Serious Vs. Funny or BOTH?

<p>Hi! I'm applying to college through QuestBridge which is basically a program for high-achieving low-income students. It has a supplementary application (containing two essay prompts) that can be forwarded to colleges. My question is: </p>

<p>My Common app essay is funny and most of my supplement essays will be funny too but my QuestBridge essays are serious. Is that a bad idea? Or is it actually a good thing? Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, I'm looking at schools like Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, etc. Ones that give great financial aid. Thanks!</p>
