<p>I suppose your asking is akin to students who read “college essays that got me in” for ideas. </p>
<p>But if you think about it, your premise is faulty. The questioners want to get a feel for you – not your image of what you think the questioners are looking for. There are no right/wrong answers. (well, I suppose if you list “Mein Kampf” you might get an auto-reject)</p>
<p>It’s a fairly frivolous exercise. Don’ t overthink it. Just list what you honestly think. If you were hanging out w/friends and someone asked this list of everyone, what would you say? Those are the answers you should put down. Don’t try to be cute and delve around for some fancy website to Wow the readers – that will immediately look unauthentic. (I’m a mid 40s Ivy grad, my favorite website? google)</p>
<p>It’s akin to some guy who wants a girlfriend: he asks all the other guys who already have girlfriends what cologne they wear – thinking that that’s the key point.</p>
<p>No. I was curious.</p>
<p>Pretty cynical though</p>
<p>I totally concur with T26E4. I also understand the curiosity of wondering how others responded to those same questions. If I were the applicant, I wouldn’t care to answer them on a public forum - they are personal in nature and intended to be so.</p>
