<p>I like your attitude, because it is positive - you look to appreciate many different kinds of students. What I heavily disliked about the line I quoted was that it sounded very dismissive. “Oh, so and so student won’t color our atmosphere, because only a few people will understand what is being said” – give me a break seriously! I respect that it’s hard, but I hope seriously this line I quoted does not accurately reflect the views of any admissions officer. If I met someone who talked about crazy physics I couldn’t understand, and I wanted to benefit from his/her company, I’d go pick up some physics, try to get basics down, and then talk to the individual. Not dismiss the individual as a lofty-in-the-clouds and ignore him/her.</p>

<p>Sure, I believe heavily that one should work for personal fulfillment, not to get into schools. Nevertheless, I do thing there are attitudes towards students that’re pretty ridiculous and even offensive.</p>
