"value over success" -EARLY ACTION - UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO SUPPLEMENT 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 Chicago.

I believe in value over success. Albert Einstein, a man who contributed greatly to the world, once said, " Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value." In response to his philosophy, I want to be able to cherish and value all the things that occur in my life. The University of Chicago will not only help me succeed, but find my purpose in life.

I dream to be a journalist. Although UChicago does not offer a communications major or minor, it has opened my eyes to a different path. The outstanding Political Science and Public Policy majors that UChicago offers and prestigious professors like John Mearsheimer, has satisfied my hunger for an education. UChicago helped me find my true aspiration. I want to speak out for the unspoken. I want the citizens of America to be treated equally, fairly. I want America to be protected from the dirty politics of Washington D.C. After speaking with a couple staff writers of the Maroon, I came to the realization that I don't need a journalism degree to be a journalist. A journalist does not write about journalism. UChicago's community has an aura of welcome, prestige, unity, and value. The diversity of the student body has led me to feel comfortable as a not only a student, but as a human being. When I walked in the quadrangular, I had this boiling energy rise inside of me. It is as if I transformed Maroon. It made believe that I am University of Chicago.

**Tell me what you think**

I dream of becoming a journalist.

Although UChicago does not offer a communications major or minor , it has opened my eyes to a different path.
I think you should reword this sentence to something like; "Although I began my search for the perfect college with a communications major in mind, what I learned about the Univ. of Chicago has set me on a new path." It makes it sound less like you're 'settling' for that school.

The outstanding Political Science and Public Policy majors that UChicago offer , and prestigious professors like John Mearsheimer, have satisfied my requirements for an education.

UChicago helped me find my true aspiration. I want to speak out for the unspoken . I just had to google this, because I didn't think it sounded right...it turns out 'unspoken' is fine here. Thanks for teaching me something new!

A journalist does not write about journalism. Good point!

The diversity of the student body has led me to feel comfortable as a not only a student, but as a human being.

When I walked into the quadrangular, I had this boiling energy rise inside of me.
It made me believe that I am University of Chicago.
