<p>Preferably Stanford students but if you are a 2014er, no problem, I ll evaluate you on a case by case basis (sorry, some of them just dont reply back after I pm them)</p>

<p>PS: This prompt is just so fun! I wonder how do they even "grade" students based on this..</p>
<p>im a 2014er, just so u know. but ill read it if u want.
also question. im toeing the line between formal and informal, and what do u guys think of using stuff like “wanna” and all caps? i know some officers dont like that but it IS supposed to be a letter to someone of your age. Opinion?</p>
<p>the roommate prompt can be written in whatever style you prefer. But there is a huge difference between your content being ‘casual’ and your language being ‘casual’. </p>
<p>Its risky to have lingo like “wunna” or “btw” in your prompt coz it does not really reflect well on the person who wrote it, atleast for me. It one thing writing informal stuff in your prompt, but it something totally different taking the prompt as a joke and writing in way that you would do on MSN.</p>
<p>My advice: Just be yourself in your content, but keep your language clean</p>
<p>zqr0709, a few years ago I think they did ask for a letter to your roommate, but I think the prompt now asks you to tell the admissions committee what you would like a roommate to know. Read it again just to make sure.</p>
