Dive Brief:

• A listserv for college admissions counselors recently took up the thread "the greatest line I never said."
• To wit: "The line that always goes through my head is, 'Well, the world needs ditch-diggers, too.'"
• The comments were published anonymously, for obvious reasons when you consider lines like this: "If you can’t spell the name of [a] college correctly, you probably shouldn’t apply there."

Dive Insight:

Want some balance to lines like the above? The comments after the roundup on the Washington Post site largely take the counselors to task.
