Once upon a time, I, Zhuang Zhou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Zhou. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man. --Chinese Philosopher Zhuang Zhou.

<p>my friend got in early and his question was, “What is truth?”
another friend got in early and his question was something like, “Someone once said that, ‘when everyone else disagrees with you, you are absolutely wrong - or absolutely right.’ Please describe a time when you faced incredible opposition.”
Both friends got in and both were also told that they had contributed outstanding questions in personal notes from admissions.</p>
<p>Everyone knows the college application process is not perfect. What would you change about the process and why? What would this change do to help admissions officers fully understand the applicant? Most importantly, what would this change reveal about you?</p>
<p>Jane Austin once said It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. This acknowledged truth isnt as true as it seems. Give an example from your own experience, where you discovered that a known truth wasnt quite right!!</p>

<p>What do you genuinely like to do in your free time? No need to lie here or try and give a carefully constructed answer. We actually would just like to know what you do for pure fun?</p>

<p>In the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Arthur Dent is whisked away into space by his alien friend moments before Earth is destroyed. Unfortunately, Arthur didnt have time to bring any belongings. However, he did carry with him ideas like democracy, freedom, love, hate, etc. If you traveled into outer space, what idea, object, or philosophy would you bring with you?</p>
<p>I ADORE that movie! (and the book!) Douglas Adams is a genius, and the movie is so ridiculous, but it’s great. The books themselves are just…i read all five over spring break last year, each within a day… the man has a great sense of humor. </p>
<p>And actually, to answer the original question, my question had to do with DA as well…
“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” said Douglas Adams. Explain how this quote applies to your life.</p>
