<p>is it okay to have fun with the quicktakes?</p>
<p>Yes, I say to have fun with nearly everything relating to a college application. Especially something snappy like quick takes-- you can say a lot about your personality which is hard to get across in an essay. Just be honest.</p>
<p>Ooh yes, most definitely have fun with those! That's what they're for, really. Just don't get too carried away and submit some inappropriate answers. :o</p>
<p>During lunch at orientation, one of the higher-ups (I don't remember who he was) read the funniest quick takes that they received. I believe one of the answers to "favorite food" was spam. :)</p>
<p>My daughter's answer to "Favorite Possession" was her Disneyland Annual Passport, LOL.</p>
<p>At the luncheon we attended for accepted students, USC made kinda a big deal over these. I think its a way to get to know the student versus just asking "typical" questions. They are fun, so have fun with them! </p>
<p>My daughter's answer to her "favorite possession" was her gymnastics medals (all 200 of them). It was a pleasant surprise when they read her quick take aloud at the luncheon.</p>
