I’ve attached PDF’s of the essays I used in my application to the University of Chicago. I didn’t get in, so I don’t know how appropriate they were, but feel free to read them for ideas.
Question 1 (Required):
How does the University of Chicago, as you know it now, satisfy your desire for a particular kind of learning, community, and future? Please address with some specificity your own wishes and how they relate to UChicago.
Question 2 (Optional):
Share with us a few of your favorite books, poems, authors, films, plays, pieces of music, musicians, performers, paintings, artists, blogs, magazines, or newspapers. Feel free to touch on one, some, or all of the categories listed, or add a category of your own.
Creative Essay:
So where is Waldo, really?
