<p>This should be good.</p>
<p>a booger......</p>
<p>^agreed...</p>
<p>A $5 bill and a note saying, "Just to make sure you admit me!!3"</p>
<p>Write Northwestern instead of University of Chicago in all your essays? I dunno...</p>
<p>Haha, mike, I see you everywhere! But anyways, you could fill out the Common Application on paper, write "UN" in front of everywhere it says "Common", and submit that.</p>
<p>You could talk about how your Illinois state residency will give you a lower cost at an Ivy League institution because it is a state school.</p>
<p>"I love working things into practical applications; finally, theory has some use."</p>
<p>That's the worst thing you could write in a Chicago app.</p>

<p>Haha, so true, so true. "You know, I'm not really into this whole learning thing... I just want to make some money."</p>
<p>Haha hilarious thread :)</p>
<p>"And that's why Harvard is the perfect school for me."</p>
<p>"I've wanted to be an engineer for as long as I can remember."</p>
<p>ooohh!! the money one is excellent! two thumbs up to dally!</p>
<p>"I mean I just love Indiana!!"</p>
<p>In an essay:</p>
<p>"My hero is John Maynard Keynes, for he defiantly stood up to the ultraconservative business hacks at the Chicago School of Economics...Keynes and his Harvard buddies bravely proclaimed that the government indeed can run an ecomony more efficiently than the people of its composition, defeating, contrary to popular belief, Milton Friedman and Co., who in my humble opinion deserved to die. If there is anyone who did <em>not</em> deserve a Nobel Prize, it was Friedman."</p>
<p>Dear Chicago,</p>
<p>I just love your unabashed elitism. The unparalleled level of social and athletic vigor that pervades the institution continually astounds me; in fact, I think that, if not careful, I'll die of fun-ness in a matter of days. My blood just runs Crimson. Also, did I mention quirkiness in any form completely repulses me? In any case I'm glad you don't have that.</p>
<p>Most sincerely yours,</p>
<p>I actually made this mistake; On the very very basic form of the online app, I filled out my first name and last name in the blanks, then put "N/A" in the prefered name blank because I don't have a nickname. Now whenever Chicago emails me, the messages open, "Dear N/A..."<br>
The sad thing is, N/A stands for "Not Applicable." Cursed? I hope not, but December 15th is still three weeks away!</p>
<p>"I even loved the musical Chicago..."</p>
