<p>“whimsical”
I love the people who put down empyrean and ephemeral suchhhh pretty words.</p>
<p>^Thanks! 
I love your choice too. Whimsical/whimsy/whim…all those are some of my favorite words!</p>
<p>I put down “triskaidekaphobia”. Fear of the number 13, which is impossible because 13 is my favourite number XD</p>
<p>My original word was “chidori”, but…I kinda loaded the section with manga refs already, so…</p>
<p>I put “serendipity”…its always been my favorite word…so this wasn’t a hard question…
I think out of all the supplements i filled, the Princeton one was the most enjoyable… what do you guys think?</p>
<p>Tufts is pretty good too - their optional essays/picture/video = amazing.</p>
<p>Altruition, by any chance have you seen that one “Friends” episode where Ross thinks triskaidekaphobia means a fear of Triskets? lol</p>
<p>@Arzachel-- yes, I did!</p>
<p>I put redundant</p>
<p>@Charles: I thought Stanford’s was the most fun, even though it was somewhat arduous to get through due to its length.</p>
<p>“schadenfreude”</p>
<p>defenestrate - to throw out of a window</p>
<p>@ Mr. Sudden: Awesome word man.</p>
<p>@ 187: No, I was not joking. It really is my favorite word. I just thought it might do more potential harm than good.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I’m going to say “Hella” if I apply next year. It’s a NorCal word.</p>
<p>My very cliche word:</p>
<p>Perseverance</p>
<p>@darkblademaster: Yes Stanford’s was good…I loved the roommate essay but didn’t really do much justice to the “why stanford” prompt…</p>
<p>Quagmire. I just like the sound of it, lol.</p>
<p>Even though I didn’t apply to Stanford [way too far…], the app and essays actually looked kinda fun. I thought the required essay topics were a lot more unique than those commonly asked for at other schools</p>

<p>Halcyon .</p>
<p>pamplemousse - French for grapefruit; i just love how it sounds :)</p>
