<p>I still like all my essays for the RD round. I actually reread them for the first time recently since last minute edits in late December, and I'm still quite satisfied. I think they've very "me" whatever that means exactly. I still don't like my short answer for Stanford EA about an interesting intellectual idea/experience all that much, but clearly it didn't hurt.</p>
<p>i thought all of my essays were pretty lame.. i don't do well with the whole word limit thing. i like my verbosity.</p>
<p>well i spent the same time on short essays as on the long one or may be even less...so my common app essay contains more or less 25 grammatical errors and visibly incoherent.. :)</p>
<p>No joking... i wished i had only got my grades to blame for everything....but now i feel less pain for them....</p>
<p>do they like essays about weird pics/things? my essay was pretty weird :D</p>
<p>lol how weird is "pretty weird" ?</p>
<p>mine was of me dressed up with a purple and gold face, standing with a group of friends before a volleyball game. i wrote about my social life.</p>
<p>mine's about a toilet. </p>
<p>and yes, its about as profound as it sounds</p>
<p>a toilet... how exciting</p>
<p>i wrote mine the night i got deferred early from harvard ( now waitlisted) ... and i spent like 30 minutes on them... im definately not looking forward to my razor thin envelope =/</p>
<p>me too. I dont want that thin envelope either but I'm probaby going to get it</p>
<p>aww semp, we're all thinking the same thing.. but who knows? we just might get lucky :) haha, wishful thinking on my part.. what's that people say.. hope for the best, expect the worst? highly applicable here, i think..</p>
<p>yeah..... also my school has been blacklisted by stanford cause someone got in ea and turned them down for rd princeton</p>
<p>wow totally opposite for my school</p>
<p>princeton hates our school after a tussle w/ a counselor over admissions.</p>
<p>they did admit hispanics last year though -_-. and this year they admitted an alum's son. maybe the feud died off? i know it wouldn't help me :'(</p>
<p>well it might help ... I like the :'(
:D :D</p>
<p>hopefully my essay about locking my grandma gets me in... cuz then i'll lock her out more often</p>
<p>"locking my grandma "</p>
<p>ummm... thats a bit disturbing to say the least</p>
<p>naww.. its funny..
i told my roommate that if he found himself locked out his dorm, it was me who did it cuz i'm a little kid.</p>
