<p>I plan to apply for transfer, in the winter, as an entering Sophomore. Over this summer, I will read a vast sum (roughly:80-100) of books with literary merit (i.e. The Scarlet Letter, March, etc.) . Will mentioning the number of books I read on my applications (Perhaps in a letter of rec by a prof or listing the books in supplementary section) be nuance? Or should I not include that - the universities will have no evidence..?</p>
<p>Don’t include that. That would just be silly.</p>
<p>why would they want to know what you have read? o.o</p>
<p>Marc - besides the point, but one of my friends showed a list of the books she had read in her nu interview, and apparently that made her freshman application. And for clarification, I am reading for my enjoyment. A lack of recognition does not thwart my actions. </p>
<p>Icedragon - UChicago has a supplement section specifically for your favorite books, movies, music, etc., but I am not applying there.</p>
<p>College bound students are expected to be literate, educated people. While not everyone reads for fun, its hardly worth mentioning. It comes off as lacking other activities; and if you have why list reading.</p>
<p>You mentioned an interview, but talking about books is different than saying I read books. As for your second claim of asking about favorites, that’s their way of finding out more about applicants,</p>
<p>If you want to, go ahead, it’s just silly.</p>
