[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone is always quick to comment on the high stats, but I don't hear a lot about the essays. Chicago has a lot of supplemental essays and I do think they put more weight in these responses than other schools because they really do want a particular type of kid. DD got a handwritten letter from the admissions officer commenting on how much he enjoyed reading her essays. When we met that officer at the admitted student's event several months later, he referenced something she'd said in the essay. Yes, she had great stats, recommendations, rigor, etc, but I do think those essays played a big role in her acceptance. [/quote] What a stupid admission standard.[/quote] I disagree with you 1,000%. Original thinking beats the heck out of contrived "passions" and fake non-profits, in my book. YMMV.[/quote]
