[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not only is it unique but if its a true reflection of what she loves, then she is revealing her authentic self which is the goal in these essays. They want to know something about HER not something she did, this is personal AND interesting. I say go for it!

I have read enough and put three kids through college enough to know what they are looking for in the essays. Something different nearly always is a good idea!

My eldest s who attended an Ivy wrote about how he watched what was perceived to be a 'girls movie" because he connected so much with the story line and how he had to always keep it a secret from his friends. He turned it into a really great essay and one of the officers even emailed him specifically to tell him so. I say keep it![/quote]

I just have to ask: what was the movie?  Was it 'Say Anything', by any chance?  I know DS is slightly obsessed with it but I can't imagine what it would take for him to admit that to strangers, LOL.
