I can think of several nude body shots that I would most definitely NOT want to see if I was an AdCom.

If I were an AdCom, and I reviewed an app in which an applicant purposely sent a nude photo to prove their desire to attend, I'd totally admit them... and then include the photo in the next school-wide newsletter.

So I got on to check the forums and saw all the activity on the UW forum and I got excited that maybe there was a huge wave of status updates...only to discover that the conversation had taken a slightly different turn.
Although, it is good to see a more light-hearted mood as opposed to our usual nihilistic outlook.
I also agree -- this forum is by far the most interesting one I am involved in. I hope we all get a little UW love soon!

On-topic school threads =/= the Lounge. As a current applicant, I need both in my life!

It is my favorite game, but I cannot play with people who utilize the Offiical Scrabble Dictionary. That book is pure crap. I play using good old Webster.

If anyone plays Words with Friends, PM me your username. I'm an awful player, so you can take solace in kicking my butt.

Yeah, for losers that can't find real words to use!
I just don't like how the dictionary is so arbitrary... some foreign words are allowed, but not all. Some abbreviations are used, not all. No rhyme or reason to why they choose what they choose.

Thanks for the update. So I guess I should expect to see it tomorrow or Friday. Good luck, everyone. I really hope we all hear good news.
