<p>I'm attempting to write an essay thats the generic "tell us about yourself" prompt. My idea:</p>

<p>I am 4 foot 11. I want to write my essay describing myself as "transstatured" (would that be offensive, the play on transgendered?), and say I feel I am a tall person in a short persons body in the way that I view life, and have a slight napoleon complex. It would be cheery in tone but sarcastic, not taking itself too seriously but still giving a lot of personality. Is this unique and thoughtful? My number one is Georgetown, if that gives you an idea of the level of school I'm looking at.</p>

<p>I think it sounds clever. My son is applying to Georgetown as well and is really torn about what to write about. He does not want to write about things that are in the app. I think your idea says something about yourself and shows a good part of your personality.</p>
