<p>I wrote my essay about fruitcake…and it got me in at Vassar, Colgate, Hamilton, and Carleton.</p>
<p>@ Pinkplan, you need to focus your essay. It really doesn’t matter what. It need not be meaningful, or life changing.</p>
<p>@Dramamine: haha don’t worry, I doubt that I’ll actually write that. It might be true but I’m a total whimp (and also only a rising senior who hasn’t written a cent yet). Plus, it’d never get pass my college counselor and parents. Oh well…</p>
<p>For his Wheaton supplement, my friend wrote about StarCraft and having a car accident in a stack of hats which mysteriously spelled out wheaton on impact. He got accepted with full tuition scholarship lol.</p>
<p>PinkPlan, a word of caution, that essay may come across as pompous.</p>
<p>Offbeat essay? In this article in University of Virginia, an admissions officer told of an essay that started with “the woman wanted breasts.”</p>
<p>Thank You tons guys, I apreciate the replies :)</p>
<p>All of this is Brilliant and a very entertaining read. I love the idea of finding a few free common app schools and applying for the fun of it. I think i’m gonna give it a shot and see if these ridiculous essays work. Because of the new common app word limit, maybe something like “They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here’s half of a picture.” and then scan in a picture torn in half. If that doesn’t get their attention, i don’t know what will</p>
<p>While not a college essay, in Pennsylvania homeschoolers have to send in an essay to the school district with all their paperwork. My friend, not convinced they actually read it, wrote the introduction and conclusion in English, and the whole body of the paper in German.</p>
<p>When they got the paperwork back all it said was, “Good work on the essay.” No mention of the German. ;D</p>
<p>i had wrote an [Essay</a> on Abraham Lincoln](<a href=“http://essaycompanyreviews.com/essay-on-abraham-lincoln.html]Essay”>http://essaycompanyreviews.com/essay-on-abraham-lincoln.html)…i think a better academic essay needs some more best aspects and sources…</p>
<p>I’m not even a senior yet, but I wrote this introduction for an essay with some attempt at light humor and everyone told me it was wonderful but not illegible for like a college admissions essay because of the flowery wording … Tell me what you think: >>>
“My name is Krisly M. Zamor and I am interested in your college. Like most, I have been innately gifted with the bequest of many talents. Unlike most, however, I have chosen to explore and develop practically each and every one of my talents. Since I believe that every being is born with numerous talents, I find it proud to announce myself as mentally and readily prepared for the **competition. I am a writer specifically, but I am also a gardener, and I plant seeds in the souls of the unfed soils and nurture them into blossoming gardens. I am singer, and my voice is inevitable. With that, I am an editor and I persistently edit all that is unjust in this world. I am a beautician and I beautify the simple things in into greater creations. I am a soldier, without the battlefield, without a bullet or a trigger, yet I still win wars. And most importantly, and hopefully you can relate, I am an awesome dancer when nobodys watching!”</p>
<p>It’s still just as bad as it was two years ago.</p>
<p>@PinkPlan - don’t start off by stating your name. It’s quite amateur, and your writing matches the level of introduction.</p>
