Top Law Schools

In the dean's interview on TLS
Fordham on the PS: "Tell us a story! What are you passionate about? Whatever excites you… Write us a poem! Fordham appreciates creativity, but don't be weird."

I thought all/most law schools strongly discouraged anything as "weird/creative" as writing a poem...am I wrong?

EDIT: I'm not planning on writing a poem for Fordham but I was sort of shocked to see that response.

I still wouldn't write them a poem.

Unless you are extremely confident in your poem skills, I would play the safe card and write another dime a dozen PS.

I am applying
Fordham Law School is the best
Oh please let me in

Think that Haiku would get me in?

Love New York City
Your school is really awesome
Hippopotamus

Funny that I'm applying to Fordham
Oh I could get a 175 I said
Resigned to a 165 instead
Does that matter to you
How about my 4.0 GPA
Actually, LSAC says 3.0
Man I cant wait to go to Fordham!

If you happen to write a poem, be sure to let us know how it goes.
