If you could have dinner with three people who are no longer living, who would you want to eat dinner with and why? Funny – this was MY college application essay question. I picked Jimmy Buffett, Madonna and Albert Einstein. Now, I would pick Tim Russert, Adolf Hitler and Luciano Pavarotti.
If I were a zoo animal, I’d be a…. (tell us why): Elephant – I’d be safe from the poachers, I wouldn’t have to work too hard to get my food, and I’d be the most popular stop at the zoo. Plus, I’d be scared of mice and could eat lots of peanuts, which would be neat.
Best Tip to make the application process easier: Never submit an application to a college that you would never want to enroll in...even if they paid you lots of money to go.
