<p>We all know that it is imperative for your application to stand out amongst all the thousands of others an admission officer reads through.
The admissions officers will see hundreds of the typical Jane Smith, Honors Student, Soup Kitchen volunteer, flautist in the marching band, who "just loves [insert college name here] so much!"</p>
<p>So come on, what's your niche that separates you from typical Jane in your quest for your top, reach school? What aspect of your application will make you look different and stand out when the admissions officer reads your app?</p>

<p>Can anyone beat the multimillionaire businessman? OK fine he's kidding and I feel like most people in this thread are but if you keep them coming, and my procrastination towards my homework continues unbridled, then I will probably continue to half-assedly rate your niches in a pseudo-witty manner.</p>

I like anime, doing math, studying for school, tests, classes, getting A's, getting 100% on everything, highest score in class, teacher's pet, I love it. I like pen spinning, anime, naruto, tennis, ping pong, chopsticks, wonton soup, and drawing.</p>

<p>Instead of spending my summer at some enriching study abroad or college program (family couldn't afford one) I did hard manual labor and lived in a tent for a month. :D I can also swing a Pulaski and other tools. Probably not THAT unique. It's a big world out there, there are probably applicants out there with similar experiences.</p>
