<p>sorry but "migration patterns of butterflies" and "rocks on beaches" just dont tickle my brain cells. :d:</p>
<p>well even if the test time is the same, the test material can be different for different test-takers</p>
<p>btw backinblue, i had the 'migratory patterns of butterflies' thing when i took the toefl too! sems like they recycle the tests very often...</p>
<p>have you people done your app essays yet???</p>
<p>i'm trying to get started but it's... it's just so difficult. i know what i want to include in my essay but i don't know where to begin! maybe it has to do with wanting to write tht 'perfect' essay! i'm lookin for tht impressive beginnin but every time i have an idea, it seems to lose its charm after a while....! </p>
<p>maybe i should just write instead of worry abt wht those adcoms are goin to make of it..! </p>
<p>/end of rant</p>

<p>No dude...........havent even brainstormed let alone started.</p>
<p>well, jus writing worked just fine for me. But, first, u gotta do the brainstorming and yea, u always think an idea is not good enough coz u want the "perfect" essay..u should definately write on one or more topics and evlauate which essay is better. JUST WRITE..see, what comes out..the waste basket is always near, and who knows, you just might come up with a real good essay.</p>
<p>chocu, basistha..any tips for us?</p>
<p>paper or computer... wut d'u guyz prefer to do your drafts on?</p>
<p>i know individual preferences differ, but what did u find worked for u?</p>
<p>as for me, i'm using msword, but it seems using the comp can be verry distracting... i always catch myself checkin cc every so often or just plain surfin unrelated webstes!</p>
<p>do on teh comp definately,e asy to correct, to use various tools etc etc..cmon, u dont need to be told the advantages of msword. and stay offline if you cant concentrate!</p>
<p>thanks for the suggestion.. himalayandreamer. ;)</p>
<p>i always did it on computer....cant write on paper....my essay sucked.... so not giving u guys any advice..... start early.... thats the best thing to do...</p>
<p>well, in the topic of essays, i wrote points on the paper first, and then did it on the comp. i always thought i had a great idea, and then had to throw it away coz it sucked!!! i actually wrote one essay for a college on the comp itself and sent it without proofreading it properly to meet the deadline.
My main essay was a risk essay. It didn't work for COlgate, but it worked for Kenyon. Its your choice completely, but I liked the essay so sent the same thing for ED II even though it did nt work ED.
My advice wouldbe to work on the supplement essays properly. Even though they are usually small, they ask releveant questions where you can express yourself properly and effectively. If you can, work on your why this college? essay properly (even though I just changed the colls name every time, which is a bad idea)
have fun writing coll essays!!!</p>
<p>"i didnt mean that girls are oversmart... i said girls are smart... and i know they are...."</p>
<p>THIS ONE IS BETTER. but since i dislike that "self acclaimed smart" I'd hate my gender being compared to him</p>
<p>anyways, lets forget it. WE NEPALS SHOULD NOT FIGHT FOR SOME STRANGERS, HOINA TA?</p>
<p>ani thanx ahtsisab, u have indirectly helped with my essay... I'm writing about all this sexual standars and their perceptions' impact on me...
muri muri dhanyabad ( means- very very thank you)</p>
<p>dashai aayo!</p>
