Dear Harvard

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who supported me during the wait list process-I am truly touched by your thoughtful words and kindness. I was recently rejected from the Harvard wait list, and will be going to Tufts University in the fall.

Hey All! This is my plea to Harvard asking the Admissions Office to admit me from the wait list. Thank you all for watching, and for those who have gone through the stressful college process, I hope this provides comic relief!

Lyrics:
In veritas I must admit that Harvard's grand
Advancements every day let's give her a hand
We will laud the spirit and the school
That intimidates the average fool
Now Undergrad Admissions Office hear me out
I want an education to make me shout
World class professors and lecturers
Under whom I want to learn
Harvard you mean the world to me
Already a part of my family tree
Harvard I utter my primal scream
Except without the nudity
The musical for freshman calls me every night
I think of compositions to make sparks ignite
And while those accepted might have some skill
As Tom Lehrer says, I have the will
Harvard you mean the world to me
For your Russian bells I'd write atonally
Harvard I utter my primal scream
But not inside the libraries
H-A-R-V-A-R-D College, so scholarly
H-A-R-V-A-R-D be my universe...-ity
Harvard you mean the world to me
On John Harvard's statue I'd never pee
Harvard I utter my primal scream
Let me in to your community
Harvard please admit
Me!

[gobiballer]

so E heard back today and got rejected. how about you Grace?

[GraceOberhofer]

@gobiballer hey I just found out that I was rejected, too. I guess it wasn't meant to be for either of us. But I'm sure you have a great choice for next year!

[gobiballer]

@GraceOberhofer sorry to hear that and I hope you have the same! where are you headed?

[GraceOberhofer]

@gobiballer I am enrolled at Tufts University and am very excited about it! How about you?

[slvrixyz]

Hi Grace, I'm a fellow waitlistee. Did you hear from Harvard yet? Waitlist decisions are out; I got rejected on Tuesday :( . But I really hope you got in. I think you deserve Harvard! I didn't do anything half as cool as this to get into Harvard! :)

[GraceOberhofer]

@slvrixyz, thank you so much for your support and kindness! I am sorry to hear that you were not accepted, but I am sure that you have some other wonderful future plans, and I have a hunch you will be incredibly successful wherever you go. I have not heard anything from Harvard, so we will see what happens.

[DumbAndLethal]

@airgear87 I just have to say that that was an awesome comment.

[ThumbsUpBrah]

Keep making videos, found them hilarious. 

[jewliciousness]

Tufts gain is Harvard's loss. Good luck - we were rooting for you but we're certain you'll be great wherever you go.

[MsLolpink]

YOUR VOICE IS WOW!!!

[emeraldgreen03]

its kind of annoying, but you really have a lot of vocal ability

[polkadotandmoonbeam]

only a Jumbo would do this... looking forward to meeting you in the fall :).

[gunstreetgrrl29]

[partyguy420]

[airgear87]

Haha loser, you didn't get into Harvard, I got into Harvard, it was a piece of cake. Spent about 3 hours there before security told me to leave.

[The92828]

I went to Tufts (class of 2008). It's a damn good school.

[seegraham09]

Grace, I'm a Tufts student from Washington and i loved your video. I'm sorry you didn't get accepted to Harvard but trust me you are going to love Tufts. I'd be glad to answer any questions you might have

[gsim17]

You would have been laughed out of Harvard if they accepted you

[paddedpencil]

barf

[ComradeLeonTrotsky]

Harvard's "Grand" alright....

[jamesdakrn]

Such a tool lolllll

[qwertyasdfgh696]

So did she get in?

[barq0116blk]

@economienda I swear this is what I was thinking when I heard this...LOL. Grace you make me feel so unworthy...wow. You're so talented.

[rickyblount2007]

"On John Harvard's statue I'd never pee," probably bombed you and prevented admission. Otherwise, song is very flattering and appropriate.

[ImmortalChaos]

Sorry to hear about Harvard, I saw your video on MSN and you have a beautiful voice. Tufts is a great school, I'm going to start my MA in Drama History and Criticism in the fall. You should feel very proud of all that you have accomplished.
