My fellow brothers and sisters

For what it’s worth:

I didn’t think my essays were outstanding – I’ve written more insightful pieces for English class. They didn’t have the spark and ingenuity that everybody spoke about when referencing their Chicago essays. I judge myself on tough standards, but I was honestly worried that because my essays weren’t “stellar”, I wasn’t going to get in. I did. They look at so much more than just the 1500 words that you write.

Moral: Good luck with your apps, don’t fret over typos or dumb mistakes (I had a few of these too). Hopefully I’ll see you there next year!

And don’t freak out on the UnCommonApp blog like us Early kids did.
