<p>Most of the threads here now are by people who have already been accepted to the UC or to other colleges... is there anyone here who is applying next year?</p>
<p>We can get to know each other. =D</p>
<p>17/F/Cleveland OH</p>
<p>Rockin' out at home building a self-propelled car out of a mousetrap. =P</p>
<p>I want to go the the University of Chicago for the life of the mind. I was hooked by the first page of their viewbook, which told me the life of the mind is... "sexy... criminally underrated... a sequence converging to 0... ineluctable hierophany..."</p>
<p>I grabbed a dictionary, and I loved every moment. </p>
<p>Hey Noctua, spending time here on CC instead of studying your stats and history I see ;) </p>
<p>I don't know if I'll be applying, but the essay prompts look like so much fun that I might not be able to resist! (Did you see the prompt from a few years ago that had something to do with a bottle of mustard..?) </p>
<p>i'm applying next year, if i don't get in i'll do grad school at u of c, (if i get in then) i'm hardcore science nerd, but a journalism freak, my school paper just won state, and i am so excited to write the essays!!
i'm doing summer session at u of c as well.. ANY SUMMER SESSION PEOPLE POST YOUR xango, myspace, email..etc</p>
<p>Unless I absolutely hate the place when I visit it this coming week, I'll be applying... 17/F/(C)NY</p>
<p>What summer session are you doing? (I'm applying this coming week for one of the writing Insights-- hopefully there are still spots open. Figures TASP results don't come out until almost every deadline has either passed or is about to...)</p>
<p>We should organize a "J-State" summer event - college app brainstorming session or something... 24 hours of non-stop idea toss, etc. And yes, the mustard is an old favorite. We could look at old essay prompts, peer edit, and eat Thai food. </p>
<p>I would love to do a summer session (especially the Egyptian Language/Lit!) but it took me three years of summer work to save for my trip to Germany... I can't afford it. =(</p>
<p>haha noctua I'M EGYPTIAN! and i travel there every summer to see my family... i'm taking intensive language study in 3rd yr arabic, only taking quarter 1 but i'm so excited.. i'm commuting to u of c though :(</p>
<p>lol, next yr my high school is going to offer MANDARIN! which is lame/cool
i'm fluent in arabic, it's kind of my native language, i guess i learned it and english at the same time. my school now offers, spanish, french, german, latin and next yr mandarin</p>
