@admitium: Overstatement suggests you're untrustworthy. Understatement suggests you're authentic. And when you're authentic, you're more likable, credible, and persuasive. So, try to avoid overstatement. Especially when you're advocating--like in your college apps. Don't call Stanford your "dream school" that's a "perfect" match and you've been "dying to go" ever since ... You sound like everyone else and you don't sound credible because you're talking in overstatement. Aim for understatement. And argue with evidence, not conclusions.
