I don’t think it’s necessarily the essays that make the difference, but the fit of the student.

It’s typical to see applicants with immaculate stats get rejected at Chicago because they just wouldn’t fit with the student body.

I think essays are one of the major ways that the admissions committee determines a student’s fit, which is why they play a major role.
