Now that the Georgetown deadline has passed, what did you guys do for the Top 10, if you chose that optional?
I did my top 10 favorite words and I wrote a little paragraph before explaining my history of loving different words lol I'm not entirely sure if I was supposed to do that, but they did say we could write up to 250 words...

I wrote "Top ten most effective things I did to destress while preparing for the LSAT". It was casual and showed my non-academic interests as well as a bit of humor. I got in w/o interview and w 135k scholarship although I don't know how much the top 10 list mattered... Although on the admissions letter I received in the mail, the Dean wrote a handwritten note saying he enjoyed my top 10 and wrote a few sentences about something I had touched on. So maybe it does matter!
Just things that made an impact on me, events that I vividly remember. Moments that meant a lot. That sort of thing

I did my Top 10 Life Experiences and I think it really helped my app bc it showed a lot of different sides of me that the app did not show!
If its not personal, what top 10 life experiences did you speak of?

I did my top 10 poems but got waitlisted. Maybe it was too weird! I have wondered about that.
BUMP because I'm starting to think of mine for next cycle :)

I did my top 10 ways to spend a Saturday. It was pretty lighthearted, but also a chance to show my non-academic interests! Easily my favorite optional essay (honorable mention goes to Stanford-music to play while reviewing app)
That's a great list, it really lets the school see another side to you. I loved the Stanford optional essays too - but I wouldn't have made it in so I didn't bother spending the $$ applying :(

i didn't apply to georgetown but I'm really curious about the words you chose. When I was a kid, I actually enjoyed learning new and strange words. Studying SAT vocab was strangely satisfying. Unfortunately, I don't remember many of those words that I memorized in ages past.
