Hmm, darling, I really want to see your sport-stacking...I almost forgot about that talent of yours...I might just stick it in our song somewhere! ; )
Also, I kind of forget what each of my essays were about, if that says anything about how much I devoted to each one. I definitely didn't spend a long time (like, weeks and weeks) on any one essay. The common app essay I chose was the one about a life experience which has changed me and the things I do, etc. I wrote about the back surgery that I had summer before 7th grade and how it made me a stronger person while at the same time nudging me into theatre.
For the specific Northwestern (where I'll be attending) essays, I said that I would like Ariel from The Little Mermaid to be my roommate, that I'd like jazz shoes, a protractor, and some other things which I can't remember to surround me in a painting, and that the campus was gorgeous and the academics rigorous. Those were three different "essays"...I didn't somehow combine those all into one cohesive essay.
At any rate, as I said, I got into Northwestern. So I did something right.
OH! When I wrote my essay for my BFA Musical Theatre audition at University of Miami, I apparently caught the theatre director's attention, for at the audition at the Chicago Unifieds, he talked about the exercise I mentioned and said he might even consider using it in a class setting. The essay prompt was to write about an artistic experience. I tied this theatre exercise into something like "the art of human connection" or some other somewhat ridiculous name. I got into UMiami's BFA program, and I think it was partially (or largely) because of that.
Right, so I don't think I made much sense with a lot of that...but MAYBE!
