Mention unicycling on college applications?

I think posting it might give you something interesting to talk about
that you know very well, and will build your confidence in the
interview........ However.......

you might not want to put this forum on the application. Then they will
find out we are all NUTZ!

Unicycling is one of the main focuses of my college application. I'll
let you know in a couple months how that works out for me. I imagine
that like obie said, something that stands out and makes your
application more interesting to read can only help.

Thats my personal statement essay about unicycling, if anybody is
interested.

I've had unicycling on my resume for a couple of years now. I'd say
that it comes up in interviews about 50% of the time. So far the
reaction has always been positive.

As for including it on a college application, I'd go for it. I can't
remember if I included it on mine because I wasn't really into it back
then. If I were to apply today I would definitely include it.

Grantopher,
A lot of colleges actually look at unique talents and hobbies when
considering admission, so defiently put down unicycling, juggling, and
Rubik's Cube.

When i applied for college, i put unicycling on my list of activites and
put down that i was the national pairs unicycling champion for my list
of accomplishments and what not. I got accepted a few years agoand when
we went to a freshmen first day rally thing, the president of the school
was telling us about how we have a great variety of people in our
freshmen class. He started saying how many people out of the entire
group were on the honor roll in high school and other stuff like that.
Then he said "and we have a national pairs unicycling champion here
too!" he said "i don't get it though, isn't only one person supposed to
be on a unicycle? do they fit two people on it for pairs unicycling?"

well, that's my story. i think you should definately put it on your
application, i don't see any reason not to.
