<p>hey know what i was just thinkng?? I dont mean to sound biased n bitter or anything, since I only did good on the writing section and no other section, but can you guys who are interested in the university of chicago and feel like you know about its mission/motto, and even its atmosphere, respond to this thought of mine? So that i can see if anyone else shares this point of view, or if i’m not making sense. Not that it matters anyway, we clearly cannot change their policy, but if uchicago doesnt consider the writing section because they think it is ridiculous for a student to have to write an essay in half an hour, doesn’t that seem strange? like doesn’t it seem like this particular college, which is dedicated to the life of the mind, intellectual curiousity, individuality, eccentricity, and original thought, would be more interested in somebody’s raw natural thoughts and ideas? like why would they prefer an essay which somebody could have thought about for hours and hours, or even used the ideas of others, when they could read a essay that was unresearched and basically somebody’s natural ability to interpret and analyze and convey ideas? Know what I mean? Does anybody else think it seems like uchicago in particular would be interested in this sort of thing? THE LIFE OF THE MIND. haha thats a strange reason for them to not consider it!!</p>
