writing bad jokes. it’s more of a hobby, actually. i’m in the process of compiling them and putting them on a website. should I mention this in my essay? it’s more of something I do for fun, I hope the adcoms won’t find it inappropriate… at the same time, it’s a part of me that’s not at all on my app (mainly science-y). sorry if this sounds really ridiculous / absurd. um, so yeah, give it to me straight 
<p>If you're applying to top universities, I wouldn't go there. If you're looking at smaller places, size and reputation-wise, it might add to their impression of your character.</p>
<p>hah, yeah, I am actually looking at some top universities. if i get in early to my first choice, it might be fun to screw around and see what happens with other schools :D</p>
<p>If you wrote a dynamite essay that really features the bad jokes , including some of the jokes and actually built to something about yourself and concluded with a good punch line ...this might really catch Univ of chicago's fancy. Use the jokes to tell a story about yourself...I'd be intrigued....</p>
<p>I second Spiker... I think that would be a good essay topic.</p>
