My Pitch?  Now look here, dear reader. I'll make this perfectly clear to you. I`m not going plead to some sort of committee or try to justify myself to you. I think the very idea that a Mythos scholar has to explain in what way he will enhance the academic life at Miskatonic is dreadfully rude!  The answer should be obvious, that as many truly interested students as possible will contribute to a vital and efficient virtual

Awards: Special File in CIA Vaults, Langley, VA; North Carolina’s Howling of Demons Governor School (for the study of those ancient arts forgotten by man.)  Sarnath Scholarship.  Internship in Civil Service under King Ubu in France.

Interests: Medieval Torture; Punk Rock; Archaeological Excavation of Ancient, Half-forgotten Cities

Career:  I expect to see the return of Loraktreb-Or to this blighted Earth, to usher in the new Dark Age.  Miskatonic’s resources and faculty offers opportunities to study things that Ivy League colleges such as Brown and Yale fail to offer.  In addition, the lack of any moral compunctions amongst the student body and faculty offer me chances to restart the same studies
that got me arrested in three states. that shall be damned for all time. As an artist and actor, I am fascinated by the profane religious rituals of the elder races that were reference but never explored by Antonin Artaud in his final, unpublished essay, “The Drama of Abdul Al-hazelred.”  I hope that
Miskatonic U. alumni can give me the connections I need to ensure my goals of worldwide doom and...  For a successful career in the blasphemous entertainment industry.

My background in North Carolina gives me the connections to study the backwoods degeneracy of Appalachia, who are prone to be possessed by strange light based alien beings. In
addition, my unique heritage of Godhood and middle class suburban upbringing would bring some much needed diversity to the Miskatonic campus. As my recommendations from Agatha Harkness, my High School director Steve U. Pickman (Miskatonic ‘78) and Dr. Victor Von Doom attest, I am capable of commitment and devotion, some said obsession, but I shall prove them wrong in my work. Finally, in group projects, I may be a hard and exacting taskmaster, but all of those classmates who survived my hunts of that most dangerous quarry of all, man, always thanked me.

I am a very Individualistic individual, I will add to your artificial campus by being there.  Also I can give you insites into Lovecraft and links to other writers.

In all honesty, I have no distinctive qualities other than my writing which, at its best, has still never won any awards.  I do, however, have a great deal of commitment to the types of studies for which Miskatonic has earned its reputation.  Through my hard work, insight, and creativity, I believe that I can contribute to this university.

I am an accomplished western martial artist and fear nothing in my research.  I intend to delve as deeply into the mythos as possible, regardless of the consequences.

Publications:  The Vine Newsletter, My own booklet of poetry titled, "Poetry by Casey". Also, helping out with a newsletter for CUUPS church group.

Essay:   I am interested in attending Miskatonic University and pursuing a degree in English Lit and Mythology. I believe a degree in both of those fields will further my goals and desires of a career in Editoral Writing.
      I think I would be a great asset to the University and both parties would benefit from this union.  I am a quick learner and I love to learn and would enjoy both career wise and mentally taking courses in English Lit and Mythology. 

Through my occult training I'll be able to understand ancient works and translate intentional errors in them.  I also have numerous contacts from whom I can gain info from.  If I don't  know I can find out.

I am widely read in many different forms and cultures' literature. I have worked on a volunteer basis in literary criticism for a local writers' groups and when I do not have university research to do, I like to undertake my own research into literature which is of interest to me.  My approach has been occasionally called unorthodox and a little obscure, but never so much so to not be understood.

Note: simply put.... you need me.  Without me this puppy of an organization will get nowhere fast.  With me you'll get there much slower.  So why not let me in so we can discuss the scientific implications of the Necronomicon and breaking the light barrier.

Accomplishments?  Let’s see.  I want to make the world largest liver-shaped jello mould, lime jello, of course.  I’d like to own the company that makes little things at the end of shoelaces, but mostly I’d like to just dance, dance, dance.  I hope our interests are similiar, because, man, my dog is getting pissed.

