<p>Does anyone know who reads applications from NYC? in my application I used some language that mostly young people would find entertaining, so if the person is over 50, then he/she might not necessarily enjoy it that much…Good idea or bad idea?</p>
<p>Here you go, email Ms. Wei and ask her how old she is:</p>

<p>Bad idea.</p>
<p>Oh, entomom, you’re so funny!</p>
<p>lol…it wasnt like the message was inappropriate, it was just that i said, in relationship to a sport that I am very passionate about, “(cause we ain’t losing baby!)”. do you think the language is too “vulgar” for the taste of the admissions office? thanks again</p>
<p>You’re overestimating the sensitivities of Yale staff, jb. Really.</p>
<p>^^ This is one the major reasons why students should always ask an adult – one of your teachers, coaches, or mentors, and as a last resort, your parents – to read your essays before submitting them!!! Sometimes 17-year-old humor does not go over well with 50 year old essay readers.</p>
<p>From your post, it doesn’t sound too vulgar though. But, context is everything.</p>
