<p>I wrote one truthfully and gave reasons why I wanted to attend (i.e. core classes and strength of social science department) but the essay just seems really generic. Chicago seems to emphasize creativity considering the topic of choices for the main essay but are they looking for creativity for this essay as well?</p>
<p>I would say you would want to add some creative depth to the essay, just to make sure they don’t feel asleep while reading it.</p>
<p>You can still get the job done and talk about what you want to talk about…just do it in a different way.</p>
<p>I wrote that one in a technical-like fashion. If you were to walk into an interview and they were to ask you why you wanted to go Chicago, you wouldn’t get all poetic about it. You have four other essays to be as creative and ingenious as you want. Tell them flat out why you want to go there. </p>
<p>That’s what I did…at least</p>
<p>motion are you a '14er? I also like the second half of your username =)</p>
<p>I want to get into University of Chicago. i have all A’s and nice test scores, but i don’t do any EC’s. Will that hury me. FYI I’m a nerd with no life</p>
<p>ok thanks guys. I just redid it and am really satisfied with the outcome/</p>
<p>Yes I am a '14er…and yes the end of our usernames is epic :)</p>
