<p>Ok, so I kind of sort of maybe forgot to put my quote on the top of the page and now I am beyond panicking...should I email the admissions office or write a letter? I sent the app by paper today, im in switzerland so it would take awhile for a letter to arrive.</p>
<p>and to theprez, I don't think it needs to be explained. I think that it shows your maturity that you are able to recognize the merits of your local church's work in the community without adhering to their belief system</p>
<p>Subjunctively, did you use either the Woody Woo or the rock-in-hand quote? If so, I think it'll be pretty obvious what your quote is, and hence I wouldn't worry.
Contacting them would just confuse matters, they'll get it anyway.</p>
<p>But if you used your own quote...I'd definitely email them. Don't give them just your quote, send your whole essay over, this time with your quote at the top. I'm sure they'd be fine with that, people make mistakes all the time.</p>
<p>After all, we're human right? ;)</p>
<p>No, I didn't use the woody woo or the rock quote...and like some of the other people, my quote was realllyyy just a jumping off point. Yeah, now that I've calmed down I realized it's not a big deal, but when I was first picking up the scraps of paper from my floor and realized that I cut the quote off of the sheet..eeeee</p>
<p>And actually I'm not a human, I'm a robot ;)</p>
<p>Would you think that using a quote from the movie "Music & Lyrics" and writing an essay about my passion for music is too na</p>
<p>That should be fine. Haha my common app essay is a bit lackadaisical, in my opinion (for God's sake, it's about how Disney has influenced me). And then my Princeton supplemental essay is die-hard serious, and about the death of a close family friend, and yahhhh.</p>
<p>i ended up changing mine to how i took this class and through it my political beliefs took a 180 degree turn. should i put that i was really liberal before and now i'm not or just leave it hanging. it's not important to the overall story but it would clarify things, i suppose. </p>
<p>i hate this essay. i scrapped my first version.</p>
<p>I would definitely give examples of which of your views changed. It's not important to the meaning, but it would give specificity (a word?), and make it seem more authentic.</p>
<p>ItsAllJibberish:</p>
<p>my common app essay is also about how Disney has influenced me...</p>
<p>haha.</p>
<p>Mine comes in at 464, and it's about how I learned the value of the time I have with those I love through the loss of my Grandmother and my family's failure to use the opportunities we had to be with her in the days before she fell.</p>
<p>BTW, would anyone like to look at it? I'd like to get some suggestions for changes before I send it in.</p>
