Applications are for BS!

What my application says about the Whitfield House lab class:

"As the most experienced member of our group, I took on a leadership role, devising the research design, delegating tasks, and editing the final project’s sections together. In synthesizing previous seasons’ work into a coherent picture of long-term activity, we gained a more comprehensive and unified understanding of the site as a whole. We also learned that through efficient teamwork, even a daunting task could become feasible. I now feel comfortable planning and carrying out group research projects as a leader among my peers."

What it really means:

"As the only person in my group who knew anything, I told everyone what to do, yet still ended up doing most of the work myself. Despite trudging through five years of material, we really didn't come up with any substantial conclusions because the assignment was stupid. We also learned that the most effective way to complete a team project is to have the best student do everything. I now feel comfortable planning and carrying out group research projects without my peers. I also learned a valuable and expensive lesson about loaning out library books."
