I also ran with all of the advice I'd heard about painting yourself as well-rounded and quirky as possible. Asked my intended major, I wrote a passionate paragraph about my desire to study classics.

...glossy black-and-white prints she has pulled out of her well-worn leather portfolio are spread across the dark wood of the kitchen table. These are the photos she took last year for her Visual and Environmental Studies 40a project, which she modestly entitled Woman.
