Yes. I've also jumped on tables and recited poetry.

I couldn't honestly tell you, since I don't think my brain filtered them like that. I will say that the essays tended to be EXTREMELY topical centered around what students generally were learning at that point in the year in English and history.

For example, in the December admission, I'd say 20-25% of the essays would revolve around the Civil War/Adventures of Huck Finn/Frederick Douglas (you get the idea.) February was 20-25% The Great Gatsby/Roaring 20s, March would be the Great Depression/Grapes of Wrath, etc. Those were the ones that stuck out the most to me, anyway.

Excellent point. I don't have any students today (teacher work day) but I'm doing this AMA while also trying to grade. I'm not getting as much grading done as I should be, but I'm rationalizing it by telling myself that I'm helping other students. :-)
