into the night...err...U of Iowa.
I'd like some feedback on this idea.

Re: So I'm building a website
Fuck that. Send them the website and be different.
The most successful people take risks that are perceived as great but in reality aren't so. I believe this is one of those situations. It is your dream school, you are admittedly a long shot, and the fact you can distinguish yourself from the other applicants can go a long way.
Best of luck.

Re: So I'm building a website
i actually agree with this. you really think they're on the verge of admitting a 172/3.1, and an unusual LOCI changes their minds? come on. you're probably not getting in anyway, so why not try something crazy?FeelTheHeat wrote:Fuck that. Send them the website and be different.

Argument assumes that a solid LOCI in lieu of this website would likewise defer to a seemingly predetermined admissions result.FeelTheHeat wrote:If he's not getting in, he's not getting in.

"If he's not getting in, he's not getting in" --> then what's the point of all this? And what if this website were the reason he/she didn't get in? durrrrrr

Tagging so I have something to entertain me tomorrow morning in Con Law.
I think I like the idea, if it is done tastefully and carefully.

I'm addressing it on the presumption that he is a long-shot to get in; it seems that he shouldn't be too far removed from doing so, but if he is, and its his dream school, I think he's gotta do something to set himself apart.
And yes, "if he's not getting in, he's not getting in" is a redundant and stupid statement. Hence my 3.0.

Re: So I'm building a website
In case there is any confusion, I don't think he is a long-shot either. But I am not familiar with GULC's admission's tendencies, and went on the OPs word that he doesn't think he stands a good chance.
