This is probably way too heavy-handed.

100 words is extremely daunting, but here goes: I really love Emerson. You must get that a lot, but it's true. It's really the only school that I have any interest in. That scares my parents – and me too, because I know my chances with this GPA are close to nil. I've visited a sophomore friend there twice, and stayed in "LB" with him. I've walked the commons at sunset with amazing people – just talking about film, and I've looked through my friend's essay topics, wide-eyed, longing for more than fill-in-the-blank work. I'm in love with the city, and I'd give anything to be there. I know it's hard to overlook that three-digit number on my transcript, but I urge you to believe that for me, that's all it is. A number. I promise you, there's more to me than that.
