[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you be honest and select mixed, or all that that apply/other? Don't play some kind of game.

Don't be naive....the whole application process is a game.[/quote]

I didn't play any games - honestly. It's a game because you *make* it a game. [b]By now, don't you think that admissions panels can figure out which applications are trying to present a specific, partial glimpse of a picture. And figure which ones are presenting a more genuine and comprehensive picture of an applicant? [/b]Maybe you think they're stupid, and I'm sure that doesn't come across in a fluffy application, not even a little bit.

But hey, you want to play a game? Knock yourself out - just don't be surprised at the results. [/quote]

No, I really don't believe that admissions officers are really this capable of sussing out genuineness among all the hundreds of applications they have to review, despite what they claim.  [/quote]

I think everyone is picking up on the fact that what you present, is just a small slice of a deliberately painted portrait - Facebook, the internet, applications, etc. It's really not that hard to figure out who is presenting a concocted image of perfection and ideal these days. But suit yourself  :) [/quote]
