These essays are EXCELLENT, not only are they interesting and actually about you but you actually know how to write, which is refreshing!

They are all different, and set you apart as a person -- they don't look like everyone else's essay! THIS is what adcoms want to see

How is 5/0 2 and not infinity? Please explain this concept that my mind is unable to grasp.

I like how you emphasize on individuality and your style in writing essays are similar to my own.

a=b
a+b=2a
a+b-2b=2a-2b
a-b=2(a-b)
(a-b)/(a-b)=2
1=2

but a-b=0

so 0=2(0) which works.

you can't do division like that when a=b because anything divided by 0 is undefined.

oh okay. you were hoping no one realizes that it's not possible because of the restrictions of division (a can not equal b if the denominator is a-b).

So you were just trying to be creative, right? I like it.
(Bc (a-b)/(a-b) would give you the indeterminate form, 0/0, not 1.)

can you please post your ECs? While i know that your great grades and essays helped you get into Penn, ECs have a lot to do with being accepted into Penn as well.
