What five words best describe you?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University
21

<p>Wow, there were so many unique answers! Love them all!</p>

<p>inquisitive, optimistic, analytical, cooperative, compassionate</p>

22

<p>Ambitious Creative Innovative Tall Unpredictable</p>

<p>and it really showed in my essays</p>

23

<p>Genius, good-looking, muscular, tall, asian</p>

24

<p>I put:</p>

<ol>
<li>Outlaw</li>
<li>Infamous</li>
<li>Rebel</li>
<li>Unpredictable</li>
<li>Vendetta</li>
</ol>

<p>I am expecting either an acceptance or a deferral letter. (I know this looks pointless but that’s not what I mean. : D)</p>

25

<p>Honesty, Dedication, Love, God fearing</p>

26

<p>That’s only 4. YOU CHEATED!!! :'(</p>

27

<p>synapselapse,</p>

<p>yes, i am :slight_smile: but that’s not quite what I meant when I put down “aqueous”. I always thought that water’s evocative of a lot of interesting things because it has many interesting properties. It’s essential to life but can drown you, versatile, multi-purpose, gentle but strong, of teardrops and of oceans, compatible with many things, a mirror, blah blah
</p>

28

<p>My friend was tempted to put down:

  1. Carbon-based
  2. Caucasian male
  3. 18 years old
  4. Earthling
  5. Immigrant</p>
29

<p>looking back, mine seem pathetic. They’re 100% true, but not the best words I could have used to encompass who I am:</p>

<p>Benevolent
Diligent
Good-humored–should have said comical instead lol
Honest
Outgoing</p>

30

<p>I saw this one somewhere on the internet:</p>

<p>1) Illiterate
2)
3)
4)
5)</p>

<p>looool</p>

<p>Can’t remember which ones I put now.</p>

31

<p>And I’m wondering if my daughter should have said humorous instead of comical. </p>

32

<p>inquisitive, affectionate, energetic, insatiable, and optimistic :)</p>

33

<p>My friend (who’s two years older than me) got accepted with these:</p>

<p>Tall
Striking
Handsome
Lovely
Gassy</p>

<p>Which I think is ridiculous.</p>

34

<p>Humorous, goal-driven, adaptable, explorer, inquisitive</p>

35

<p>I love how I’m the only one so far who put “intelligent.” I think it speaks to the application process as a whole.</p>

<p>After all, it is 1 of the best 5 words to describe me (and probably most people on here). If you asked my friends, that’s what theyd tell you.</p>

36

<p>Good, nobody put sourdough. I have officially won. :)</p>

37

<p>@ sehnsuchtting, it’s too bad you didn’t have room to expalin what you meant by “aqueous”</p>

<p>@ Mrpropapanda, your friend should have</p>

38

<p>stix2400:</p>

<p>I think that a lot of people on here simply took a different approach. With only five words, I wanted to focus on descriptions that were’t already obvious.</p>

39

<p>I realize that, but it’s “which 5 words best describe you” not “which 5 words would you like to tell Stanford admissions”</p>

<p>unfortunately, there is a huge difference. If people had to actually pick 5 words that best describe themselves “for real,” Im sure the results would be very different from what’s on this thread. And that’s what annoys me.</p>
