Should I write down that I was Time's 2006 Person of the Year

Applying to College

<p>An interesting concept. Shows the ability to think outside the box, a bit of irreverance, and a sense of humor. Coupled with the right copy, could well be an interesting extra essay.</p>

<p>As a former manager and having seen numerous cover letters for job openings, this is the type of “stuff” that would catch my eye, and if the rest of the resume supported my initial instinct, the originator would tend to be at the top of the interview shortlist.</p>

<p>One caveat… don’t try it everywhere. You need to understand your “market”.</p>

<p>HAHAHHA <3 i love it.</p>

23

<p>bad idea haha…</p>

24

<p>Go for it!</p>

25

<p>This thread just made my day.</p>

26

<p>My son did this two years ago for MIT-he was rejected</p>

27

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m sorry.
I guess I won’t put it on my apps then.</p>

<p>Hey aabbcc1789, how’s the future?</p>

28

<p>This thread title actually made me laugh out loud.</p>

<p>[Man, I’m so nerdy that I actually remembered the 2006 cover without looking it up . . . ]</p>

29

<p>Aw, but maybe her son was rejected for other reasons!</p>

<p>IMO you should still try it for a really high reach school.</p>

30

<p>Lol. I think it would be pretty old now though.</p>

31

<p>Then the adcoms would remember you better!</p>

32

<p>I would do it</p>

33

<p>I would NOT do it. I personally don’t think it is very original OR daring. I thought of the same idea myself. I think it would come off as a desperate attempt to be funny. Trying to be funny is extremely risky when you have no idea who your audience is.</p>
