<p>I am currently working on the personal statement for my Brown application, but it is really broad, and I have a question. The prompt is </p>
<p>In reading your application, we want to get to know you as well as we can. We ask that you use this opportunity to tell us something more about yourself that would help us toward a sense of who you are, how you think, and what issues and ideas interest you most.
(Your statement should not exceed 500 words)</p>
<p>So what are the limitations to this prompt? Could I write from a perspective other than my own and use that to speak aobut myself, or could I do something like write about myself 10 years from now? Or is the statement just limited to me, here and now? Thank you.</p>
<p>Also, does Brown accept paper SAT reports? or do they prefer electronic or some other from?</p>
<p>for your question about the essay, i think Brown is looking for a variety of expressions, so i guess it's ok to write in a third person's view. My essay vaguely answers the "questions" given (i think they're more of suggestions than questions) and i think it's fine.
Are you sending the personal essays online?</p>
<p>Yes, I am submitting them online.</p>
<p>i wrote abt my affinity to chess and what i have learnt from the game....how will that do</p>
<p>college applicants of the world should unite! no one should apply to college until all universities accept the common application! that way, we would all have way less stress and work to do. k, time for me to bang out some stanford essays...</p>
<p>Yeah, but even if everyone did use the common app, they would have nasty supplements so it wouldn't be any easier.</p>
<p>Btw, I just treated Brown's essay like the open-ended common app essay.</p>
