In four years of attending and intensely loving this school, I've gotten a pretty good idea of the typical UofC student profile. And man, if there was ever somebody who needed to go to this school, it is you. You are so intensely passionate about your activities - even if there are a lot of them, you are thoroughly invested in each one and are still excitedly adding on more. I know *so many* people like this, and they are my absolute favorite thing about the school, and the reason I came here (instead of Harvard!). A woman of science, I'm generally pretty hesitant to make statements with 100% certainty, but in this case I am emphatic: you will *love* this place, your entire time here and afterwards. You will love the classes. You will love the traditions. You will love the weather. But most importantly, you will love the people. This will be such an intensely wonderful place for you to exist, and while I do not have any sort of hand in admissions (although a few of my friends, post-graduation, have become employed there), I really think that if you do not get in then they're doing it wrong, and doing it differently than they were a few short years ago. Write your essays with that same intensity of passion you've conveyed here, and I think that they should take you in a heartbeat.
