I can see that you will develop quite nicely into a full-fledged nerd in the years to come. Your pickup line is hilarious, your love of philosophy sophisticated, your course/future plans ambitious.
One word of advice before the rest of the votes come in -- you complain about grammar and spelling, but you have some annoying sentence fragments in your application. The "In addition." sentence in question 4 kind of bothered me. I don't use factors like this to judge applicants unless they obscure clarity by their improper use of the English language, but some people in this community are really anal so you might want to look out. :)
Only part of your application I was like, "GAAAAA" was when you said you liked Nietzsche the best. I mean, COME ON. He's really negative. Case in point:
Custom represents the experiences of men of earlier times as to what they supposed useful and harmful - but the sense for custom (morality) applies, not to these experiences as such, but to the age, the sanctity, the indiscussability of the custom. And so this feeling is a hindrance to the acquisition of new experiences and the correction of customs: that is to say, morality is a hindrance to the development of new and better customs: it makes stupid.
