<p>I don’t think you have anything to worry about. The essay is supposed to be approached in a creative way, and I know that the adcoms read many “tongue-in-cheek” responses. If you are really concerned, you may want to email the Admissions counselor for your state (find here: <a href=“http://apply.jhu.edu/contact/staff.html[/url]”>http://apply.jhu.edu/contact/staff.html</a>) and just provide them the context of your essay. I don’t think it is necessary, but that may be the only way you can relax about it.</p>
