<p>All that’s needed is a little lurve.(what happened to this word, tetris)</p>
<p>It faded away…</p>
<p>what does ‘lurve’ mean ?</p>
<p>I just woke up from an amazing lay-in of twelve hours :D. Haven’t slept more than 5 hours this whole week (finals session, think I did really really badly because I kind of was really sick, hope it’ll be at least good enough to let me pass :().</p>
<p>It’s just another way to say ‘love’</p>
<p>okay 
(hum… it’s not the kind of word you would use in an essay, right ?)</p>
<p>Oh absolutely not</p>
<p>Hey. A non-Indian makes an appearance. :D</p>
<p>Why are we classifying the Nepalis as Indians!?</p>
<p>Because ccprofile spends more time on TiT than we do.</p>
<p>Perhaps we should offer people the right to self-determination.</p>
<p>Everyone can become an Indian then :D</p>
<p>
Well, you do need someone to keep the thread alive, don’t you? ;)</p>
<p>Hehehe nice one :D</p>
<p>To speak of college-related once again:</p>
<p>Do you guys think it would be weird if I wrote my CommonApp EC essay on how much time I’ve spent learning Russian, reading Russian lit, learning about Russian customs and Russian history, etc? I know it’s not very ** official ** as an EC, but it’s a huge interest of mine and I’ll probably take a lot of Russia-related classes in college.</p>
<p>Or would it be better to write about theatre as I originally intended?</p>
<p>Why don’t you write about both and see which one turns out better?</p>
<p>But isn’t it completely out-there? I mean, can it even be classified as an EC?</p>
<p>I think the Russian thing fits the groove of the Stanford intellectual vitality essay more than this one.</p>
<p>Hey whats the word-limit for common app essays. It says minimum 250 but does that mean we can jump beyond 1000.</p>
<p>Generally, you should try keep it to 800 max.</p>
<p>But then I have seen many students cross 900 and still get into elite institutions…</p>
<p>You have to have a very compelling essay to keep the reader engaged past 900 words.</p>
<p>My essay’s between 550 and 600 words right now, and I’m going to stick to that length for the rest of my essays as well.</p>
