10. INTERSTELLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! FUCK YEAH, I LOVE THAT MOVIE. ;____; it's got SUCH a good story for something that doesn't even have dialogue and gah, immense love.

13. I honestly think that depends on where you're applying. Some schools would take that kind of thing better than others. It's always a gamble writing about something truly unique, ESPECIALLY something like fandom, because you could very well hit on some bias or prejudice of an admissions official who will automatically make assumptions about you. =/ but sometimes it really, really pays off - a unique essay can be a saving grace of an application. Why not try writing out an essay based on fandom? Show it to your teachers and your college guidance counselor, if you have one. if they like it, give it a shot! and good luck~ ♥

19. You're retarded. You've never been inspired by anything, ever?

... I can't tell if you're attempting a parody, or you're referencing someone/something OTHER than Van Gogh and you just chose that picture for some other reason. That, or you are just plain Doin' It Wrong.

also, someone else said this sounds like a personal attack and I agree. =/

Yeah, and I tend to fandom anime too, so it's like geekdom x2. I don't think I need much saving grace. ^^;; I mean, my grades are decent and so are my SAT scores... With Ivy League, it's pretty much showing them why you're unique and should be there instead of the other 5000 people who applied. So even if it makes me unique, I'm not sure I'd risk taking that kind of chance.

You're talking to someone who attends the University of Pennsylvania, just so you know~ 8D; I know exactly what it takes to get into Ivy League. I'm here, after all.

And it is a HUGE risk. But I'm just saying, if you've got the time (which you very well might not, which would be understandable) try writing up a fandom essay anyway! if it's something your teachers, parents, counselor, and YOU like, it could be worth it to send it in. but if not, go the traditional route. you never know!
