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!

DON'T LET THE HATERS GET TO YOU! "Elton John glasses and setting...convey a sense of entitlement"?! BS I say!! Such creativity and chutzpah deserves kudos, not castigation! U must have COURAGE to do this "gallows humor" vid! Tufts is a great place! Got my doctorate there; also "did time" at Harvard and my bachelor's is from Dartmouth, so I know whereof I speak.Where did you get the COOL glasses frames? My girlfriend wants some like yours. Please advise as to the details, if you would Thks.

Hey there! Thank you so much for your kind words--I agree that Tufts is a wonderful place to be =) For the glasses, I would love to give you the name of the shop, but unfortunately I bargained for them at a glasses mall in Beijing when I was there my senior year of high school, and have since lost the business card...however, I'm sure if you search online for some fake-bamboo circular frames, something is bound to pop up!

You deserved to be accepted to Harvard. Fitzsimmons might have been high on alcohol when he sent your rejection letter.
