'Off Beat' question

<p>These representatives visit tons of schools and see hundreds of kids, then read hundreds of applications from those kids, so it's doubtful that one question is going to have them really remember you. I would recommend that you instead email your regional rep, and have them get used to seeing your name (rather than your face, which is not a key part in your application), but make sure not to be a pest.</p>

<p>Even if you do establish contact with your regional rep, I highly doubt he/she is going to review your application and think "Oh, I recognize this name. In!" I guess it doesn't hurt to try, though.</p>
