Franklin and Marshall’s essay question is “who would you be for a day and why?” any thoughts/ideas on how to reply?
Who would you like to be for a day? Why?
What kind of help can anyone here possibly give you with this kind of question? All you need to do is answer the question.
I think it would be funny if you were Trump for a day, and you would go around doing controversial things and every so often tweeting out some sudden thought, that the whole world reacts to. (Like, New restaurant…SOMEONE BURNED MY TOAST. No competence in the breakfast staff!!! FAKE EGGS! May have to hire Russian chef…)
Of course, it would also be very risky, so I don’t advise you to do it. But I amused myself thinking how fun it might be.
I think the idea is for YOU to consider the question and give an answer that will tell admissions officers something about YOU. IMO this is not a question you should get an answer to on a forum such as this where people don’t know you at all.
Think about people you know, people you admire, perhaps even historical figures. Find a story that can talk to your personality, interests etc.
Other thread in August by this poster is clearly written from a parent perspective.
@fuzzybanana since you seem to be the parent…I would suggest you let your college bound student answer this question…and quickly because the Franklin and Marshall deadline for applications is January 15.
