| what would be the title of your autobiography and why?
Have you guys written the personal statement of colgate? How did you get around doing it? I have been thinking and thinking but to no avail..........
Anyone has some ideas they can share?

the better college essays tend to be 'slice of life' essays; instead of an autobiography, it could be ONE day (or hour) in the life of shreya....

Mine is "With the Force of a Thousand Boomboxes". I'm not quite sure why, but I really like how it sounds.

what do you guys think of "The Comeback Kid"

i was also considering throwing them a curveball by calling it "untitled"

"How Harvard Changed My Life"...I was rejected by Harvard and, instead, enrolled at Colgate. Like "The Path Not Taken" by Frost, ... you fill in the rest.

excerpts from your autobiography ??
Do we need to write a sample of what our autobiography as well? I was thinking "why" and "title" only.
I havent yet figured out my title for my autobiography. Got to stress out my brains for that.

I took somewhat of a risk with my title, An overly represented majority: The uniqueness of a dime a dozen applicant

I think the whole point of this essay is to reveal our creativity--if you wanted to include an excerpt, that's great. Mine includes something similar, too.
Boston, that is an interesting risk. Do you really think your autobiography (your life!) is about applying to college?

Nah it was just an interesting thought, I'll probably end up changing it before the deadline.
