We asked UChicago students what they wrote their supplemental essays about

[@CollegeVine]

Which was your favorite response? comment below!

My personal favorite is "Sally sells Seashells". Very creative response.

[@julyashyrokaya3149]

lmao the Sally one

[@lolitavinnitskaya6839]

The one with reflections about how we are unsatisfied with the changes - even good ones. Very close to me and very philosophic, i like it 😊 And that student seems to me pretty mature in his mind. Most of other replies have umm surprised me, to put it mildly 😅

Unfortunately, since 94 percent of applicants are turned down, why go? Everyone deserves a chance in life and egalitarianism is a virtue. French revolution...

UChicago! #1 University in the world.

is that a meme? I'm actually not sure

The reading loads were pernicious to me. It's a great school, but Illinois Tech was a better choice. More course freedom for scientists and engineers

CANCEL HER!!! She said women before she said people with vaginas! How intolerant. I am disgusted.

[@mm19286]

Hear that? That is the sound of no one laughing.

[@sempiternalrituals4214]

How funny hahaha😐

Good place to get that degree in gender studies and ebonics.

[@avnibadiwale2459]

They actually have a problem with almost all of their students going into econometrics -> quantitative finance, which is one of the most lucrative degrees :)

Modern education. How sad.

[@camyj769]

it's actually really cool that they force their applicants to become more creative. I think it opens a new way of thinking and creativity that can be applied to everyday situations.

[@plalelal]

@@camyj769 Really cool, lol! Grow up!

[@itchlord4476]

The university's alumni and associated staff have won a combined 97 nobel prizes, I think they might be doing OK.

[@anishyarra3618]

@@plalelal If people weren't creative, we wouldn't have gotten this far, UChicago just wants interesting smart people who can do something with their life.

[@plalelal]

Actually doing something as opposed to simply writing is what counts.@@anishyarra3618

the "Sally sells seashells" answer really got me thinking 🥲😵‍💫 that was so creative.
