The results:
1-10 points: This year, dress up as every college boy’s dream: a Playboy Bunny! It should be an easy enough outfit to throw together, seeing as you’ll be wearing essentially nothing. Yes, you might freeze your little bunny tail off, but at least you’ll look hot, right?
11-20 points: You’d better just say you’re dressing up as a “Harvard Student.” As a real Harvard student, you obviously don’t have time to bother putting together a costume. Just throw on a sweatshirt emblazoned with the H-bomb and make sure you carry a backpack wherever you go. Maybe you’ll even score some candy from the admiring tourists walking around the Yard.
21-30 points: Congratulations! You’ll be perfect as Miley Cyrus circa 2013 this year. Get an edgy haircut, buy bright lipstick, and wear tight crop tops or body suits. Better yet, just go out completely nude. Extra points if you manage to ride around on a wrecking ball the whole night.
31-40 points: Ah, the Sexy Doctor. Wearing this costume, you’ll be sure to get any Harvard student excited about their pre-med requirements. This is a pretty easy outfit to master—just make sure you've got a stethoscope and notepad. The unflattering white lab coat is optional.
