<p>I am!
I noticed all the ED threads and thought that I should start an EA thread for Chicago. Has anyone finished their essays yet? I finished my "Why Chicago?" essay. Still working on Favorite Things and main essays though. I am responding to the Borgia and I prompt. Which one are y'all doing? Anyone ambitious or brave enough to take one the improv comedy prompt?</p>
<p>I'll be applying EA. And I'll be taking on the improv prompt. I've got some great ideas for it, but haven't actually started writing.</p>
<p>I was going to do the Borges y yo, but now I'm doing the picture prompt.</p>
<p>None of my essays are anywhere near complete. Yay...</p>
<p>I'm applying EA too! My essays are nowhere near complete either . . . I think I'm going to do the picture prompt, but I'm still trying to figure out what direction I want to go with it. Good luck to all of you (I know I'll need it), and kudos esentman on doing to improv one - it's insane (in a good way). :-)</p>
<p>I am!! I started my essays, and they too are nowhere near ready. I'm doing the table prompt.</p>
<p>Add me to the list!</p>
<p>But I'm totally freaking about essays! The only one I've started in earnest is the "why Chicago" essay but the way its going, its gonna be like 2 pages! I'm thinking I got some good ideas for the others, but I just can't seem to write them. I'm so freaking nervous about the whole thing. Usually, I love to write and end up with a product I'm very happy with. I'm just so stressed about this whole thing. I want it sooooo baaddddddddddd.....</p>
<p>I think I might do a "warm-up" app to one of my safety schools...</p>
<p>Anybody else doing the essay prompt on Supertramp?</p>
<p>Me too!</p>
<p>I'm doing the improv one as well !
Hopefully, it turns out the way I imagine it will.
I wanted to do the Borges y yo prompt but after thinking it through, I thought I would convey myself as too whiny and self demote myself somehow. </p>
<p>buena suerte!</p>
<p>I'm applying EA. I already wrote my essays. I actually had lots of fun writing the main one, I did the improv one on a whim one night at like 2 in the morning. I think my delirious sleepy state was what made it so easy to write, but I thought it was so fun to write. You shouldn't be nervous, because these sorts of essays are so easy to write well since you can really show yourself in them. I actually have more of a hard time writing about the serious, boring topics that come up on the common app.</p>
<p>I am! Good to know I'm not the only one still working on the essays.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone! I'm sure everyone here wants it badly</p>
<p>I am also a fellow UChicago EAer. :)
As for the essays... I've completed the "Why Chicago?" and "Favorite Things" Essays -- now onto the behemoth "table" essay</p>
<p>good luck to all!</p>
<p>I'm doing EA as well. I've written all my essays, but my long-form essay is in response to a prompt from last year, and I haven't heard back yet from admissions about whether that's okay. Oh, and good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I finished my long one (chose the Borges and I prompt). Haven't started the other two yet sigh...</p>
<p>Anyone using their Chicago essay for the long essay on the Common App? I think I'm going to (under the "choose your own topic" prompt), but I'm not sure how I'm gonna word the topic yet..</p>
<p>i'm having a lot of trouble deciding what to write for the supertramp essay... anybody else doing it??</p>
<p>rofflecopters @ jack4640</p>
<p>ivis I think I'm gonna do the same thing. I'm gonna choose the open ended option on the common app because I don't have time to write another essay.I hope my my Borges y yo essay is tame enough for the commonapp though....</p>
<p>I'm applying EA too. For my essay, I chose "Borges y yo", and I just got through my first revision of it. I had a lot of fun writing it.</p>
<p>Applying EA here also. I chose the "Tell us about your table" prompt and, of course, I'm not even remotely close to being finished. I might change prompts at the last minute 'cause I'm starting to like the improv prompt more and more... Now I must go prepare for my <em>crosses fingers</em> final SAT/ACT... soooo sleeeppyie</p>
<p>memememememememe</p>
<p><em>raises hand</em></p>
<p>although truth me told my essays haven't really been started. it's been like a sentence for each. but yesterday i had a light bulb for the books/movies one, so i'll be off to write that one soon.</p>
