Hi all! I wanted to know that Princeton says to describe my summer but I thought I would do it with a twist. I start by adding this fortune teller's prediction which I prove to be wrong later in a letter. Does that sound right or too dandy?

Dear Virgo!
This summer is going to take a toll on your health. You will be left emaciated and weak. This summer is going to be tough on your academic record. You will not be able to follow you passions and would be forced to do many things against your will. Many of your wishes will not be fulfilled so beware of the summer!

Fortune teller

Dear fortune teller!
After my O levels papers,.... ... ... ....
Yours sincerely,

I think it's very interesting and unique idea!
You should keep it going!
But you should write your reply in more details than the prediction
to show you are answering the question properly.

Good luck!

Its definitely a very distinctive idea. If your going to use this structure make sure you leave enough room to answer the question, which is: what did you do over your last two summers.

Good Luck

Are you sure being creative in this way is the best idea?

Ha ha, I see that this is an inspired idea. In my crystal ball, I see the Admissions reader appreciating this cool approach.

Make sure you don't confuse us, though. State clearly that a fortune teller made a prediction that you are in teh process of proving wrong.
