Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if there was any consensus as to whether a more personal tone or a more analytical tone is better for the extended essay. I’m writing on the History prompt, and I have taken a more ideological stance that showcases my knowledge and love for history than any personal details or stories. On the other hand, my common app essay, Why UChicago? essay and favorites essay are very personal.

I would love to hear any thoughts from past or current applicants.

Thank you.
