Game of Thrones Applies to College

Mar 26
Jumbo Talk

The new season of Game of Thrones begins on March 31.

Tufts releases its RD application decisions between March 28 and April 1.

Coincidence?  I think not.

 

To celebrate (or perhaps mourn) application decisions and the return to air of Westeros's favorite television series, I present to you the College Admissions Process, Through Game of Throne GIFs.  Greyjoy.  Enjoy.

 

Robb Stark has no idea what he's doing.

Ygritte: "My body is ready."

Step 4: Wait for your decisions.  Then wait.  Continue waiting.

Khal Drogo: Khal Me Maybe

Step 5: Wait some more.  Maybe call the admissions office just to make sure they got your application.  Or set up a blog, in the meantime.  Whatever you do, don't moan about how much we make you wait.

Did you pay the iron price for that?

Step 7: Check out the tuition bill.

Step 8: Get to college, realize exactly how much those AP classes "prepared you for college."
