Would a College Application Reader Know What The Illuminati Are?

[sofmarhof]

My essay talked about the suicide of my father and a sad childhood in an attempt to get the application staff to empathize with me and thus increase my chances of getting accepted due to them feeling sorry or something.

Did it work? When I wrote essays, death & illness were #2 on the list of overdone topics to avoid, right after sports.

As I'm writing my college entrance essays, I'm getting one particular one thoroughly critiqued, because it's also a school project. One person commented in particular that they had no idea what I meant when I mentioned the Illuminati.

But this kid isn't my intended audience, you see. My intended audience is the college application readers. Would a college application reader be up to date on conspiracy theories?

Let me guess?! INFJ!

Yes, they would know what you are talking about, but I highly suggest that you do not do this. Discussing the Illuminati is not a serious intellectual topic appropriate for a college application. Remember, you're trying to impress these people, not give them something to laugh about.

However, if it is well written and thought provoking they may just judge by those criteria rather than topic.

Why is this thread still alive?!

As I said, I already submitted it. it's pointless to discuss now.

Oh, this thread is very much alive. The Illuminati are watching it very closely.

Because some people don't read every post in a thread.

so, the illuminati destroyed my clutch master cylinder friday as part of their master plan to keep me from getting a blowjob from a cute girl. I was thinking about cutting their brake lines, quid pro quo.

I've also diagnosed myself with bronchitis, "coincidences" keep piling up.
