<p>Some of these are sounding very well-thought out indeed… good job everyone! I did not think to come up with such a unique answer 
does this sound too generic and fourth grade-ish??</p>
<p>“What do you hope to gain from your individual college experience?”</p>
<p>Mine was “What do you fear most?”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hahaha! Gibbon?</p>
<p>Recall a recent dream. What makes it particularly memorable?</p>
<p>…talking about subconscious thoughts/imagination</p>
<p>Almost put:</p>
<p>What’s your favorite joke?</p>
<p>“Briefly tell us why you deserve a Yale education.”----that wasn’t my question though</p>
<p>i can think of more right now:</p>
<p>If Handsome Dan were to retire, what would you want to be the new mascot and why?</p>
<p>What makes you special?</p>
<p>I shouldv’e asked, “What question would you not have wanted us to ask you?”</p>
<p>My question:</p>
<p>You have just started a scholarship foundation in your name. What would the award stand for and what would be the criteria for selection of the ideal candidate?</p>
<p>If you could be the parent of anybody (living or dead), whose parent would you be? Why?</p>
<p>I asked this question because I always wondered about the parents of famous people in world history…what must of been like watching them grow up.</p>
<p>Mine was pretty generic too. =(
I asked
What are your sources of inspiration?</p>
<p>Now that I think about it, I would have liked to ask something like
If you could start a nonprofit organization, who would your charity help?</p>
<p>While successes have proven valuable learning experiences, it is through your failures that you emerge a changed individual.What is a failure of particular significance to you?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>i think it was better that you didn’t ask this. this question would’ve been too kiss-assy/ “i do community service for my resume”</p>
<p>I disagree with pigs. I think that would be an excellent question and would reveal more personal aspects of candidates.</p>
<p>that type of question is a bit cliche</p>
<p>mine was something along the lines of this:
Suppose Yale had its own college admissions classified ad section. How would you describe and market yourself?</p>
<p>^ lol the answer would be “see my app”</p>
<p>haha really? i’d try to make mine at least in some way entertaining!</p>
<p>What are the uses of a tarp?</p>
<p>I mentioned that I’d use it as a makeshift cape and fashion statement.</p>
<p>If you are accepted, will you reject an acceptance from Harvard?</p>
