<p>So what did you send in for your one page that expresses you?</p>
<p>I sent in a fake brochure for a fake college that I made up called Sierra State University. It looks like many of the thousands of propaganda pieces that I’ve been sent over the past few years but if you read it, it is extremely funny (Undergraduate Majors include: Defense against the Dark Arts, Muggle Studdies, etc.) It also claims to be the oldest university in America - originally established by the Washoe Indians in 1560.</p>
<p>all i did was send a newspaper article of mine with the title “Quadruple Threat” with a big picture of me high-jumping… i didn’t really know what they wanted</p>
<p>My expression page was a printed purplish-pink swirl background page with an essay written on it concerning why normal, everyday guys are considered odd for wearing pink or purple. I included in it a picture of me on my trip to Tunisia wearing a pink hjab. I actually must say i’m very proud of this.</p>
<p>I put two other essays I had written in the admissions process that I was rather fond of on to one page and decorated the background with crayon.</p>
<p>i wrote an essay about a time I crashed into my car while i was on rollerblades being towed by my friends car at midnight… i guess they liked it!</p>
<p>i wrote a really long rhyming poem about my average day. they seemed like the kind of people who appreciate oddities…not all up-tight or anything like that. so i figured they would appreciate humor. i printed it on green paper to show school spirit. i bet THAT got me in. oh yeah… accepted today, i live in pennsyvania. much luck to all!!!</p>
<p>I made my own parchment paper (using tea water and ground coffee) and wrote it in the style of a prison journal, detailing how high school was locking me in and how william and mary could be my escape</p>
<p>whatever, its cheesy, but it helped get me in, apparantly, and form out of state</p>
<p>Yeah, looking back at that post I did come across as rather harsh. I was grumpy at the time; I’m growing weary of waiting to find out where I get in. Just to make sure we’re on the same page, I was referring to the prompt as being “stupid,” and not the haiku, which I personally thought was clever. I apologize if I inadvertently offended anyone; I won’t be so vague in the future. “Stupid” wasn’t the right word to use either; I guess I just feel like the required essay should have been suitable enough to gauge the type of person I am. Anyways, I found out today I was rejected- kind of demoralizing, but I wasn’t extremely upset. I probably wouldn’t have gone to W&M if I had been accepted, so in a way, I’m kind of happy that someone else who may have dreamed of going there (and probably put a great deal of effort into their expression page) now has my place. Who knows if doing the optional essay would have made a difference, but I kind of doubt it. I’m just hoping for Notre Dame at this point. Good luck to everyone else in making their decisions!</p>
