Underwhelmed
Feb. 1st, 2007 03:18 pmNow that I'm not applying to Amherst, there's less of a time constraint on the submission of the Common Application, so I'd still very much appreciate input on that essay.
One thing I'm particularly concerned about:
"My time here has been wonderful, but I feel underwhelmed by the challenges presented to me in my classes and prepared to handle the next step in my academic journey."
According to the OED (thanks,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
misterajc), "underwhelmed" is in fact a word, but is listed as "jocular" and would not be suitable in a formal essay. Maybe I'm just suffering from a brain fart, but I can't think of a comparable term that would flow with this sentence. So:
[Poll #918746]
