<p>Hey all,
I was just curious how some of you did the $10 question in the application. They give an opportunity to use any media you want but i dont know if that would be better than writing an typical essay. Just curious so if you guys could just list what you have done that would be great!</p>
<p>Word.</p>
<p>i am in same situation. i dont know HOW to write for 10 dollar adventure.
have anyone used or plan to use an unique medium other than an essay?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>i have written an essay on the $10 question. i really don't think any other medium would work. if u have any suggestions, please post them.</p>
<p>can i ask you how you did approach $10 essay??</p>
<p>I submitted a scrapbook, with photos chronicling what my friends and I did with the $10. Another cool one from a student here I've talked to did hers on a dictaphone, it was like 20 minutes of clips of the day recorded.</p>
<p>for anyone doing the essay, how long was yours?</p>
<p>I didnt end up sending my application, but I composed a short piece Peter and the Wolf style with an accompanying narrative.</p>
<p>my essay was about 650 words. i didn't know u could stick pictures for an essay. i thought u had to write and show ur worth at writing.</p>
<p>dont be cute...write the essay from the heart and show how you are different and will add value...period....</p>
<p>I talked about how I was going to watch a movie my dad
It was about how me and my dad never get along, but I want to give it a try
That kinda stuff</p>
<p>Very personal, kinda had hard time writing it</p>
<p>is there supposed to be a word limit on this essay? i kno that most college essays should be around 500. anything specific for hopkins?</p>
<p>My essay on the $10 adventure is 604 words. The other essay on my favorite course is 736 words < this is a lot. Do you think its okay for the second essay to be this long?????</p>
<p>they say write a brief essay so im guessing it should be shorter than the first - I'm limiting myself to around 250....
How many eder's are sending in their applications tomorrow by mail or online?
i dont want to be the only one lol</p>
<p>My $10 one was 581 and my favorite class one was 301 words long. I think thats a pretty good length for both of them. Siblea- yea, 736 words seems like a lot but if you put them to good use, I'm sure that Hopkins wont have a problem with your essay.</p>
<p>hey both my essays were pretty long. considering that we are agreeing to attend JHU if accepted, i think writing a longer essay wouldn't hurt. and yeah humanfugitive lol, i sent my essays in today.</p>
<p>my most interesting class essay sucked. like 800 words. i didnt have time to revise it. so... plain... wordy.. i am doommed T_T</p>
<p>oh. i just sent mine. -0- i didnt have extra money to send my stuffs faster, therefore my mail would get JHU like thurday or friday. that's kinda sad -_-</p>
<p>my $10 essay was a big cliff hanger. My other one was ok....just talked about a course on research and how it helped me realize the importance of research and how it changed my life...blah blah blah...haha</p>
<p>ya, i am playing by the book. :P</p>
<p>chicagonobel (im guessing ur from illinois), are u applying ed to jhu?</p>
<p>no jhu, I am applying to Universtiy of Chicago for EA. So can't apply to JHU...Damn, just got a paper cut...too many damn application papers on my comp. desk....</p>
<p>And on the side note, I am from the lonely, the down trodden, the stupid confederate state of south carolina</p>
<p>P.S. At least for the moment.</p>
<p>yea i felt my 10 dollar was a big risk.</p>
