Jon:


In fact I did. I did quit the college with full scholarship and went to the Culinary Art school in Tokyo with my own expense (it costed almost the same as Harvard). Unfortunately a back injury prevented me from becoming Red Iron Chef so I have to change my life course again. What point you suggest to make in my life store to impress Adcom?


thanks

Wow, now THAT is a cool story.  Lets stick with it—lets say that your career dream is to do something that is RELATED to food.  So cool!  That would be SUCH a unique story—you should tell it for sure.  Something about your future goal that ties in your interesting past!

I admire you for pursuing fearlessly your dream.
Why not present your true passion if you are really into it?

Danny, you sure can.  One question though—does it have anything to do with your career goals?  If not, one would ask the obvious follow up question: if you are so passionate about cooking, why not go to cooking school?  If you are more passionate about cooking than, say, business, then we may have a problem.  You could fix this with some clever essays of course, but lets be careful here.  Do what you LOVE!  And if you love cooking, and if you write about loving cooking, then how does business fit in…
