Its utterance conveys a sort of revelation, a single moment where a problem and its solution become, all at once, perfectly clear, where nothing stands between person and perception. The experience this word represents is proclaimed by many to be the driving force behind great minds and great ideas. However, I can’t say that I’ve ever known such an experience. There has never been a single moment...Write a note to your future roommate that reveals something about you or that will help your roommate — and us — know you better.Supplemental Essay: Unique question posed by school252 Words
“Are you a virgin?” A middle-aged man, dressed only in a tight golden speedo, looked at me intensely and awaited my reply. It was midnight on Halloween in a small historic theater on Main Street, and I had no idea what was going on. Just then, the movie started, and a gigantic pair of plump, red lips appeared onscreen. Over the next two hours, I witnessed people singing nonsensical tunes about Flash Gordon in silver underwear fighting androids, men dressed...Stanford students possess an intellectual vitality.

As he spoke, I imagined his words transforming themselves into physical shapes before me. With each additional syllable, another fragment appeared, latching onto the previous one to form an ever-lengthening strand of blocks in front of him. This is, at least, was what was going on in my mind as Émile, the leader of the local university’s French group, informed me of this week’s conversation topic. “C’est la politique, cette semaine.” Politics, he said. But I couldn...How does the University of Chicago, as you know it now, satisfy your desire for a particular kind of learning, community, and future?

To the unsuspecting observer, it seems rather unassuming, with its plain red door labeled “Ms. Jefferson, Room 309” and cream plastered, still undecorated outside wall. But inside this small, cramped room, something incredible takes place. When I walk in the room, my heart starts racing. I sit down at the circle of tables in the center and wait for the other students to arrive. I have spent the last...Name your favorite books, authors, films, and/or artists.Supplemental Essay: Unique question posed by school193 Words

Name your favorite books, authors, films, and/or artists. The movie Fight Club, because it blew my mind.

General Admissions Advice

I definitely had this "FOMO" (fear of missing out) mentality when approaching college admissions that caused me to apply to far too many reach schools that wouldn't actually have been a good fit for me (case in point: Dartmouth and Harvard). The whole experience was made so much...How to increase chances at my school166 WordsDon't be boring. Specifically, spice up your essays and make them fun, interesting, and truly yourself.

To truly write a good, non-boring...List of schools I interviewed with and my interview experience418 WordsHere is a list of my college interviews and my comments on them: Carleton College -- This was my first interview, and I think it went really well! It was very relaxed and took place at a nearby coffee shop. We basically just chatted about my interviewer's experience at Carleton and why I was interested in going there. I felt bad that I never ended up submitting my application to Carleton after getting into UChicago Early Action, but... oh well. MIT -- This interview was... okay.
