<p>Imagine yourself in a tutorial at Williams. Of anyone in the world, whom would you choose to be the other student in the class, and why? (Word limit: 300)
Williams' got this very weird prompt and I am stuck here. Should this "the other student" be someone in reality? can he/she be imaginary/historical figure, or someone I don't personally know...</p>
<p>It should be anyone–imaginary, historical, current–as long as you make it compelling.</p>
<p>Yep. The other student could be Luke Skywalker if you like.</p>
<p>:smile: thank u</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>Welcome. Good luck!</p>
<p>My son just found a typo in his supplement (he wrote “research” instead of “researcher”). Should he email admissions or just let it go? How bad is it?</p>
<p>blue, i had about 2 errors in my common app essay and got in, so i wouldn’t sweat it</p>
<p>@bluemeringue - it’s no biggy.</p>
<p>blue: AO definitely skip-reads so they normall won’t notice; even if they do notice, it’s just a minor error and won’t hurt the application. i had 2 errors in my commonapp too…lol</p>
<p>Thanks so much. He was going to email them, but it seemed like it might call attention to something they wouldn’t even notice. Appreciate your guidance!</p>
<p>My essay is pretty nerdy - it’s about the ideas I’d like to discuss with my fellow student. Do I need to make it more personal, or is it okay to focus on ideas? </p>
<p>I believe the essay is all about showing how you think–whether it is the idea itself or the way you approach to problems. so either would be good : )</p>
<p>lol yes don’t email. No problem!</p>
<p>lol yes don’t email. No problem!</p>
Would it be a good idea to write that I would take an ethics course with the dalai lama? I’ve read something online saying that this essay should mention what you can teach to the person you would work with, but my essay really just mentions what I would like to hear from him.
