Britney Spears in an application...good or bad?

Applying to College
1

<p>Okay, so I am debating whether or not to mention Britney in one of my Yale short takes. The question asks how I would spend a free weekend, and I said I would make a fool of myself by singing and dancing to Britney Spears with my friends. My question to YOU is if that is appropriate per se for a Yale application. I don't feel like it's bad...it's just not intellectual. Everything else in my application is super serious, so I thought that this would balance it out. I would consider myself out there so I want to convey that, even if it's just in this one question. What do you think?</p>

<p>Thank you so much to whoever answers!</p>

<p>P.S. I actually do listen to Britney...I'm not trying to sound pseudo-quirky.</p>

<p>There isn’t anyway anyone else can answer that for you, it is silly of you to even ask. It’s your free time you are talking about. Go with your instincts.</p>

<p>You are so right…thank you, kind sir/madame!</p>

<p>If you think you can make it funny, or really infuse your personality into it by talking about Brit, do it. But it’s definitely a risk and can go either way.</p>
