oh yeah, i got a great piece of advice from an NYU alumna regarding personal essays. it would be good if you can get 3 types of people to review your essay
1) someone who knows you very well
2) someone who doesn't know you at all
3) someone who is a good writer

i think it's very good advice, the only problem is, finding the good writer to review my essay *hint hint* hahaha.

but probably martian could be both 1) and 3) for you. ;)

good luck on your applications. i'm setting my sights on NYU's MBA program and taking the GMAT at the end of this year. i really, really, really, REALLY want to be in NYC. but i feel quite lost at the moment, because i really don't know if i'm good enough to get in, and if i do get in, i have no idea how i'm going to come up with 70K for the fees which goes back to the question of if i'm good enough to qualify for scholarships. sigh....
but all the best to you!!! somehow, i think you would suit a liberal arts college, why not Mt. Holyoke? it's one of the seven sisters, and you have friends there as well.

haha...your post really stuck a chord with lots of people, including me. i'd say i was a bit of both. i've always thought, i'm the most coolest of the geeky bunch. or the geekiest of the cool bunch.
i was always doodling in class and not paying attention. i hated strict authority and prefects who nitpick you about the length of your nails. like having long fingernails is the end of the world like that. -__-
i guess, i didn't really care about conforming, but then again, i didn't want to get into any serious trouble either, so i was a good girl to a certain extent. :P mostly, cos i didn't want to disappoint my mom.
but i was always acknowledged as being smart, cos i did like getting good grades. i got 1st in the entire form for F1-F3 straight, in a top girl's school. :P straight As for PMR and 9A1s for SPM. and graduated from uni with a 3.98 CGPA.
just be who you have to be to be happy.
