<p>I'm applying to Deis ED so some of this is irrelevant...and I posted my stats at the Deis board...but hey, why not introduce this to a new audience? If I don't get into BRU early decision (which I dread), I'm going to apply to University of Rochester, Boston University, Smith College, Oberlin, but otherwise I'm unsure, because the schools I'm interested in are, well, on the same level of Deis for admissions (Wesleyan, and someone mentioned Swarthmore, looked interesting) </p>

<p>I should mention that my essay is fairly risky in it's approach; I answer my own prompt "what are your goals for 15 years from now?" and I write it in narrative prose, concluding in my presonal creative writing voice..."spontaneous prose" if you know Jack Kerouac. The premise is entirely madeup but it's SUCH a bleedin' accurate depiction of my aspirations, my thinking, and my interests. and that i'm a kook. i need a college that'll like that. </p>
<p>I want to study English Literature and Creative Writing.</p>
