<p>This is Stanford's 2nd of 3 major questions:</p>
<p>Virtually all of Stanfords undergraduates live on campus. Write a note to your future roommate that reveals something about you or that will help your roommateand usknow you better.</p>
<p>When it says reveals "something" does that mean just one specific thing, or is it more broad. I can't tell, considering if it were a REAL note, then it would tend to be more broad. So, if you have any ideas that would be great.</p>
<p>Talk.</p>
<p>About.</p>
<p>Anything.</p>
<p>But for the love of God, do not sound like a pompous ho. Sound like a TEENAGER, because you are one. This one is meant to really hear your voice, but at the same time get to know you.</p>
<p>I advise you to talk about something specific in a casual tone–just like if you were talking to your actual roommate (except in note form).</p>
<p>I just got rejected from Stanford for EA, hopefully my advices can help you.
For the roommate note, I created a scenario that my roommate was dropping his economics class, and my note is slipped in his drop-out form, saying how he should reconsider and my experience in overcoming my difficulties in US History bla bla bla. I made it quite pompos and didactic(bad decision). Try to sound more like a teen.
For the third one, I made a few envisions of how I fit into the campus. For example…
“I can envision myself bleeding. After leaving our cardinal footsteps for the meet upon the raining dish loop, my cross-country comrades and I shower and proceed to the football Stadium with six thousand other colleagues. We are there to support our fighters, to defend our utmost Stanford Axe, and to bleed for our school.”
I personally think it’s a good one, but then you perhaps can go further than that.</p>
<p>Good luck mate.</p>
<p>“Don’t sound like a pompous ho” </p>
<p>Line of the night. Thanks a ton for the advice. I think that’s the best way to approach the question.</p>
