They are not looking to be Humored. They are looking to be IMPRESSED… And you can thank me later for this word of advice

Huh? Have you read or are you familiar with what adcoms go through for six months each year? they would LOVE to laugh or smile after reading dozens of droll, pompous essays and short reply answers.

Why would OP thank you? When did a Yale adcom tell you this?

Better safe than sorry I always like to say

Well, at least you’re consistent.

Nonesense. Ever heard the phrase “carpe diem”? or the phrase “no risk, no reward”? Or how about “nothing ventured, nothing gained”, or even better, “to thine own self be true”?
