<p>doppelganger!</p>
<p>my list of contenders included mellifluous, bonanza, quintessential, defenestrate, superfluous, apocryphal, fictitious, scandalous, and ANTEPENULTIMATE</p>
<p>don't you wonder - how much could that question POSSIBLY influence their decision? i KIND OF understand questions like "favorite book" or "favorite movie" - they're trying to get to know you better and figure out what type of person. but, what could someone's favorite WORD possibly ever tell you about them?</p>
<p>Constantinople was mine...
I actually wrote down Fun and Constantinople, I declared it a tie..</p>
<p>Constantinople is a good idea- it's one of my favorite words, too. :) I put down audacity.</p>
<p>From current students: sparkling, accepted, princeton, rhapsody</p>
<p>wonder (10char)</p>
<p>coalesce was my favorite word</p>
<p>my favorite quote was from Lord of War, "there are two types of tragedies in life. One is not getting what you want; the other is getting it."</p>
<p>I put acoustic as mine.
Also my favorite quote is from Garden State:
"If you can't laugh at yourself, life's gonna seem a whole lot longer than you like."</p>
<p>LMAO Zester!</p>
<p>What if your admin rep is a guy! O.o</p>
<p>I think the question is what if my admin rep is a 50 year old female passed menopause who hasn't watched Mean Girls and isn't accustomed to pop culture xD</p>
<p>Corpuscle.
Look it up.</p>
<p>It pwns.</p>
<p>I was going to put myxomatosis because I'm a huge Radiohead fan and it's an interesting word, but decided to change when I found out it's a disease that rabbits get (kinda weird). So i just did opinion as my word cause I like 'em lol.</p>
<p>i'll wait till after deadline too to post mine up. </p>
<p>i think mine is rather special =]</p>
<p>hmmm. I'm not applying, but this thread caught my eyes. did anybody put "hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia?"
I don't know if it has been brought up yet (and i'm not going to go through 11 pages to check it!)
My favorite part about that word is this: the meaning of the word is "the fear of long words" :)</p>
<p>I put eclectic I just like the way it sounds... the variety of sounds is so eclectic</p>
<p>again, I put "corpuscle," but I almost went with "dystopia."</p>
<p>I've always thought it sounded cool. Plus, books and movies about dystopias are always awesome! lol</p>
<p>Somebody should put "Accepted"</p>
<p>haha, they'll respond with a resounding "Rejected"</p>
<p>^ LOL!</p>
<p>Good stuff...</p>
<p>@StanfordMom09: </p>
<p>Having read some of your posts on the Stanford forum, I can almost assure anyone that that's complete BS. Take a screenshot of the grayed out text boxes on the application to prove me wrong, but I certainly don't believe you.</p>
<p>I've always loved the word "hullabaloo".</p>
<p>word: bibliobibuli</p>
<p>website: hotmail lol</p>
<p>quote from "the princess bride": My name is Inigo Montoya; you kill' my father, prepare to die. :-) (great movie btw, anyone who hasn't seen it should ;-))</p>
