<p>I’ll be applying EA.</p>
<p>Someone said their favorite film is “A Beautiful Mind”, and here we are, eager for our responses from U of C. That reminds me of a story. In the early stages of his schizophrenia, John Nash was offered a job from the University of Chicago. He turned it down, in a letter saying that he was expecting a better job as Emporer of Antartica. Yes, sad, but an interesting bit of lore about Chicago. (I keep finding funny bits of lore about Chicago in the stuff I read. Anyone else know any good college lore?)</p>
<p>Book: I can’t pick one. How about some favorite authors? Arthur Conan Doyle, Isaac Asimov, Hernando de Soto would be a few.
Food: Seasonal milkshakes from Burgerville. (If you’ve never had one, you’ll just have to visit Portland in the summer time!)
Movie: In the last few weeks of summer, I watched “The Village” over and over again with my little brother. I guess I’ll call that one my current favorite.</p>
<p>I think I’m doing EA as well.</p>
<p>Book: The Lovely Bones, 1984, His Dark Materials series
Food: tortilla chips and salsa, cookie dough ice cream… mmmmm
Movie: Fight Club</p>
<p>Me</p>
<p>Book: The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
Food: Cheez-its are my vice, but I generally like various types of fruits and well cooked meats and fish.
Movie: Too many to count, but Gattaca, Vanilla Sky, American Beauty, Office Space, and some others are near the top of the list.</p>
<p>I’m applying EA! Although i’m not counting on getting in…</p>
<p>Book: Angle of Repose- Stegner and the more recent Fast Food Nation- WOW! after reading that and watching super size me i’m never eating fast food again!
Food: Anythign Chinese… seriously… anything. and crepes
Movie: oh there’s so many… i guess The 40 year old virgin (with its ridiculous ending), Farris Buelers day off and Lost In Translation</p>
<p>S (Wild Child) is applying EA. He is also an Ayn Rand fan, but is currently obsessed with Tucker Max (a grad of S’s high school). S is a recruited athlete, which doesn’t mean a whole lot in terms of admissions. I (the Mom) am a Chicago Law grad- back in the horse and buggy days.</p>
<p>I have a question–when do the teacher recs have to be sent out by? On the website it just says postmarked by Nov. 1.</p>
