If you could “uninvent” one thing, what would it be? 3. Tell us about a moment in your life that you regret. 4. Describe your perfect day. 5. Share a top ten list with us.

@InsipidLemon: really depends on how much they like you. Some schools will give it to you unsolicited, others you must ask.

i have a question about my personal statement. in my activism for the hospitality workers' union, i organized and spoke up in favor of stronger regulations on airbnb because the unregulated spread of airbnb throughout LA was inflating housing costs for workers and threatening their job security. do you think it's too divisive to mention regulating airbnb? idk
