<p>if one of our essays is quite serious, can we make the other humorous? is it bad to show a goofy side?</p>
<p>No I don't think it's bad at all. I read on another message board (on a different site) where a kid wrote a humorous essay and got accepted. Most colleges look for a well rounded person. So I say go for it.</p>
<p>Depends on the essay and how the humor would potentially rub off on a potential application reader.</p>
<p>Humor is fine.. as long as it's funny. Don't try to write a humorous essay if you aren't funny because it will not be taken well by the admissions reader.</p>
<p>Funny works, but it's gotta be deep... put the two together and there you go! Funny for the sake of comedy but w/o depth won't do it.</p>
