I know a kid who wrote submitted “L-L-L Life of the Mind” lyrics to the tune of Bad to the Bone for his why Chicago essay. It worked for him. But this particular kid enjoyed writing humorous poems and song lyrics, did it a lot, and pulled it off very well



Yeah, unless you have experience in writing and preforming rap, this may not be the best medium in which to test it out. My initial reaction was that this may come off as a cheap, gimmicky attempt to impress an admissions officer, but if you’re confident in your ability, go for it.
