<p>So, which essays did you guys choose? Any really wierd prompts to share? Did you share essays between prompts?</p>

<p>Me:
Andover: One day and $1000
Exeter: Favorite word, Any topic
Milton: 5 required ones and "Never judge a person until you climb into their skin and walk around in it" (To Kill a Mockingbird)</p>

<p>It's kinda funny that I used Andover's essay for all three schools (just without numbers for Exeter and Milton)</p>

2

<p>Exeter: Fav Song, and I think something you feel strongly abt (?) idk</p>

<p>I love milton’s essay i could totally write that :)</p>

<p>I just hated all of the ones like :" Who has had a special impact on your life?" or “What is a piece of advice given to you that has changed your life?” or other crap like that.</p>

3

<p>lol I agree that those prompts are sooooo annoying! Ugh, I hate the ones about advice…I need a personal Dumbledore or Yoda or something, bleh</p>

4

<p>For Andover I did the first one (explain something you once though you knew but now you are not certain).</p>

5

<p>what did you say in the essay?</p>

6

<p>For PA i would’ve done the biography one :)</p>

7

<p>One of concords was 'write page 179 of your autobiography"</p>

<p>I didn’t really like the biography ones…</p>

8

<p>@assign: I don’t know if you were asking me the question, but I talked about childhood.</p>

9

<p>page 179? really? that’s stupid, what if page 179 would be talking about cheese or something!? i think when I’m all famous and whatnot I’ll right a bio and make it all abt cheese on pg 179, just b/c of that <em>note to self</em></p>

10

<p>What if it ended before page 179?</p>

11

<p>page 179…why not page 1? :)</p>

12

<p>Page 179…I am starting to think some of these adcoms have nothing else to do and would like to hear funny storys.
My Essays Prompts:
Name 5 people you think are ugly and why
How many times have you eaten goat cheese and when</p>

<p>(IN case you don’t know…JK)</p>

13

<p>exeter:
pick a topic of which you are passionate about.
describe a moment where you felt challenged/successful/overwhelmed and how you handled it.</p>

14

<p>Those are the same topics that I did. :D</p>

15

<p>as me?</p>

<p>tenchar.</p>

16

<p>Yes, I picked the same topics as you, schoolgirl.</p>

17

<p>haha, cool. hopefully we have or will have the same ‘location’ too. sorry if you didnt understand my joke.</p>

18

<p>I picked those too, urbanflop and schoolgirl!</p>

19

<p>Haha, it seems like I picked topics that not many people did</p>

20

<p>would you guys be okay with posting your essays here for everyone to see? there’s a couple threads like that in the stanford and brown boards (YES THIS IS WHAT I DO I STALK COLLEGE BOARDS >B) and they’re really helpful</p>

<p>we can post them after we’re accepted if you’re paranoid of creepy adcoms seeing. :P</p>
