<p>I’m from Central New Jersey (right outside Trenton in fact), and I’m applying to University of Chicago EA (why else would I post here?). I want to study economics if I go to Chicago. I also just visited a few days ago, which reaffirmed my love of the school. Making good progress on Prompt #4 as of now (#1 is nice, but everybody’s doing that one, so why not be unique?).</p>
<p>Litlhurry: I recognize you from my UChicago forum stalking! Fig newtons for all!</p>
<p>Mwahahaha! <em>Hoards all the fig newtons</em></p>
<p>Nothing to see here…move along <em>Whistles innocently</em> >_></p>
<p>Haha, but in all seriousness, good luck everyone! I hope to see you all next september :3</p>
<p>Howdy! I’m from Little Rock, Arkansas, and I hope to study English and maybe Philosophy at U of C. I’m also really interested in Doc Films and Fire Escape.</p>
<p>QuasiProfound: I know what you mean about the “living the question” prompt. I loved last year’s essay questions and had lots of ideas for tackling them. I don’t feel nearly as inspired by this year’s set.</p>
<p>I might answer “living the question” for the “make-your-own” prompt.</p>
<p>Connor…I shall now woo you with my serenade…tee hee!</p>
<p>“Have I ever told you that you’re my hero?” ~</p>
<p>I’m just playing around 
</p>
<p>But Little Rock…I learned about that in US history class! Haha…Awesome that people are applying from all over. I’m digging the diversity.</p>
<p>Also your interests are awesome :D</p>
<p>mm, after stalking the uncommon blog, they make it pretty apparent that they don’t like it when people answer past years’ prompts. I would advise against it, though I do agree with you that this year’s set is less inspiring. </p>
<p>I heard darren aronofsky visited doc films once, when he previewed one of his movies early there. :squeal:</p>
<p>Yar, Kant is right. I had a good idea for a past prompt, but had to scrap it in favor of something for the recent prompts. Speaking of the ol’ devil…I have to finish writing my essay soon D:</p>
<p>hey guys, I am from washington state (people often confuse it with D.C. when I just say im from ‘washington’) and will be applying Chicago EA. In terms of what i want to study, im thinking maybe economics/applied mathematics? But that is very likely to change…</p>
<p>For essays…ive been spewing out potential essays since about august. I had two drafts for the how did you get caught before throwing them both out with disgust. I am now doing the games prompt, but again, i am on the verge of just throwing it out and starting anew. I tend to be hyper-critical of my writing style…</p>
<p>That is awesome about Darren Aronofsky! I love all of his stuff, except the fountain (it just felt like too much metaphysical garbage for me…) I have heard somethings about Doc Film and i love the sound of it. It seems very Chicagoan in nature.</p>
<p>Not Business specifically. Something business oritented.</p>
<p>EDIT: AS in doing the “core” then going to the booth school starting sophmore year. I was tlaking about it to the advisors when i visited. I tore my mcl so im too high on loritabs to remember the details… but yeah.</p>
<p>Ah only a month left and I still haven’t finished my essays!</p>
<p>Ahhh you guys seem more interesting than the prospectives at any of the other college forums I’ve been looking at. I wonder if that’s just CC UChi or Uchi in general.</p>
<p>Ahhhh!!! One month left and I haven’t even started a decent essay!!!</p>
<p>I think UChicago is just more interesting in general… Thats why we are all applying EA right? </p>
<p>If UChicago had ED, I would do it in a heartbeat.</p>
<p>Yes, I think that is a major reason why I’m applying. All the people on here seem so interesting and off-beat… The kind of people I would love to be around for the next 4 years of my life.</p>
<p>w00t exactly.
I dunno if I would apply ED though… I wouldn’t apply ED anywhere. Because then you have to go without question (which wouldn’t be a problem at Chicago for me). But what if your dad lost his job and couldn’t pay for all of it? Then you’re kinda up a creek with large amounts of student debt instead of a paddle.</p>
<p>As not intelligent as this may sound, I’d go to UofC if I got in no matter what. I don’t care if I’d have to take out the full $220k for the education… </p>
<p>Let’s just cross fingers and hope for a full ride or close to it, though ^_^</p>
<p>Sigh. If only I HAD 220k for the education, but since I’m an international student and I don’t, my chances are lowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I can’t even apply EA. 
Oh well. Maybe the pulse of longing I’m sending across the ocean to UChicago will be intense enough to compel them to offer me acceptance AND a full ride.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>damn straight. I think it applies for all uchicago-serious prospies and students. </p>
<p>let’s proceed to panic about how none of us are prepared to apply in a month and haven’t started/finished our essays: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!</p>
<p>Hahahah true story, Immanuel. One more essay to write. ONE MORE <em>Leonidas voice</em>.</p>
<p>haha I KNOW i have no idea what to do since i have no idea what I will do for my essay!! Can you really do that, just use an essay prompt from the past for this year??! or would they get angry</p>
