<p>I have already written an essay about the time I watched The Social Network and how I completely misinterpreted the events in the film. Would this be an appropriate answer to the second option? (“Tell us about a time you had all of the facts but missed the meaning.”)</p>
<p>Sure that applies to the prompt, but what does the essay say about you? Or why you’d be a good fit for BC? Cause after all, that’s the underlying purpose of the supplement.</p>
<p>I really had problems with that prompt. Why on earth would anyone want to highlight missing the meaning of something unless the end of the story was greater insight. I would go with a different prompt that allowed me to demonstrate my fit with BC. I agree with SamShan3.</p>
<p>The Social Network had a meaning? It was a Hollywood script about a business start-up. Do you really think a Hollywood script writer’s pov is even close to reality? :D</p>
<p>^The facts, in this case, was the story. I made sure to point out that I knew that is probably wasn’t the true story, but nevertheless the movie had spectacularly deep literary themes that initially went right over my head.</p>
<p>Imo, the point of the question isn’t just to tell about an experience in which you originally missed the meaning, but how the discovery awakened some realization, you now have a more inquiring mind, more carefully look for significance behind a list of facts… or something relevant to college. How you conclude matters. So just run your essay through that filter. Good luck.</p>

<p>Are you sure? Perhaps you didn’t miss anything because there was “no there, there.” </p>
<p>Regardless of my snarkiness about Hollywood, lookingforward is spot-on. How did this movie “awaken you” and make you the person who will bring that newer perspective to college.</p>
