Answers to short response questions

<p>Just my takes-</p>

<p>The BCS: probably not a “bad” choice, as long as it says something about you as a person (and not only that you are a football fanatic). If you send this one in, make sure it attests to your analytical skills or character (among others). Essays shouldn’t be about your hobby, but rather use the hobby as a means of authenticating you as a person.</p>

<p>The other two: Just my opinion, but I think these are a little too “cutesy” for college applications. Having not read your answers, I can’t know how exactly they fit into your application as a whole, but I suspect them to be a bit insincere. Remember that most adcoms have seen all the tricks in the book, and are, at the end of the day, looking for authentic portraits of the self. Most (hopefully) applicants, for example, wouldn’t want to be rejected from a university- that should be obvious without spending a paragraph to say so. I think it would be a good idea to devote at least one to Pro Humanitate, and how your service/life experiences fit the school motto. </p>
