Most Hated Essay Question!

<p>Everybody has them, whats yours?</p>

<p>Mine are:
"How do you see yourself contributing to the Choate Rosemary Hall community"
"What is the most important piece of advice you've ever recieved and why" - Deerfield
"What do you like most about yourself and why?" - Andover</p>

<p>I nominate:</p>

<p>“You’ve been admitted to SPS, and it is Opening Day. Your roommate is your polar opposite: different race, class, interests, and geographic origin. How will you find common ground on the first day and throughout the year?”</p>

<p>sps one above is hard
nmh: who was the one person that isnt a family member and made an impact to ur life</p>

<p>OMG ^ i hate that one. I just didnt do it! its like: i don’t have people who are my like… mentors and im not from like… remember the titans or some inspirational stuff like that.</p>

<p>I did/doing the one abt an event experience that made you you or something like that.</p>

<p>I don’t mind these. If you think about it for a bit, and are genuinely honest (to yourself), and don’t write the normal cliche stuff, it can go a long way–at least for yourself.</p>

<p>Choate’s
“Every year, your summer camp appoints Green Cup Captains for each cabin with the purpose of encouraging roommates to diminish their carbon footprint. Your roommate has been appointed as the Green Cup Captain for your cabin, yet your roommate leaves lights and electronics turned on, does not recycle and even showers for way too long! One of your friends even complains that your cabin will lose the Green Cup competition because of you roommate’s behavior! Tell us EXACTLY how you would address this situation.”</p>

<p>well yeah… but that requires effort and time. and we’re all a bunch of procrastinators</p>

<p>agree with Sandals.</p>

<p>im putting choate at the end of my essay list for that reason</p>

<p>that’s interesting,i have a same essay question with kli.i does sps give all the students the same topic?</p>

<p>yeah 10char</p>

<p>I nominate Lawrenceville.</p>

<p>“Ask and answer a question that reveals something interesting about you.”</p>

<p>What the heck am I supposed to do with that?!</p>

<p>wait i didn’t get that question and I’m applying to there…weird
lol</p>

<p>i agree with ladyluck and dapples, thank goodness im not applying there :D</p>

<p>i hate the andover one the op mentioned… so hard in 150 words!</p>

<p>A7X, that Lawrenceville question’s in the supplement. You have to download it (the supplement) from the forms section, I think (:</p>

<p>Blarghhhh but yes I HATE that question. I mean, should we ask something boring like ‘What is your favorite activity’ so they’ll know more about us? </p>

<p>And I WISH I could put Choate off, but their deadline’s the earliest. Jan 10, whooo.</p>

<p>i know!
choate has questions i dont likee :(</p>

<p>I’m glad im not appplying to l’ville or Choate then…</p>

<p>SSRS</p>

<p>hahaha…but what if i dont get into andover and you do…we will never see eachtoherr…</p>

<p>I think it’s more likely you’ll get into Andover than me but I’ll save that debate. If we both get into BS we’ll se each other still probably, particularly if they’re rival schools who gather for sports. If we both get into PA I wonder if we can request to be roomates? Assuming you’d want to be my roomate of cours lol :D</p>
