<p>my personal statement was an assignment for my creative writing class but i also sent poetry plus a short essay.</p>
<p>ah nice.</p>
<p>where is everybody from? Im from ohio a bit north of columbus</p>
<p>swarthmore, pa (twenty minutes from haverford, though i’m sure some of you looked at swarthmore too) ikillers, do you live near upper arlington? i have friends there.</p>
<p>Yah I looked at Swarthmore on my first trip… Yah I live in a town which is outside of the metro area where Upper Arlington but ya I know it pretty well. During the summers I’d drive down and have tennis clinics at the UA High school pretty much every morning. Any of your friends play tennis?</p>
<p>north jersey, although from the looks of last year’s threads, distance from haverford doesn’t seem to make much of a difference in when one receives a response</p>
<p>I feel like a bit of an outsider in this forum… am I the only one for whom humanities and sports hold little interest</p>
<p>ikillers, i love swarthmore’s campus but two blocks is not enough distance. haha. no, two soccer players, sorry.
elytron, i don’t think much, though time zones may affect things if it’s emailed.</p>
<p>i hope not</p>
<p>elytron, what do you want to major in/focus on?</p>
<p>ohio isn’t affected is it? i thought the time change took place in indiana.</p>
<p>“I imagine myself majoring in Chem or Bio, but who knows, I could have a change of heart and end up doing German.” Although in retrospect, German might not be my strongest language, all I know how to say is “Do not lean out of the gondola” and (do not ask why) “p∑nis pasta”</p>
<p>Yep we’re the same time. Not that far from the east coast, though the drive across Pennsylvania is what really kills us</p>

<p>elytron, i took german. why is it that most german students can say random phrases but can’t conjugate basic verbs? I can ask for a plump chicken. (don’t ask)
ikillers, We drive from here to Wisconsin every other summer, 5 hours through pa always sucks.</p>
<p>From New York, But i go to boarding school in Pa…
its Quaker so they kinda love eachother.</p>
<p>Apparently in German restaurants “whole chicken” is somehow a euphemism for cow entrails… I think people arm themselves with whatever random words might come in handy</p>
<p>I’ve never seen pennsylvania so harshly criticized. ouch. i suppose pa and nj have a pretty tough rivalry going.</p>
<p>lol nice link… ya it’s definitely a chore to drive across.</p>
<p>I just tell people I live in a suburb of NYC, which is relatively true. Jersey’s actually really nice in the areas furthest from (you guessed it) Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>franco14, which school? is it near philly?</p>
