3.03 - Application Anxiety

[TheHumanCoffeePot]

Summary: When the Harvard application arrives, Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Lorelai (Lauren Graham) arrange a dinner at an alumnus' house to get advice. Meanwhile, Lane (Keiko Agena) falls for a boy who answers her ad for rock band members and Taylor (Michael Winters) convinces Luke (Scott Patterson) to open an old-fashioned soda fountain next to the diner.

I liked that Springsteen guy. He was cool. And the 'rebel' daughter was cool too. And the two siblings in University seemed nice as well, if a bit overly cheerful

And at the end it's our introduction to the beautiful and cute Dave Rygalski. And right away Lane says "I love you"... "I mean I love what you do" (or something to that effect). Cute.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA i thought this was a hilarious episode!!!!!!!!! Especially when Lorelai and Rory were talking and laughing about how the harvard graduates kids were really "touchy- feely" And the part when the springsteen man said-   "you two gonna fight over the breast, as you always do?" I couldn't stop laughing! HAHA good episode!!

                           FOREVER IN LOVE WITH MILO!

I loved the part in this episode when Darron's wife said the sister//brother were gonna have to fight over the breast. Lorelai && Rory both just kinda looked at each other.

I also found it really funny when Lorelai had to talk to Darron and pretend to be Rory and used that really funny voice. ((Trixie McBimbo && her mom Bambie McBimbo ))

I thought it was so great at the end when Darron called and left the message saying how Rory was as good as in to Harvard. That was really nice. Then..both Rory//Lorelai changed their plans for the day so that they could hang out with each other

I love this episode with lorelai imitating rory's voice on the phone. I love how after the two kids come in after tennis and then leave lorelai and rory go:

LORELAI: Ew!

RORY: What?

LORELAI: Did they just leave to take a shower together?

RORY: Oh, gross!

LORELAI: What? They bounced in together, they bounced out together.

RORY: New topic.

LORELAI: Can’t take gritty reality?

RORY: Or slanderous postulating.

This episode was a little weird with the whole Harvard family thing. I didnt really think it was funny just weird. But one thing I do love about this episode is that we get to meet Dave. I love how Lane falls in love with him the first time they meet!! Soooo sweet!! 

[Gilmore-Fan-13]

The town meeting is funny in this episode.

[Stars-n-Moons]

This was sooo funny.  However, we didn't see Mr. Springsteen really answer any of Rory's questions or give her any advice on Harvard or college in general, however his kids were hilarious.  The dinner games were a little funny too.

[Imy]

the lunch with the springsteen guy was hilarious!
i think lane is so cool and dave rocks!

[StarsHollowFan]

The kids were pretty funny, I got a strange vibe from them even before Lorelai noticed. I love how this show can take a topic such as incest and make it considerably more funny then it has any right to be.

Man Paris is a bitch. I don't know how she thinks she can get anywhere with an attitude like that. In this day and age you need to be likeable to get places, not smart.

The kids were hilarious.  I was cracking up when they came in.  Their dinner activities were funny too.

The town meeting with Luke and the ice cream shop, that whole thing, was great.

I saw this episode today.  I liked when Lane took off her shirt to reveal the "God" shirt she had on underneath. "Rock band?" Lane replied, "No, my life."  The Harvard girl in the bunny suit who told Rory she'd get into Harvard because she had "that straight and shiny Harvard hair" was pretty cool too.

[Loki]

And by the way, I love Paris. She's what Rory would be without Lorelei as a mom.  I love Emily too.  She's unable to express her "inner Lorelei" but it's there and it's dying to express itself....

[Gross123987]

It is close between this one, Rory's Graduation and "The Big One", but I still think this is my favorite episode from Season 3.    First, I love when Rory chickens out and Lorelai pretends to be her by putting on that flinty, high voice.    Plus when Lorelai was messing around when filling out the Application is great.    "Oh my God, what you were doing when the application arrives is worth 50%".   
"Mother, breathtaking, Father, Ostrasized!"     And the whole Droopy Drawers cracks me up every time!!

I like when Rory and Lorelai are freaking out about getting in.  "We all give the same run of the mill perfunctory answers!"

Then the family stuff with the Springsteens is great.   There are so many great things about this episode, definitely top 3 of all GG episodes!!
