And yeah my application for UChicago felt very strong! I wrote my creative essay using the prompt about the mantis shrimp who has 16 color receptors, and the prompt asked me “What does the mantis shrimp see that humans can not? What are we missing?”
I answered the question basically saying that we are missing essentially nothing!!! I will post a link to my youtube video where I read my Mantis Shrimp Essay- it was so fun!!
