<p>Hello, I have a quick question. For one of the essay questions on the Stanford supplement we have to write a letter to our prospective roommate, revealing something about ourselves.</p>
<p>Would it be effective or ineffective to write this letter as a poem?</p>
<p>Ultimately what it will reveal, is my love for poetry.</p>
<p>I say go for it. My friend who got in EA did something really creative and crazy for this, so I'm sure they'll appreciate your poem.</p>
<p>if you actually write poetry outside of college apps go for it. i think it is when people suddenly decided that they should become poets that things go wrong.</p>
<p>Yes, I actually write poetry. I've done it for quite a while now; it's actually coming along pretty well. I'm almost half ways done...</p>
<p>I'd like to read that if you're willing to PM it to me when you're done! I promise I won't steal it, I'm already in college lol</p>
<p>That does sound interesting! All I wrote was a pretty boring letter about my volleyball experiences... but I got accepted so I guess it wasn't horrible...</p>
<p>Anyway, my point is: yes, write a poem and impress the those admissions officers at Stanford!</p>
<p>Not to sound like a plaigarist but I wrote a poem too... But I already submitted my application... It was a little quirky but it came out well i think :D</p>
<p>^ I guess the idea isn't THAT unique!</p>
<p>lol... probably, but i really loved writing the poem!</p>
<p>I didn't read this thread prior to this but I too wrote a poem. Hahahaha. And yeah I'm a writer so it made sense.</p>
<p>Lolz.</p>
<p>Lol.. Looks like a lotta people are writing poems to their future roommates.. If they really did use it to choose roommates, I think it would turn out hilarious..</p>
<p>ya i wrote a poem too hahaha.</p>
<p>Oh! There seem to be a lot of people who wrote poems!</p>
