<p>I'll PM you guys after you guys take a stab at this :)</p>

<p>All my essays for Duke, DMouth, Cornell, and Brown that asked "Why do you want to come here" were the exact same ones except the names were replaced. DO NOT DO THIS ON YOUR OWN APPS! I was extremely lazy. ALthough I did this, the essay itself was REALLY good, so a Princeton Alum told me. I would rate it 8-9</p>

<p>Stanford essays on the other hand are 10. I applied early and took MONTHS to write it. Harvard, Princeton, and Upenn essays were also pretty good 9ish</p>

<p>@qtip: how the heck do you know I'm Korean? Wait, it must be those SAT IIs... haha</p>

<p>Oh, and if you want to see some of my essays, I'd be glad to PM them to you guys :)</p>

-County of Los Angeles Volunteer of the Year Award (11)</p>

<p>I did this to some Korean dude from here Dallas over here in this forum...
he got a Texan of the year award9yeah...(I bet hes from California with that award)...and his screen name was his name...and his last name was Korean...
so I inferred he was Korean through he last name, and also inferred he was from DFW cause most Korean in Texas are from here.</p>
