<p>Question: Did you guys write about a specific part/idea of your life for the roommate essay or did you talk about a few things (3-4).</p>
<p>The prompt seemed pretty open ended because it said something like: What would you want your future roommate to know about you.</p>
<p>it would have been better to focus it, but I talked about all the good things about myself, if you want we can exchange them and I can see what you wrote and you can see mine,
works out?</p>
<p>I talked about how one of my hobbies would affect my roommate's life, so while it touched on a few ideas, it was still focused. No sense worrying about it now though.</p>
<p>TMP is the reason you say this because you saw my post about writing on something meaning one thing?</p>
<p>i wouldnt worry about it, i remember seeing this site
roommates-</a> 'sup | Facebook
and a few of the kids who got accepted last year talked about more than one thing, if memory serves</p>
<p>as helpful as that was, remind yourself that these people write over the required word characters, damm if that were removed, my essay would be a whole damm better</p>
<p>I'll exchange mine with anyone who wants to that applied SCEA.</p>
<p>I clicked a link on another forum and the article said "The write a note to your future roommate section is the most frequently misunderstood. People still will write a note to their roommate that says, Dear Bunny, gone to CoHo for a latte. See ya later! Thompson says."
Which worries me because my roommate essay was about my quirks and my daily life, almost... flippant.</p>
<p>I think they just meant that something like "hey I'm going for a latte" doesn't tell a lot about the applicant.</p>
<p>Your essay sounds creative. You should be fine!</p>
<p>sure michelle, I will exchange, because I want to see how others look, pm me your email</p>
<p>I just talked about one of my hobbies.</p>
<p>i talekd about how i never delete emails</p>
<p>Done, aegis.</p>
<p>Oh. Mine didn't look like a note at all, haha. Random bullet points. Up for swapping with one more person, Michelle & Aegis? =)</p>
<p>um sure, pm me email?</p>
<p>mine was just about my weird little quirks.. things i figured anyone who was to live with me for a year would want to know. more on the casual, flippant side. i hope that was okay..</p>
<p>I talked about me and what kind of person I am (mainly from how I study), what I would do in a dorm and etc. Pretty boring but yea I was trying to go for: Hey I am going to be your roommate you better know these things about me.</p>
<p>I talked about how I overcame my fear of flying, and how I might forget to tell my roommate after we meet... so that's why I wanted to write it as an essay. Eh, I think it's too boring though.</p>
<p>Mine was also about my quirks, and it was really personal since I discussed things I would only normally do in the comfort of my own room. I also talked about one of the activities I would do at Stanford, which, I hope, reinforced my interest in the school.</p>
<p>i disregarded the "roomate" part of the question and just told them about one of my qualitites as a human being...i thought that it would be sufficient</p>
