recs- I'm outspoken- some teachers really like me, some teachers really don't. Needless to say, I picked ones who liked me. Counselor was a former baseball coach, only one I read, and he put in a good word for me.

<p>since the deadline has passed already anybody wants to post his/her essays?wanna see the pro essays written by future u of chicago students:)</p>
<p>rob- They do indeed actaully want me to (in other words, recruiting and the whole nine yards). Talking to the coach two nights ago, and he mentioned my likely letter would soon be in the mail. As I understand it, this is as good as an acceptance letter, so you can count me in as part of this Class of '10 thing. A big part of me going to Chicago is indeed to play football ( that sounds kinda weird huh?). Go Maroons.</p>
