absolutely positive. he’s actually living in paris this year, and although we skype a bit we haven’t really discussed college admissions that much at all. i might’ve exaggerated the similarities. The progression isn’t that similar, but we definitely end on a similar note: “As I walk on, my portfolio grows; with each new picture, I recreate myself” and “I move fast through life, always making tracking shots.” And there are definitely parts of the essays that go off in different directions, but then we have lines like “Combine this with my box of tapes, play the images in quick succession, and you will have the illusion of smooth motion. This motion will be me, the human zoetrope” and “In my mind, my photographs and all their inextricably linked memories combine to form a collage of flashing images, sounds, tastes and other less easily classified sensations. This is me.”

Those are the two most similar lines I think, and there aren’t really any others like them. But they’re really similar. If these are suspiciously similar, I don’t know what to do. We obviously both submitted our apps already, and a coincidence like this, though unfortunate, is not intentional and above all, not my fault.
