<p>“The Admission Committee members would laugh if they knew I…”</p>

<p>So, this is part of the Common App!?
Has anyone begun this portion? I am terrified of counteracting my other more intellectual essays with this. :/</p>

<p>Has anyone begun?</p>

<p>where did you see this?</p>

<p>I am applying to Pepperdine, but perhaps this only pertains to thier school?</p>

<p>well, since I haven’t seen anything like that on my common app,</p>

<p>that is probably pepperdine’s supplement to the common application.</p>

<p>although it might seem to be a part of your commonapp, it is only specific to your college.</p>

<p>I’d rather have an essay that shows me in a vulnerable and personal light. An essay can be intellectual, but it still has to be about you.</p>
