How would you answer those types of questions? Most of these essay limits are 200-300 words so what would you include? If I didn't want to go there it is obvious that I wouldn't have applied to that university.
In such as a way as to show I know about the university, of course. So ask yourself, why did I apply to that university instead of any of the others? If the answer is, "because it is close to where I live and I think I can get in," ask yourself why someone else might have applied there, even if they lived far away and had plenty of options.
How does the University of Chicago.. how to approach this essay?
How does the University of Chicago, as you know it now, satisfy your desire for a particular kind of learning, community, and future? Please address with some specificity your own wishes and how they relate to UChicago.
Hey guys ! I'm having such a hard time writing an essay for this topic and I was wondering how bout an essay that sort of outlines a typical day if I was accepted into UChicago?
I'll post my essay in about an hour from this post. Just wondering what you guys think of this essay... Thanks!
Sounds like something I've read before, but obviously yours would be unique to you, and it seems like it would answer the prompt just fine. Best of luck!
That's a good way to approach this essay :) Just make sure you have detailed content.
Because UChicago is a rigorously academic environment, you might want to talk about specific research or program you want to study.
This is what I have so far! Be harsh please!
Vrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Vrrrrrrrrrrrr. It's 5:30 AM. I'd fallen asleep again reading my latest philosophy book, The Art of Power by Thich Nhat Hanh. In one smooth motion, I turn the alarm off on my phone, wake up Alex, my roommate and best friend, and we leave Max P. for our daily workout at Ratner. We sprint the fifth of the mile to Ratner as a short warm up. We both groan because it's leg day. Clang. We managed to finish in an hour and a half; however, we could barely move our legs to get back to Max P. We looked forward to back and arms tomorrow. I let Alex shower first since he has class earlier than me and then we part ways, agreeing to meet up in the lobby of Max P. later to play soccer with other residents
In the shower, I begin my daily meditation. As the water starts flowing, so do the various facets and formulas of organic chemistry, calculus, physics, and biology. I ponder the kinetic, thermodynamic, and mechanistic viewpoints of the reactions of organic molecules and the different methods of how they are identified. I shudder at the thought of molecular geometry, but regain my flow with chemical equilibria and thermochemistry. Nightmares arrive when I think about the method of determining volume of a revolving cylinder. My thoughts are at ease when I calculate the angular momentum and torque given only a few details. Biology flows easier; Krebs' Cycle and the ATP Synthesis come naturally. DNA regulation and other processes require reading up on, but it isn't bad.
