<p>So, I've decided to start on the essays that I know I will answer next year, starting with those for...yep, UChicago.
I've finished my Why Chicago, and my probable Common App essay(depending on the prompts of course, but they're usually similar each year, so I figured, what the heck!), and I was wondering if anyone would mind reading it?
That's, of course, not to say that I don't plan on doing a lot more editing, I just want to get a feel for writing the essays, lol. And I figure, the sooner I get some things done for it...the less stress next year will be! (Hopefully no last minute essays for me, lol)
Help from UChicago acceptees would be especially appreciated (cough, cough, wink wink) :D
Plus, I like to contribute all I can to other people's cases of senioritis; I'm a good influence!</p>
<p>remember they will probably change the essay questions for next year… i would wait until the summer when they are released. That would give you more than enough time. But if you want to start now, do the common app essay as that is really the most important/time consuming.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know, the only ones I’ve done are the ones that usually show up.(i.e, the common app one I wrote was on a person who influenced me, but is also applicable to other common essay questions, lol)
And I went ahead and did the why chicago because that’s every year, and I already know a lotttt of why I like chicago. haha</p>
<p>ok I’ll read it; pm it over. (accepted RD, class of 2014)</p>
<p>I’ll read them too. Accepted RD.</p>
<p>I’d read it, I was accepted EA for 2014</p>
<p>Just to put in my unasked-for two cents - editing from CC isn’t really helpful. I sent a few of my essays around and, while the advice wasn’t necessarily bad, I ended up using almost none of it. In the end, my essays were only read by my parents, and one teacher (he read one essay). And I did well enough to get into Chicago this year (RD, too.) </p>
<p>I think people who have some idea of who you really are are better qualified to do this sort of thing, and it’s certainly safer than sending your essay to complete strangers. 'Course, most of the people here are probably fine folks, but I think the risks outweigh the rewards.</p>
