<p>Hmm, maybe not :?</p>
<p>UChicago and sports in the same sentence LOL.</p>
<p>UChicago had more Rhodes Scholars than they do have sports, including both men and women.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m applying to UChicago just to write this essay.</p>
<p>UChicago has sports, I just checked</p>
<p>If I applied, I’d do the explain your favorite joke one.</p>
<p>not sports rivals but as in academic rivals. lol just to clarify</p>
<p>I want to do either the Mantis Shrimp one, the history one, or the favorite joke one (though I’d probably screw it up). Forgot about the rest.</p>
<p>Should I even apply when it’s out of my league, and doesn’t have my major? I want to write this essay (it’s like the only one I’m excited about writing)</p>
<p>Apply when you’re done with all your other apps.</p>
<p>sounds like a plan </p>
<p>I was looking at all the supplementals for the colleges I’m interested in from this past application season. UofR expects people to answer these three questions with only 125 words each. For the question, “Have you ever failed a class? Elaborate.” is the most difficult one for me to picture being under 125 words.</p>
<p>My answer to that one would be “No.”</p>
<p>I think if anyone answers the question with more than one word “No”, they are most likely getting rejected.</p>
<p>Yea, I don’t really understand that question.</p>
<p>Are there such things as academic rivals?</p>
<p>Absolutely. Tesla and Edison comes to mind. But if you mean colleges, I think Stanford and Berkeley come the closest.</p>
<p>Yeah. Hopefully this year will be better. </p>
<p>Yeah, if you go to stanfordrejects.com it redirects you to Berkeley. That’s how bad it is. CalTech and MIT are somewhat of rivals.</p>
<p>Yeah I meant colleges. After reading Double Helix I know all too much about scientific rivalries (hated that book). </p>
<p>I guess I could see them being rivals. Harvard and Yale come to mind too. That’s all I can think of though. It’s what I get for living in Big Ten country, where sports determine the legitimacy of your university. For better or worse.</p>
<p>I think MIT and CalTech are just messing with each other. There’s not actually any bad blood between the two. I think Harvard and Yale are just rivals in sports.</p>
<p>I think MIT and Caltech are big ones. They even have a wikipedia page dedicated to their rivalry. [Caltech?MIT</a> rivalry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caltech–MIT_rivalry]Caltech?MIT”>Caltech–MIT rivalry - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>There used to be this thing where mitrejects.com reloaded to CalTech but they took that down. </p>
<p>safetyschool.org goes to Yale. Haha, next time someone asks me what a safety school is I’ll just tell them to go to that url. I’m cruel like that.</p>
<p>Anybody really decided on the college they are going to attend?</p>
