<p>Hi I was just wondering if it was acceptable to use a pet for "what person influenced you the most". I know its sad but the house dog had the biggest influence. (lol)</p>
<p>I say do it. I’m sure they get a million essays about moms and dads and brothers or sisters, so I think that it will bring a nice change to the admission reading process for them. If you’re on the fence for application, though, it migt be a little risky. What are your stats?</p>
<p>imo that seems like something that will make you stick out from the rest of the lame cookie cutter essays they get. but id go talk to an eng teacher or guidance counselor who knows more about college apps and admissions offices before you do it. run it by someone in the know ya know?</p>
<p>edit-but just for the record, i think its a good idea.</p>
<p>well my gpa is 3.79, 1790 SAT, and 5 APs after this year.</p>
