<p>Hello all.
So, for the roommate essay, does it have to be a particular experience per se, like, "The first time I won gold at the Olympics", or can it be a basic narrative describing myself, like, "I have the brain of Einstein, the body of Schwarzeneggar, and the heart of Mother Teresa"?</p>
<p>...that was weird.</p>
<p>Although I prefer the second example, it does ask for a "personal experience that reveals something about you." You should incorporate both into your essay. For example:</p>
<p>Dear roommate,
Because I have the brain of Einstein, last year I was able to devise an elaborate plot to sabotage the Olympic games. I crushed my opponents with my Schwarzeneggar-like body and, because I was the only participant left, won the gold. However, because I have the heart of Mother Teresa, I gave the medal to a more deserving athlete.
Yours truly,
