Hey all!
So I was brainstorming for the infamous "autobiography" question, and I had a thought. I've always understood this question to be in regards to the future. What fool, first of all, would write a 300-page autobiography at the age of 18 (therefore making page 217 about some past experience)?

Anyway, here's my idea: The time period is, as to be expected, around 2/3 of the way through my life. However, due to *theoretical* future medical discoveries (the invention of every replacement part imaginable . . . advanced green teas that make the darn Asians live so long already . . . I don't know haha), I have so far lived to be 150. Page 217, therefore, is in regards to my 100th birthday and my personal goals for my future.

What do you think? Is it too much? I obviously took the "creative, non-traditional" approach lol

that is certainly creative and nontraditional haha.

Just for the record, I know people who were accepted by referring to a past experience in the essay.

I doubt past or present matters much as long as the essay is well written and shows who you are.

Yeah, I think that'd work. I always liked the future idea, just because it'd be more fun for me to write, but I agree that either one is fine. Just make sure it's about *you* (as in you now - the person that the universities are going to admit), and not some random event that happens in the future.
