<p>I'm having a little difficulty figuring out which tense to use for this essay. The first time I wrote it in future tense (ie: curriculum WILL allow me). But when I was looking over it I realized I should probably make it conditional. (curriculum WOULD..) When I switched the essay over to conditional tense it didn't come off as strong. However, I don't want to come off as though I am certain I will be admitted to U Chicago, but I definitely want to express confidence/ desire. What tense should I use?</p>

<p>I think the future tense is good.</p>
<p>I used future tense, and talked about the school in the present tense too. “I know that UChicago would provide me with…” “UChicago is a…”</p>
