For “What’s your favorite recording” is it okay if I put a Japanese song? (It’s not anime don’t worry)
I want to put Robinson by Spitz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_-jiIiKN24 <-- this is the song if anyone is curious
I don’t see why not. I’m putting “Take It Easy” by The Eagles even though my dad said that would make me sound like a crusty old man
lmaoo I almost put a song by Frank Sinatra so I feel you
I think it should be fine!!
Do you guys think that putting a song such as Faded by Alan Walker be counted against me?
I know they only ask to get to know me more, but they will surely judge me based on my answers.
It’s not a trick question - just put down your favorite recording.
Isn’t only for the kooky campus newspaper articles where they report who the next class is? Like 60% of the class lists Lucky Charms as their favorite cereal. To me, the Princeton favorites causes a lot of needless anxiety. Focus on whether or not you have a hook, something they want.
This part of the application can be almost pure fun! I would not put something that is highly inappropriate or that may raise questions about your mental well-being… but barring something really “off,” just put your honest answers! These questions just round you out as a candidate, giving them a sense that of you as a real person, not just a bunch of statistics!
It IS a trick question actually. Those who get caught up in trying to put the ”right” thing down, vs. joyfully, honestly, sharing who they are, are the ones who fail.
