Take me to the Rivers
Rivers Cuomo's 'Personal Statement' for Harvard:
I gave away or sold most of my possessions, my house, and my car and lived in an empty apartment next to Rick Rubin’s house for the rest of the year.

I don't know how I feel about post-Pinkerton Rivers (it must've been tough to remain his friend during his business mogul phase), but it's a really interesting personal statement. It helps when you can mention your album that sold 2 million copies.
I must point out though that the typical 'personal statement' -- usually detailing adversity/challenge, goals, epiphany -- are all considered within the cult of the Romantic, the personal growth narrative of Romanticism. Wow, I'm a huge loser.
Not as big as Rivers!
