<p>Now that we have all applied to Vassar, I'm curious to hear what everyone did for their "My Space" submissions (if anything at all).</p>
<p>What did you do? And did you get in?</p>
<p>My son sent in origami earrings - he wrote about folding origami for his essay as well. </p>
<p>He got in.</p>
<p>I sent in a script I wrote for my TV Production class.</p>
<p>Haven’t gotten the letter yet, but I can’t login to the website, so either rejected/waitlisted.</p>
<p>I sent in a couple of essays (humorous, insightful ones), and an alternative resume. The latter included quirky, funny facts about myself that I felt made me stand out (for example, “Olympic Level Gift Wrapper and Christmas Tree Decorator” and “Love to dance in the rain–or nearest lawn sprinkler”). Oh, and I included an article I wrote for a national magazine when I was 15. Nothing too extraordinary, really.</p>
<p>I got in! :)</p>
<p>Mine was fairly tame – I created a document with three of my best poems and a little note to the readers:</p>
<p>“these are some of my poems. sometimes i write four poems a day and don’t edit any of them. sometimes i write one and edit it for three weeks. i hope you feel them.
but i digress! onward:”</p>
<p>Reading other people’s My Space ideas and submissions made me really nervous, but evidently it worked well enough!</p>
<p>I sounds like you all were very creative!
I especially love the origami idea, esspecially because it correlated with the essay.</p>
<p>For my submission, I covered an entire canvas with little things that make me who I am such as quirky things I do, things I like, where I grew up, what I believe, things that make me diverse, etc. Then in the middle, I had a big circle that I filled with photos of myself, my family, my home, and things that are important to me to make up a sort of world or globe. Then at the bottom of the canvas it read “Welcome to my World”. </p>
<p>But I guess it wasn’t as great as I wanted to to be, I mean I was rejected after all. ;)</p>
<p>i sent in a memoir i wrote about my family home in Wisconsin that we had to sell a couple years ago. I talked about the smells of the house and how each scent brought back a different memory. i was accepted :)</p>
<p>I made an electronic poster comparing myself at 18 years old versus myself at 2-4 years old. It had pictures, fun facts, etc… I thought it was a good way to share my personality in an interesting way and show how I’ve changed.</p>
<p>I was accepted. :)</p>
<p>Wow, you guys did a great job! I considered leaving the space blank because I didn’t have time to create anything new. I just sent in a poem I had written for my English class.</p>
<p>I did get in.</p>
<p>Poem. It had a:
I am (insert detail about self) </p>
<p>layout and it was about 20 lines. My main essay was about being gay in my conservative hometown. I gots in! I have bad stats but I’m so happy!</p>
<p>didn’t send one =)
(got in anyway)</p>
<p>Didn’t do it.</p>
<p>Got in. Was going to send in some recordings of my band’s music but we didn’t finish our editing in time.</p>
