<p>For the above questions… is putting Seth and Summer a bad idea? lol</p>
<p>No seriously, though, what if you just read the brown publications and really liked the school?</p>
<p>i was wondering the same thing. also, should this be written out, or would "guidance counselor" or "alumni", etc. suffice?</p>
<p>I wrote a small paragraph. Don't stress too much over it, but don't fail to put any thought into it at all.</p>
<p>5-7 sentences is PLENTY</p>
<p>Btw, as an answer to the OP</p>
<p>I think Seth and Summer are GREAT choices!!! ;-)</p>
<p>I will have to write that it was me...before I came across Brown myself, the only reference I had was Lisa Simpson saying "No, Brown no, not Brown". I really thought it was some extremely bad college somewhere in the USA.</p>
<p>Wait, so it's BAD to talk about The OC? But Summer is soooo my role model! I want to be just like her!</p>
<p>Heh...hearing this should have made me put that as a satire. </p>
<p>But seriously, when I did mine, I said that no single person influenced me in particular, but an influence of people and other factors.</p>
<p>haha, the simpsons reference isn't as bad a the family guy one. Brian says he went to Brown, and this New Yorker guy says something like "I think my gay uncle's retarded niece went to Brown"</p>
<p>Well... Summer and Seth are my fashion idols... (I don't even know if I'm lying about that one... =\ )!!!</p>
<p>But I put something about how I met a girl who just started gushing about it at a summer program 2 years ago and we kept in touch and i got so interested I had to go visit.</p>
<p>Wow, I only wrote one sentence. "My AP English Literature teacher recommended Brown University to me..." (the end.)</p>
<p>i knew of a girl who put seth for her answer. she got rejected. don't do it.</p>
<p>i don't think how you answer this question will make any big difference on your admission result.</p>
<p>yeah, I think its just for info. Nothing serious, unless you write something really dumb.</p>
<p>i put "the perfect score" :)</p>
<p>hahaha at the family guy reference. i'll put that.</p>
<p>jk.</p>
<p>I got a laugh out of the family guy reference as well, but I wouldn't use it. Is there a word limit, however, for your responce? I mean I wrote around 2000 words about this Brown alumni who opened my eyes to the college, but is this too much. Its very consise at the moment.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>You did? Gosh you're lucky, I want one too</p>
<p>there's a 500 char limit for it</p>
<p>Lol, I've learned about Brown from "The Simpsons" too and Vassar!</p>
<p>there is no way you can possibly fit 2000 words, more like 100 words max</p>
<p>So my one was just a single line...</p>
<p>Is that horrible?</p>
