how to answer harvard supplemental essays (part 1)

How do you hope to use your Harvard education in the future?

"Obviously, to look down on other people and tell them I'm going to Harvard. What other use is there of going to Harvard then to establish my dominance in society? I mean, Elle Woods was let in on the basis of her wanting to get back with her ex, so I'd say this is a pretty fair reason.

Briefly describe any of your extracurricular activities, employment experience, travel, or family responsibilities that have shaped who you are. (10-150 words)

I would have to say my most important extracurricular, by far, is the Among Us Club. Now, while this may not be on par with "speech and debate" or "science plmpiad" I would argue that Among Us is truly more important to the development of an individual, and especially, me.

In Among Us we need to do our own individual tasks to contribute to the great or good of the ship, much like we do in real life. Through this collaboration, I have also learned how to be strategic in taking part in my individual efforts while also helping my community achieve their dreams as well, in the most efficient way possible.

future note to roommate:

"HI roomie! I'm so excited to get to meet you! Apparently you need to know three things about me, so im gonna narrow it down to what you need to know for us to get along.

First of all, I'm using both beds. Sorry, but I grew up as a princess with a king sized bed so I'm not sharing. I'm sure you'll be fine on the floor though.

I'm also delusional. At the age of three my doctor told my mother that I "lived in [my] own world." If you see me walking around in the middle of the night, or running around and jumping into things for no reason, it's because I'm actually unconsciously acting out the scenarios in my mind.

Finally, everything in our dorm room must be pink or black. Not pink and black, but pink or black. We are either both barbie girls or vicious goths and there is no in between.

Can't wait to see you on campus in the fall!"
