[li] Essays (subject and responses): lol, they were funny. I took big risks.</p>[/li]
<p>Common App: It was about how I canāt dance. Hereās a snippet: āI approach the dance floor uninhibited. I reign with my graceless hip juts and gawky arm waves. And so is the approach that I take on life withāa one-of-the-kind type of perspective. Unfortunately, sometimes it seems that my mirror may be the only entity to ever appreciate the way I boogie.ā</p>
<p>Essay #1 āWho Are You?ā: I wrote about how my hands are odd looking. I know that sounds really odd, but hereās a quote: āI used to joke with my mother that when my future boyfriend proposed to me, he would take note of my hands while placing the ring on my finger and immediately withdraw his proposal.ā</p>
<p>Essay #2: I wrote about my family and how we operate as a democracy. āFrom decisions on what fast-food Chinese dishes weāre ordering to voting on the past presidential election, my family is always collaborative. I may deliver a brilliantly composed argument demonstrating why āKung Pao chickenā conquers āchicken with broccoliā, or assert a convincing presentation as to how Obama outshines McCain.ā</p>
<p>Iām posting only quotes of my essays because when I was applying, I always wondered what kind of essays Tufts thought were interesting/quirky. I know Tufts is a school where kids have to be smart, but also incredible and interesting people. This is actually what drew me to the school. Anyway, I know a lot of fellow CCers were wondering what I meant by writing about my āfat handsā so yeah, I hope that quote kinda explains it!</p>
<p>[<em>] Teacher Recs: I read one - it was OK. I havenāt read the other one.
[</em>] Counselor Rec: Really, really good from what Iāve heard. My counselor actually left, as she had to deliver her baby, so when my new sub-in counselor arrived, he read her rec and said it was really good.
