I chose option 4... about the games? Hopefully it turned out well. I guess only time will tell, right?

My main essay was an abstract and stylistic essay about a fictional char (engl teacher said it was the most original she'd ever seen hehe). My optional was about my favorite music and books. My supplement was the game one. I must admit, I actually liked writing these  |

I choose Option 5 but now that I look back I come off as an incredibly pessimistic guy in my application
Oh and I requested an Alumni Interview last night | |

I did option 5 as well. Hm, for my optional one, I just talked about one thing... hopefully that doesn't matter too much - I don't know how picky they'll be about the "few" (any thoughts?). I got an e-mail from my interviewer today! She says they need to get their stuff in by 11/20, so don't worry if you're just requesting yours!

I got a confirmation that I requested an alumni interview (I did so yesterday) but haven't gotten an email from anyone yet though.

I requested my interview last Tuesday, and I got an e-mail from the interviewer today, so it takes about a week. Hope this helps. | |

Belatedly joining in, son applied EA. He chose to get caught. The essay was pretty strange, if the readers get it they will either love it or hate it, if they don't get it they'll be totally baffled. For the optional essay he wrote about The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and David Weber and his love of Tchaikovsky, Kenny Rogers and Finnish metal music.

S2 was caught for his main Chicago and #2 (change in political philosophy) for his CA main. Optional was mainly about POETRY (!!!!!!!!!!) and how a few specific pieces speak to him. Never would have imagined it.
Many David Weber fans in our house, mathmom! S1's best bud got S1 and DH totally hooked.
