@matchhhead12 I’m not ‘offended’ in the slightest (and even if I were, it would be utterly irrelevant to your admissions process and chances). I am simply urging you to consider what such a statement tells you about your actual interests, and how well they might - or might not - match up with a particular future path, university or otherwise. If you sincerely dislike analyzing things, why spend 4+ years and tens of thousands of dollars pursuing a career which will, in the end, boil down to ‘analyzing things’?

I simply see too many students who applied to the U because they were lured in by peer or parental pressure, not because they actually wanted that kind of worl, and who make themselves miserable to little end. If that doesn’t apply to you, feel free to ignore.
