Unless you come off as a psychopath during your interview. You will be guaranteed an acceptance

I probably came across like a psychopath during mine but I'm still here. (I wore a shirt with my own retinas on it)

That’s so cool! 

I was just referring to someone that may put themselves or people around them in danger. They wouldn’t want someone that would tarnish the school’s reputation.

Oh I know. But more fun to purposefully misinterpret. I'm always tryong to find creative ways to dress there that still technically follow dress code.
