Personal Statement627 WordsCreative personal story, Family background, Issue of personal significance, Overcoming personal struggle, Story central to identityAfter days of travel, a group of sailors spot an island on the horizon, but something is wrong: their charts say no island should be there. Coming closer, they realize the island is composed of massive buildings, larger than any they had seen before, shaped in a way that can only be called non-Euclidean, defying convexity and concavity. Exploring the island, the sailors make a horrifying discovery, a monster larger than any animal, human-like but also non-human, its face covered...Read more...Supplemental Essay: Unique question posed by school529 WordsLittle pigs, french hens, a family of bears. Blind mice, musketeers, the Fates. Parts of an atom, laws of thought, a guideline for composition. Omne trium perfectum? Create your own group of threes, and describe why and how they fit together. A superstitious sports fan, a disillusioned cook, and a Greek king. Omne trium perfectum? Not exactly… It is the 7th inning and my Cleveland Indians have runners on first and second. At home, my brother and I are trying...Read more...Supplemental Essay: “Why us” school essay579 WordsIn this essay, please reflect on something you would like us to know about you that we might not learn from the rest of your application.

While NU did not come out on top, watching this debate sparked my interest in the...Read more...Supplemental Essay: “Why us” school essay631 WordsHow 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. “Can you give me an example of when that actually happened?” an opposing debater asks during cross-examination. “Of course. During the Reagan Administration…” And I go on to explain diversity drop-off during midterm elections. In the same tournament, I would debate topics ranging...Read more...Supplemental Essay: “Why us” school essay300 WordsColumbia’s acclaimed focus on interdisciplinary education is what I find most appealing about the university. From my school’s IB Program, I have experience with classes that emphasize crossing intellectual boundaries, and I have loved every second of it. IB even offers a class, Theory of Knowledge, dedicated to analyzing the interaction of different areas of knowledge. I am a passionate student of philosophy, especially postmodernism, but I also love studying economics. An avid history buff with a focus...Read more...School Specific Advice
