I might have made a mistake on the five words short answer...

Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University

<p>Someone online told me that the best thing to do for the five words short answer is to put words that admissions wants to hear. So I put: enrollable, acceptable, admissible, matriculable, inviteable.</p>

<p>NOW, in retrospect...I think I should have put: wealthy, charitable, loyal, giving, returning</p>

<p>what do you guys think?</p>

<p>side note: I am kidding. However, if you had some funny ideas for the Stanford supplement's short answers or essays like I did (well, I thought they were funny), feel free to post 'em :P</p>

<p>I actually did hear from someone on CC (who was serious) that they were considering picking words that, when abbreviated, spelled out A-D-M-I-T. Like, Attentive, Diligent, Merry, Industrious, and Talented. lulz.</p>

<p>That last one, the admit one, would probably be a good addition, though. It shows their personality :P That's assuming they notice it.</p>

<p>sorry for giving you the scare siliconvalleymom :-)</p>

<p>On the topic of rearranging the words according to their first letter: as I am OCD I put my words in alphabetical order. I have the feeling there are probably a few others like me who did that :P</p>

<p>i said: "Can't use just five. Sorry."</p>

<p>:x... not too confident about that one now. what do you think? too cliche?</p>

<p>dococtopi, cute but cliche :\ depends who reads it i guess</p>

<p>just think about how many ridiculous adjectives they are gonna get. i mean i bet a lot people used a thesaurus to get some pretty gnarly, original words that make no sense</p>

<p>hehe...I almost want to pay the application fee next year to fill out a joke application and implement a bunch of these ideas. I thought it would be fun to give them five words in different obscure languages (ex: icelandic). Well, it would be fun if they looked each of the words up...which they probably wouldn't</p>

<p>I am my own man.</p>

<p>should i have put that?</p>

<p>Kinda sounds like what I did, not using just a string of adjectives. I think it'll make you stand out.</p>
