Roommate essay-- what did you write about?

<p>Mine is pretty literal, kind of a list of quirks/tidbits about me that a roommate actually would want to know. But I'm not sure it tells the Stanford AdCom a whole lot, so... I dunno. What did you guys write about? Anyone have any guesses as to what kind of thing they're looking for for this essay?</p>

<p>As far as i could figure, stanford is just looking for you to be yourself. For this essay it was really important that your personal voice showed. So I really don’t think that content mattered. I wrote about my quirks as well, and some random things i would like to do on campus.
I would suggest not to worry what the Adcoms are going to think of your essays, if you think they are the best you could have done that is all they are looking for. We have until december 15 to wonder if we did what they wanted, but if we keep being paranoid and second guessing ourselves we are going to go INSANE!</p>
