22

<p>Haha, damn Olo they must have thought you were going all Nazi on them, cuz Hitler did the same thing.</p>

<p>Yeah Lousant I'll pm you the article :D. If any of you guys want to read it hit me up. Tell me whether I should send it to MIT though :D.</p>

23

<p>kamikaze, i would really love to read it. but haven't you submitted your app already?</p>

24

<p>I talked about playing night ultimate with my friends. Woo flashflight.</p>

25

<p>hahah if you really wrote an essay like that for MIT I'd love to read it Kamikaze. PM it to me dude.</p>

<p>Oh, and I wrote about Airsofting, but then again that was last year...and I didn't get in. :/ hehe.</p>

</p>

<p>Wow, I did the same thing - a funny little essay on making grilled cheese sandwiches. Our fates are linked..</p>

27

<p>I read an article where an essay was written in blood and the adcom freaked out becaue it started to smell wierd and nobody wanted to touch it. Some ppl and crazy.</p>

<p>Sounds like a research paper abstract to me. You shouldn't have done that. They want someone who can contribute to the "fun" on campus, not just nerds with no lives.</p>

<p>I wrote about being a redskins fan, btw.</p>

29

<p>D. wrote about baking and how relaxing it was. She's the one that shows up for team road trips with a box of chocolate chip cookies.</p>

30

<p>I wrote about daydreaming, heh.</p>

<p>Actually it is a research abstract for the Christopher Burges Lab, I thought it was pretty obvious I was joking.</p>

32

<p>I was asked in an interview, for a top 10 MBA program, what is the most fun you've had in the last year? I briefly hesitated before answering: "I went scuba diving in the Bay of Pigs on New Year's. That was fun." (true) My interviewer looked at me dumbfounded for a couple of seconds and then told me that I had given the right answer.</p>

<p>That's the kind of answer they want -- i.e. something that shows imagination outside the realm of study. Obviously.</p>

<p>That's why ;) 's were invented. It's amazing what's not obvious on the internet.</p>

<p>Emoticons are too complicated for me ;)</p>

<p>i wrote my essay about our Spring Musical at our school......it sort of owns my soul from January until May, but it also allows to be hang out with my best friends 3 times per week!</p>

<p>and ya....im kinda obsessed. and even made it tech related....i made a website for the club. woot</p>

38

<p>i'm applying next year, but i'd probably put video games</p>

39

<p>Lot of kids at Caltech fail out because of video game addictions...</p>

<p>For MIT I put playing the cello...something that I really just do for fun. Learned in 7th grade just because I liked the timbre of the instrument (already played piano for 8 years previously) and never regretted it since.</p>

<p>For Caltech's "humorous" essay I actually thought of something more interesting that I do for fun that I forgot to include in the MIT app -- being the mascot at school during sport games.</p>
