<p>Maybe it is to much to say that I described myself as a communist.
In fact, none of my essays are about communism.</p>
<p>However, in my favorite book section on Princeton Supplement Application, I put "Manifesto: Three Classic Essays on How to Change the World:Ernesto Che Guevara, Friedrich Engels, and Karl Marx."</p>
<p>This book seems a lot like a communist book. Nonetheless, I'm not a communist at all. I am a capitalist and fond of Democratic society, and want to be a fund manager in the future.</p>
<p>The reason why I but the above book as my favorite is beacuse I believe that book and communist movement itself kept capitalism in a check, and helped us to perfect the mode of modern society.</p>
<p>Though the reason seems abstract and absurd, I just wanted to point out that I'm not a communist at all!!</p>
<p>How would Princeton University admission committee would think about my favorite book? Would they think that it is unique? or would they dis-favor me as they think that I am communist-minded??</p>
<p>Do I have to call Princeton, and ask whether I can send an explanation letter for my favorite book??</p>
<p>Princeton is my first choice university and I'm pretty worried right now. </p>
<p>It really depends on the admission representatives that read your application. You could have a devout capitalist who would find your taste in books repulsive. Or it could be an open minded intellectual who would view your choice as unique. In either case, a lot more people are open to socialist ideas than they used to be (universal health care, veteran benefits, etc.), so there’s a good chance that the admission rep will label you as open-minded, rather than accuse you of treason. </p>
<p>I personally would not feel the need to explain myself, but I’m just another applicant so feel free to throw away my advice. I’d say go with your gut, unless your receiving some sort of professional guidance. </p>
