<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I am trying to write my essay for the why U of C question. I have been researching for a while now, but i havn't found any material that feels 'right'! Can you guys plz help me and let me know how the atmosphere of the school is and give me some examples of how somebody could answer the why chicago question? Oh and I want to major in International relations!</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>What they’re asking is: why are you applying?</p>

<p>Do you have any particular reason? Did you hear something from someone? Did you read something? Did you get a particular impression from something?</p>

<p>If you don’t really have one, I suggest you look around on these forums to get a feel for the atmosphere and THEN decide if you want to apply. Good places to start would be <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/420256-chicago-fit.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/420256-chicago-fit.html&lt;/a&gt; and <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/473110-chicago-faq.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/473110-chicago-faq.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>thank you… i really had no idea where to start my research!</p>

<p>There’s a book called “The Chicago School: How the University of Chicago Assembled the Thinkers Who Revolutionized Economics and Business” . If you’re at all interested in Economics or Business, READ IT. It really goes through how the Chicago ethos developed and all the personalities that went into it.</p>

<p>@Rny2, thanks for the recommendation of that book! I am actually very interested in economics and business courses of UChicago!</p>

<p>@kmjlucy0987, perhaps you can go and research on the profile of the professors in international relations and see if anything particularly intrigues you. Then, you can talk about them in the essay! Haha, that’s what i am intending to do:) Gd luck!</p>
