I like it.

Especially the page from the autobiography and the opening and closing of your Common App essay. It simply fits. Quirky, but rings true. Bravo. Better than mine, but mine got me where I needed to go, so it's all good.

Very nice essays.
The first one is a brilliant idea and the rest are scintillating masteries of language.

Your style is very similar to mine (except I wouldn't exactly write something like your Common App essay) but I have written a past paper on the divide by 0 phenomenon. Lol when I explained it to my math teacher, for one second she thought I was right, and that was all i needed to make my day and make the whole class laugh! (the look on her face was priceless)

And thanks for sharing these, goes even further to demonstrate your character. and congratz on your acceptances.

wow nobromo. thank you thank you thank you! with your posts you have answered questions that have left me puzzled and confused for very very long -- what do people mean by being honest, being yourself? what if i really do write elaboratively and excessively to the point that words lose meaning and yet an elementary message is beheld? how do i convey aspiration uniquely? among others.

thank you for your post. i know where to start.

The page 217 was BRILLIANT.
I also loved this line from Why Chicago: "Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one who asked why." hehe that was quite profound also.