Appearing as a kind, loving guy; talekeeper for Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, and Warren Ellis, secret societies make me smile, own a phaser and go boldly sometimes.  I'd love to be one of those guys that go on scientific missions to nightmare countries and keep the log, while the rest of the team vanishes... To later discover my fellow
professors had been eaten or mutated, and face them with a six-bullet revolver, a flashlight, and a soft jogging.   Mythology and formal Archaeology seem to be the logical choice.  Right after placing my shaking fingers on the mud-carven covers of "The Book of
Toth," it was taken from me by cone-like guys. I neeeeed to open it. Please. Let me in,  I will share my private collection of sinister monoliths. Promise. Just let me read your copy.

I want to study here so I can have access to the ancient and forbidden texts you keep in your extensive library.  With this information I will try ot solve at least one of the great mysteries of our past and maybe our future.

My hunger for the unknown has kept me going this far. With or without you I will continue on my quest. Something inside me is driving me to find these answers. 100% is what I would give if I the chance.

I will strive to make this the best college experience possible

I'm a seeker, a soul whose interest in the unknown outweighs any other field of
Science. I always seek new knowledge, in the Arcane Arts, and other Magickal Subjects. An acceptance in this academy will help me learn more in the fields of the
arcane and help me dismiss all stereotyped beliefs in this very elusive art. I've read books with these topics but my spirit yearns for more...   I'm from the Philippines and as you know it is a deep Catholic country with
deep mystical roots.In this country mysticism and paranormal sciences are dismissed as "demonic" and therefore banned from Universities and other academic institution. If there is an authority in these studies that would shed light into this mentality, it would benefit the whole practicing population of this country. There are many Practitioners of
the Craft in this country. I even co-founded an online group which plans on uniting all the practitioners. There are a very few individuals who are interested in this studies, a very few people who really spend time to dig deeper into these mysteries. In our
country availability of these materials (books, old grimoires, etc.) are rarely found plus the financial factor of the people here (especially family from the provinces) it is very difficult to do researches and studies on these matters. I'm a researcher by heart and I could do research on certain topics with dedicatin, depending on the available
materials. I hope the selection commitee will choose me as one of their students. Thank
you.

Academic achievements: Graduated highschool with honors. Graduated Defense Language Institute, Monterey, California with honors in Persian/Farsi language study program.

Several years ago, I met someone who remains a dear friend to me. His religious practices dealt with many of the teachings and rituals described in the various translations of the Necronomicon.  He taught me many things, and my interest in all things dealing with Necromancy and Alchemy
became nearly insatiable. We have unfortunately had to part ways, and so he was never able to finish his mentoring of me. I have since purchased many books relating to the Mythos surrounding the Necronomicon and the varied writings of H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, and other authors of their genre. Throughout all of these books, the Miskatonic University is mentioned in almost every tale. To be quite honest, I was not sure if this University was real, or part of a sort of fiction. I was very much delighted to discover that it really does exist! I am hoping to learn more about the Necronomicon and the other mythology surrounding it, as well as dabble a bit in
alchemy. I would love to obtain a degree in these studies, and perhaps move on further towards a Master's or Doctorate as well. It's not everyday you discover something that ignites a passion for learning such as I have discovered through my as yet rudimentary research on these subjects.  I am very much eager to learn as much as I can. There are few people that I know if whom I can discuss these matters with, simply due to their personal beliefs. I would love to contribute to the studies, as well as meet other people and share a part of myself with them that I often find difficult to relate to others. I believe that I can bring my own ideas to the academics at Miskatonic University, as well as absorb the ideas and veiwpoints of professor and fellow student alike. ...

If I finally tell the voices' story, maybe they'll shut up, or at least start keeping reasonable hours.

What qualities do you have that will enhance campus and academic life at Miskatonic?   Well, you could obviously use a proofreader...

Essay: Well, I think that the gods are old therefore by digging up old things one gets closer to the gods. 
I have always felt a force that eminates from somewhere that I can't quite place, but have felt the shadow of pass over me like some nebulous wraith of a ghostly phantom.  A specternal nagging of infinitudes awaiting to only be awoken by a touch if only I knew where to touch...  Only in the solacing roar of a good 4x4's engine could I know why the caged bird sings...  My quest to sate this insatiable thirst for knowing and thus ending this ungodly torment so ironicly in the quest of gods....  By digging up old things one gets closer to the gods. 

