<p>. What idea most fascinates you?
I really have no clue, should these be formal, informal, funny, serious, etcetera..</p>
<p>Ok rc, if you are asking these questions, you are obviously over-thinking things. I think that you are getting stiffled by trying to give Wake an answer you think they want to hear. Look at the question. As I stated in another post, there is no right or wrong answer. Who knows, you may be fascinated by earwax (humor here) or you may be fascinated by the fact that Virgin Atlantic is creating a “plane” that will take people to space (for a pretty $$$ pricetag). Only you know what fascinates you, it can be funny and lighthearted or serious. It doesn’t matter. Last year when my son applied, he found their supplement so different from the other schools he had applied to. At first it kind of turned him off but when he took the time and answered the questions honestly, I think he kind of enjoyed it. And trust me, some of his answers were out there! He got in and is a freshman and is having a wonderful experience. The important thing is to sound thoughtful and intelligent when you answer these questions but my advice is to answer honestly rather than giving them some run of the mill bs answer because you think that is what they want. Good Luck, you will do fine.</p>
<p>I agree with irish. There is no wrong answer, as long as it honest. How would you answer if the question came from your grandmother?</p>
<p>For this question my son wrote about something controversial. But, his top ten list was very teenager-ish.</p>
<p>I will give you the same answer I gave my daughter when she applied last year. You need to do it yourself. You are applying to college, not me. She got in, although she is not attending.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the help guys!! I appreciate it.</p>
<p>My son and I actually had a lot of fun with the Wake Forest supplement last year - we sat together and brainstormed for each question, and then he wrote the actual responses. Given that sometimes I find it hard to have a conversation with him - typical Mom and teenaged son issues - it was a surprisingly fun afternoon, at least from my perspective. I think that some of the questions lent themselves to more serious answers, while some just naturally seemed to be more humorous answers - a blend was good and it fit my son more accurately.</p>
