UChicago EA Applicants 2019

<p>I did the untranslatable word essay :slight_smile: It was def one of my best! I had so mych fun writing it</p>

<p>Own prompt. But I think I screwed myself by doing so</p>

<p>@DavidTaleb‌ what did you talk about?</p>

<p>I wrote the untranslatable words essay. I wrote about the over 59 words the inuits have for snow. I really loved the topic.</p>

<p>@naaattt Haha. I made a pretty tough question which I dont think I answered well. </p>

<p>What is one important truth that few people agree with you upon?</p>

<p>How about you?</p>

<p>i answered the “why are you here and not somewhere else?” question</p>

<p>@DavidTaleb I asked “where are you going?” which is pretty simple but I made it metaphorical and stuff idk haha</p>

<p>I did the untranslatable word prompt. It seems like so many people poses their own questions. </p>

<p>@Esat936‌ I think there’s a difference between being passionate about something and taking yourself too seriously. Either way, I think if we could all just stop being worried about it we would. </p>

<p>I chose the pH essay, talked about different bases/how they resembled different parts of my personality</p>

<p>I chose the numbers essay, then told a story about a village full of numbers and scapegoating. I’m hoping UChicago will appreciate the creativity because I’m not sure I answered the question</p>

<p>just wanna know now</p>

<p>I said it before, but I made my own prompt and basically personified Time, discussed his history, and how the human race has ostracized him. I really like it</p>

<p>@Localdreamer15‌ of course, it was really good :^)</p>

<p>I talked about like 5 or 6 untranslatable words that I like. Looking back on it, I don’t really like it because I have gotten a lot better at essay writing, or maybe it’s because I’ve read it so much I just dont like it anymore. </p>

<p>I’m afraid to go reread mine, and it doesn’t matter by now. What happens happens I suppose.</p>

<p>I only talked about one word and speculated it into several paragraphs…the name of my country</p>

<p>@naaattt‌ Yeah me too. I exchanged essays with a few people, but I was really careful to avoid rereading them. I’d be so disappointed if I found a typo or just realized that they’re awful. </p>

<p>This is such a stressful day…i find out about Georgetown in 3 hours…my fantasy is that i get into Georgetown and then turn it down for uChicago! A girl can have dreams…right? </p>

<p>@ogacihcu‌ I think that is the best thing to do, no point in stressing, but I reread for the first time last week and thought it was decent, nothing incredible. </p>
