The Indian Thread #21

<p>I missed my June SAT because I got late to register and by then, all the seats were full at the nearest test center.</p>

<p>The same thing happened to me too, but I also had another paper on the very day.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Someone answer in detail?</p>

<p>Mine contained the school mission -.-</p>

<p>I received UChic essay topics in the morning!</p>

<p>^ you received them? Do you mean they e-mailed them to you?</p>

<p>Yes idream17, I participated in a competition of theirs so I am on the mailing list.</p>

<p>^ Good luck finding your ‘X’ :p</p>

<p>Mrinal2207, I am not sure if I am getting you</p>

<p>Find X. This was one of the essay prompts last year by U of Chicago. ;)</p>

<p>Ah? Its different this time round. They are 6 of them and are pretty hard to write about. I do not know whether I should post them here. I can PM you if you want them.</p>

<p>Naah, I am not even applying to U of Chicago. But, Good luck with the essays. They really pay heed to their supplements.</p>

<p>umm… so arent the essay topics for U chicago and commonapp same?
Does this mean that CommonApp is not applicable for applying to U chicago?</p>

<p>Crystal31: The topics are for the supplementary UChic essay.</p>

<p>^^There are college supplements, and then there is the CommonApp. CommonApp contains all the statistic parts of your application along with a couple of essays which is common for all colleges whereas college supplements are college specific. Every college has its own supplement which contain about 3~4 essays on average.</p>

<p>@papayas I got the mail too!
The topics are brain wrenching.</p>

<p>But I think I signed up for their mailing list, coz it doesn’t explain how I got the mail otherwise.</p>

<p>Every second person makes a mistake typing my username! Lol! xNorth22, you might have signed up on the College Board site and added UChic to your list, that’s how they got your email.</p>

<p>Hey adi2915! Do you mind sharing the rest of your stats?</p>

<p>^ you know what trick I use to correctly spell your name?</p>

<p>I remove the first letter - that’s just an unnecessary initial.</p>

<p>Then, the rest sounds like pious. So it’s Paayas! :)</p>
