What question did YOU come up with?

<p>So, as we all know, the last short answer of the Northwestern app is to come up with a question that could possibly appear on the application in future years. I was just wondering then, what questions everyone came up with.</p>

<p>I realize that the deadline for regular admissions has not yet passed, but it would be really lame/stupid for a person to steal a possible question.</p>

<p>So here is my prompt (in condensed form):</p>

<p>If your life was a movie, who would be the director? What actors would play you, your family, and your friends? And, what would be some climactic moments?</p>

2

<p>oh wow a nice question</p>

3

<p>Mine wasn’t that great:</p>

<p>Many times in our life, we experience a moment of recognition—a realization that something we believe in isn’t necessarily true. Highlight a specific moment of recognition that you have had in your life. Explain how you have evolved afterwards. Remember to be specific.</p>

<p>mine sucked hardcore.</p>

<p>i dont wanna even say it.</p>

5

<p>i bet it wasn’t even bad. and even if it was, it’s not like nu is gonna reject anyone because their question is really lame.</p>

6

<p>What person or event, outside of your family, has taught you the most about how to live in the world around you?</p>

7

<p>i know they wont…but it was bad.</p>

8

<p>tell us, i promise i won’t laugh or make fun of you.</p>

9

<p>hotpiece, ii would be ****ed to see your question on an application.</p>

<p>why? because it requires too much thinking.</p>

10

<p>does it? i thought it was sorta hard, but not to difficult. I admit, i have no idea who’d direct the story of my life. but the actress/plot line would be easy for me.</p>

11

<p>I think it’s a legit question. I’m just saying that I would not be pleased to answer it.</p>

12

<p>sorry, i thought it would be a chance for everyone to show their creative sides. but i can completely understand how someone could dread answering it.</p>

13

<p>I went through at least three questions before this one…</p>

<p>As the popular saying goes, you are what you eat. What memorable dish/favorite food/ice-cream flavor, whatever, would you have your new friends from college have to help them get to know you better?</p>

14

<p>I would be a big bowl of candy cause i’m sweet like that.</p>

15

<p>Haha…
I chose the food one bc I know I wouldn’t mind answering that question… and I could definitely answer it in 50 words. Some of the questions were hard to answer with only 50 words… I needed at least 100!</p>

16

<p>In more eloquent language: “There is nothing like returning to a place unchanged only to find the ways in which you yourself have changed.” Explain a situation like this and how you reacted.</p>

17

<p>Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle.” Discuss a personal sacrifice that you had to make for others which ultimately led to a successful and rewarding experience</p>

18

<p>hahhahaha I totally screwed this question n jsut came up with a lame one</p>

<p>‘Tell us an object in your rooom that you feel is essential to your life’</p>

<p>i think… something like that… hope it doesnt matter much</p>

19

<p>Mine is a lot less eloquent than the ones I see here :(</p>

<p>If you could have anything named after you, what would it be and why?</p>

<p>Why are rhetorical questions so interesting?</p>
