<p>Stanford… I’ll be a sophomore this fall and I never saw my roommate’s essay. Don’t waste time and crucial space making it seem like you are corresponding with someone else your age (because you aren’t!)-- just use it as another essay that you can show off your personality and experiences to the admissions officers. If you are the quirky kind of person who would write an interesting letter to their roommate, then perhaps go with it. </p>
<p>Just be who you are in your essays, best of luck.</p>
