<p>i wrote one, but i dont think i like it.
and now i feel pretty stumped.
can anybody help me?
i know chicago is really into the quirky and unique people
but idk how i could make "why chicago" quirky.
it doesnt help that i live far from the city so i cant visit or anything
pleaseeeeeeeee help!</p>
<p>You don’t have to make your Why Chicago quirky. Mine was about as straightforward as they went, and I haven’t been to Chicago in upwards of a decade, and I never visited, and I never had an interview, and I got in EA. The best way to go with “why this school” essays, I think, is just to be honest.</p>
<p>There are plenty of students at Chicago whom I wouldn’t call quirky at all. My Why Chicago was very direct, and it wasn’t a problem. Just use your essay to show who you are.</p>
<p>My son had never visited either. He talked about things you can tell from the website, or google earth. (And also t-shirts we own that were given to us by U of C grads.)</p>
<p>okay, yeah it turned out pretty straight forward. thanks guys!</p>
