<p>Just curious. What’s his name? (Also I’m being serious, thinking of bringing him/her up on my application.)</p>
<p>Why? If you don’t know who he is, how is he pertinent to your application?</p>
<p>Is this to add to your thread “Bad topics to write about in your college essay?” Interesting thread, btw</p>
<p>The only famous professor I can think of with crazy hair off the top of my head (ha!) is Cornel West, who no longer teaches at Harvard or Princeton, and never taught at Cornell (ha!) or Yale. I’m sure that there are many teachers with crazy hair, but that’s a categorization much in the eye of the beholder. </p>
<p>I just wanted to include his name in my application 
but it’s okay, I’ll just go with something else if that idea is too inappropriate.</p>
<p>Einstein was at Princeton. Steven Pinker is at Harvard.</p>
<p>Yale wants a diverse class ----> Yale has a lot of comedy groups and the Yale Record which need funny/ironic/sarcastic people----> go for it!</p>
<p>Quirky and crazy essays will catch their attention. Just make sure whatever you write is a good reflection of you and does not come off as forced or fake.</p>
