Remember you don’t have to use big words like she did. Colleges and universities value you being your true self. Don’t get caught up in comparing.

A year ago I watched your video trying to learn as much as possible about Uchicago. I’m really happy to say that I’ve now been admitted early action to UChicago’s class of 2026 :)

BROOOO I wrote mine today the extended essay and the why essay compared to everyone else my essay seems so bad, but hey I just wrote what came to mind due to that being how I am. I applied for early decision instead of early action but good luck!! Hopefully we both get in.

These essays and statements of purpose, intent, etc, are a legal tool that universities can use to protect themselves in the event if a lawsuit. "But she BEGGED US to let her matriculation! WE DID NOTHING WRONG!" FYI, from KZbin videos where admissions committee members tell us what they look for, they admit they merely glance at the statement of purpose, that it's not a big deal.

How many words was this, could you elaborate ? I don't want to write too much or too little :(
@EmilyDow Жыл бұрын
As long as it fits on 2 pgs (single-spaced) it should be good!! The recommended word count is less than that though (500 words), so don't feel like you need to add more if it isn't necessary for your essay :)

Hi! I am so sorry for being behind on posting my other essays--I'm hoping to get them out over winter break. However, I included some details and tips about all of the essays I submitted in my "How I got into UChicago" video (timestamps in description). I hope that helps a little bit, and good luck!!

@@EmilyDow Thank you! I have watched both of your videos and they really helped a lot! Your why essay is literally the best out of 30 some I have read. I am actually applying as a transfer student as a first year. Hopefully I can get in, haha. I would really appreciate if there are more videos about your experience at Uchicago coming out soon!
