wierd essay topic

<p>Hey guys, what do you think if I write something about masturbation for my college entrance essays? Some people told me it is just entertaining and a bit radiculous,...</p>

<p>What do you think? I am serious@</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>LOL! What was the essay prompt?! I hope it's not about your favorite EC...</p>

<p>i'm sure most people will tell you to "be creative!" and to send this essay... I think you will get rejected from any school you send a masturbation essay to. i am serious.</p>

<p>sometimes weird essay topics are really helpful. my brother got accepted into columbia and he wrote his essay on Taco Bell. masturbation might be a reach but try it anyway just for the hell of it</p>

<p>don't try it on your first choice school.</p>

<p>It's clearly a very risky choice. Is there a reason why it is appropriate for your college entrance essay? And funny haha would not be the way to go. High schools kids humor is not often funny to adults. I think you risk sounding juvenile and immature. But then, I haven't read it. Is it the most important thing they should know about you to evaluate you for their college?</p>

<p>The admissions officer at UVA mentioned something quite interesting. UVA asks a question similar to, "What work of art, literature, science or technology has influenced you the most and why?" He said that UVA gets three types of answers:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>the "Declaration of Independence" answers where the applicant tries to suck up the school by providing an answer he/she believes the school really wants to hear,</p></li>
<li><p>the "The Simpsons" answers, where the applicant tries WAY too hard to stand out and be unique (your essay seems to fall in this category),</p></li>
</ol>

<p>and 3. the HONEST answers--the ones UVA really LIKES to see, where a student honestly and sincerely answers the prompt and lets their true personality and writing style outshine the actual answer.</p>

<p>the best essay i read was on taking a ****. he got into harvard.</p>

<p>it's not what you write, it's how you write it. the boy was very refined and eloquent, not crude in any manner. i can e-mail you part of it if you need some inspiration.</p>

<p>PM me that essay please!! i'd love to see how taking a **** can get one into harvard hahaha</p>

<p>what's taking a **** ?</p>

<p>um DON'T write about masterbation. you WILL be rejected.</p>

<p>this is the most amazing thread ever</p>

<p>masturbation? no. I'm all for taking a risk, but this is just too freaking risky. Personally, if I read an essay about that it would make a very bad impression :p</p>

<p>Is there a good way to do that? I just can't grasp how it would be ahhh I don't know. I can't think I'm still laughing at all the double entendres my high school mind keeps making. hahahahahaha. oh this is cake.</p>

<p>Go ahead with the essay. It's radical, but the admissions officer deserves a laugh once in a while.</p>

<p>Is that sarcasm Goldfish? If not, I'm certain there are other things that would be maybe ummm universally funny or at least closer to it.</p>

<p>I really doubt that an admissions officer wants to know about how prospective students pleasure themselves...</p>

<p>dude,, you guys are hecka funny..</p>

<p>hahahah his name is JohnPETER... hahahahahahahaha. man. priceless. dude. even if you were joking(I saw that was your first post so...) still man. If you weren't, then I'm um sorry for making fun of you. haha. I'm having too much fun on this thread.</p>

<p>lol Jusgimmethegun I was being sarcastic</p>
