sounding desperate/suicidal on PS

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
"I don't know what'll do if i get rejected by D-school" This was actually a question that came up in one of my interviews. I would be willing to bet they wouldn't like me if I answered "I dunno what I would do...". I wouldn't put either of these. Like 2THDDS said, try another approach (i.e. passionate, dedicated, etc) not desperate.
 
Actions > words. What have you done to show your desire and commitment? Talk about that.
 
Do not write that! You would be considered a risk to them. Just say that you are really passionate about this career and that you cannot see yourself doing another occupation.
 
try to ask an english professor i think it might hurt
 
It may not hurt, but don't be surprised if a couple of guys/gals (aka chicks) show up at your doorstep with one size fits all straightjacket.

OP, I personally think it sounds too informal. It's something you could tell a friend, not adcom. Best of luck!
 
The title of this thread makes me laugh every time I see it on the board.
