Choate's Essay Question!

<p>Every year, your summer camp appoints Green Cup Captains for each cabin with the purpose of encouraging roommates to diminish their carbon footprint. Your roommate has been appointed as the Green Cup Captain for your cabin, yet your roommate leaves lights and electronics turned on, does not recycle and even showers for way too long! One of your friends even complains that your cabin will lose the Green Cup competition because of your roommate’s behavior! Tell us EXACTLY how you would address this situation. </p>

<p>This is the hardest question on the application. Like SERIOUSLY! what do they mean by EXACTLY? Is it like my conversation with my roommate? or is it how I’m going to address this to everyone in the dorm? THIS QUESTION IS ****ING ME OFF!</p>

<p>A) I hope you know what the Green Cup Challenge is…if you don’t, you should. That’s very relevant to the question.</p>

<p>B) I think they are looking for you to be a leader and have concrete plan of action given the scenario presented.</p>

<p>C) If you find yourself that frustrated by one essay question, perhaps you should reconsider if you are ready for BS.</p>

<p>@imymemine. You know that we cant answer this question for you as that would be cheating. You do realize that AOs read through these posts. Do you really want to advertise your frustration here. Don`t you have people near you who can help you understand the questions? I think, in this case, you would be better off not asking strangers on the internet. Better to ask someone you know.</p>

<p>It’s a great question. BS life is full of uncertainties.</p>