I was born under a cursed blood-red blue-moon with Scorpio ascending, and am now forced to assume the shape of a large paisley-covered sofa under bizarre situations, and I can REALLY break the ice at parties!!

Well, frankly, wouldn't it look nice to have a world-famous manuscript translator come back one day to teach at his Alma Mater.

From my youth I have read of the acheivements of Graduates of Miskatonic U and have wanted to be part of their traditions and techniques.  The music of Prof. Zann and the painting of Prof. Pickman have also led me to Miskatonic U.  I have been familiar with the reputation of Miskatonic U for 30 some years and can offer insight and knowledge in my field to the students and faculty of Miskatonic U.

Well, I can be hard working when I want to, and from what I’ve seen of this college I definitely would want to.  I don’t have a lot of money, so this is a good opportunity for a free education.  ... Well, I don’t have much to say, I filled this out before, and wasn’t happy with it.  I sounded too fake and not really myself, I decided I could do a little better, so I figured I might as well try it again since I didn’t get any response the first time.  I hope perhaps, that this time you will consider  me a little harder.

Essay: I wish to expand my knowledge in the domains of archaeology and Arabic. I wish to understand the social development and the religious beliefs of ancient civilisations and to get a hands on experience with the orginal
language these texts were written in. 

Note: I work with computers and I know HTML among other programming languages. I also have an interest in music, and I’m a part of a band “guitar/bass player”. 

I would like very much to learn the tones and music that would call forth Great Cthulthu. 

I’m a cranky old broad that might be able to put the brakes on some of the foolishness of some of the younger set, having had a few dances with Azathoth and his band myself!

I don’t do drugs.  I’m a much better student now than I was in High School. My GPA should be going up this quarter, I am doing much better now than in my first quarter.

I bring the awful truth. I have a drive to be the  best that can not be matched. I also bring a physical presence to everything  I do. I can be extremely competitive. I will only bring the best. 

If I am not accepted, I will summon Azathoth.

Interested in pursuing research in the above subjects...  Experience, intelligence, and charm

I am a liberal arts student who not only has a wide range of interests, but I also practice and actively seek for ways to get involved in all of these interests.  Double majoring in biology and mathematics in college forced me to take an extremely wide range of courses that had become the sources of my inspirations to help bettering our society and the world by providing and seeking for solutions, understanding.  Not only  that I’m a student and a child, but I’m also a leader and collaborator for the world.  My being a part of Miskatonic University, you will have in your possession an apprentice with a lofty mind, energy, and actions that are whole-heartedly geared toward the betterment of our human society.  I will show the people in our organization and world the kind of education that Miskatonic University can provide. 

I'm a generalist, so I get along with almost everyone.  I’m a natural studier, and have always excelled in academics, but I’m also a Writer and Artist, and have talent and expertise in Theatre and other performing arts as well.  I’m gregarious and a good listener-- which means I’m welcome in just about any company.

Maybe the Arkham University is interested in improving relationships with Europe by granting a scholarship to a German student.

Miskatonic University is clearly the premier institution for the study of Arcane and Occult subjects. My own interest in Early Modern Witch Cults and Popular literature would seem to be a perfect match for each other, destined to benefit not only myself, but the University as well.  While attending the august Miskatonic campus is not an option for me financially, obviously, the online campus is the next best thing.

Why?  I can provide transcriptions of a large number of Witchcraft Pamphlets published in England and Scotland between 1562 and 1688, for one thing.  Secondly, I am a good reviewer of fictional works, both in print and on film. Thirdly, I am presently working on an English ‘Translation’ of Comte d’Erlette’s “Cultes des Goules.” which I believe is the first time that particular tome has been translated into English.  Hmmm.... that, and I’m basically just a pretty good guy with a real love of weird Fiction in general, and Lovecraft in particular.

Why not? Civility deems that it would be prudent to consider it...
