<p>I’m applying as a transfer applicant to an “elite” liberal arts school with a unique reputation, and over the last semester have tweeted from a parody twitter of the cooks in the college’s main cafeteria. The point was to give a unique way of showing I “fit in” with the student body. I mainly just tweet generic jokes about food. It has been a huge success: I have triple digit followers and got an article in the school news website about it, with over 500 views! However, I’ve grown concerned that if I submit it the admissions staff will take it the wrong way and think it’s extremely creepy and over the line, especially in light of incidents like Manti Teo. People have responded to my tweets and stuff. Still, I haven’t crossed any lines and have only been funny. Will this be a very unique supplement, or is it worth the risk?</p>
<p>You’re tweeting about the food at a school you don’t even go to? Yep that’s creepy</p>
<p>Yeah I was afraid it would come off like that. It’s generic jokes, though. And it’s the internet… not sure how it’s actually “creepy.”</p>
<p>Really, I guess I was just wondering if it could differentiate me. One 500 word essay really is inherently limited in that regard.</p>
<p>I would immediately reject you and notify the nearest mental health center.</p>
<p>not sure what makes an essay “inherently limiting” in separating you from other candidates…seems like a much better way to separate yourself than creating a fake twitter account about a school you dont even attend.</p>
<p>I apologize for my last post. I just find this very creepy and I think that it will be taken the wrong way.</p>
