Awesome Admissions Lists: If Your Degree Was an Olympic Sport, What Would it Be?
This series looks at the world of admissions consulting through everybody's favorite lens – the list!
1. Men's Bobsled
A bunch of sweaty guys crammed way too close together, trying to move ahead as fast as possible without actually doing that much work.
Degree Awarded = MBA (Masters in Business Administration)
2. Ice Dance
A coterie of graceful, touchy feely people judged on seemingly arbitrary criteria, while simultaneously feeling ever so slightly inferior to their more famous sister discipline.
Degree Awarded = MSW (Masters in Social Work)
3. Curling
A stilted, deliberately confusing pastime that was once cutting edge, but now is performed only by rich people in obscure places.
Degree Awarded = PHM (Masters of Philosophy)
4. Ice Hockey
A group of men or women banding together by country and attempting to outrank everybody else.
Degree Awarded = MPP or MPA (Masters in Public Administration or Policy)
5. Cross Country Skiing
An exhausting, seemingly endless, shockingly repetitive activity resulting in a skill that is impressive, but ultimately not that interesting and not worth that much money.
Degree Awarded = Ph.D (Doctor of Philosophy)
