Five Words that Describe You

Can I say “Future Graduate of Stanford University” or would that turn off the adcom? If not, how about “Root of derivative of tanC” (sec-see). I know some of you may say to be yourself and all that, but I want to stand out with this response because most applicants are just listing 5 adjectives that describe themselves.

Thanks

Say what you deem appropriate. Personally, I like the root one but I’ve seen some other funny ones like “five words is not enough” and 5 adjectives followed by the sixth word “Rule-breaker”…I assure you though, something like this will not have a massive impact on them and will not be a reason for your acceptance/denial (just don’t swear!)

Yeah, don’t worry about this. I promise you that five words aren’t going to make-or-break your admission or denial. Do whatever feels right.
