<p>too risky? i just started it, its not brilliant, but its unique</p>
<p>if the adcoms know what lolcats are</p>
<p>I think it may be too unfamiliar territory to adcoms. But it is unique.</p>
<p>LMAO. If you describe lolcats really well, perhaps it will work? But my gut tells me: no LOLCATS in essays, ever.</p>
<p>describe lolcats really well? thats lame</p>
<p>im biting the bullet and starting off the essay assuming that they are familiar with lolcats</p>
<p>LOLcats would work for UChicago…their adcoms post LOLcats pix on UC Uncommon Blog…just another reason they rock!</p>
<p>normally I would say: WHAT THE HECK? NO!!</p>
<p>But I did read your other essay about eBay (very unique!), and I can tell you that even if you write about a subject like LOLCATS, you will still manage to produce a Shakespeare-quality masterpiece</p>
<p>Not shakespeare quality heh</p>
<p>But its personal, gets the job done (tells them some more intimate details about my personality, even if they don’t get the lolcat references), and keeps them awake while reading I suppose</p>
<p>I think ill go with it</p>
<p>…</p>
<ol>
<li>What are lolcats? (Forgive my ignorance)</li>
<li>I’m really interested in what the ‘Stanford Roomate Essay’ prompt is.</li>
</ol>
<p>UChicago and MIT know about lolcats…maybe Stanford does too.</p>
<p>Lolcats…if you type it into google I am sure you can find the website. From my understanding, it is where people find funny photos of cats and give the photos funny captions. :D</p>
<p>Also, Stanford requires every applicant to write a letter to their future room mate for their application.</p>
<p>If Stanford doesn’t know about lolcats, then I don’t think it’s a place either you or I want to go.</p>
<p>well said, polkadot</p>
<p>That’ll be an interesting read. Maybe if you describe at least one of their pictures? Your favorite?</p>
<p>Couldn’t you include an actual picture at the bottom of your essay? If you’re able to upload the document to the Stanford application, that is.</p>
<p>sammie: no, cant</p>
<p>but letter is done and i like it</p>
<p>on to the next essay grr</p>
<p>haha… it would be hilarious if you uploaded a strange cat picture into the “optional additional information” section…</p>
