Common App was pretty solid.
UChicago main supplement - spent a lot of time, intellectual and sorta abstract thinking, interesting tangent of living/dreaming prompt.
Optional - adds to my personality, sincere.
Why Chicago - okay.</p>
<p>Oh come on. What’s the point?</p>
<p>Piano for ten years? Hmm. The last person to get accepted from my school was literally born playing piano. What chance do you think you have with that dedication?</p>
<p>I havent done anything in piano, no competitions, nothing, I just play. I didnt send a supplement or anything… Just a side activity. Can someone chance? I seriously have no idea… My sat/act scores are waaaay below.</p>

<p>“Can someone chance? I seriously have no idea.”</p>
<p>Neither do any of us, and if you applied EA, you only have a couple more days to wait anyway.</p>
<p>once again, agreed w/ oxaliswombo… There isn’t a point in “chancing” someone now, considering decisions are coming in the next week… We will only keep you in a state of placidity or disappointment for the next 5 days…</p>
<p>I wish that CC offered a way for you to “Like” posts. For instance, I liked that one from davismiles saying anyone who doesn’t play piano from birth is a slacker.</p>
