Someone at Stanford seems to have gotten their hands on the real USC application (the one that all us admitted students were sworn to secrecy about) and published it in their school newspaper. It deeply hurts me to post this because I've spent the past few years pretending my 50-million dollar inheritance had nothing to do with my college acceptance, but now that the truth is out I'd rather you hear it from me first.
Now don't think that I wasn't extremely offended by this application when I first saw it-- I was. It clearly discriminates against East Coast applicants by providing space for a Palm Springs address but not a Hamptons one. While I did grudgingly end up filling out this racist application, I did attach a statement where I explained that my family's five vacation McMansions in Easthampton should more than make up for not having a crappy desert villa in bumblefuck Palm Springs.

This blog is too good to not have advertising and its own domain page.
