<p>Scientific research? Mathematical proofs? Poems? Performances? As I await April’s decision, I’m curious to know what you possibly-future Chicagoans submitted :P</p>
<p>I submitted a one act play about the Id, Ego, and Superego (I hope they won’t mind 6.5 pages, it moves quickly I swear!) and a CD of myself playing part of Bach’s Violin Concerto in A minor. </p>
<p>What about other people?</p>
<p>I submitted one of my articles (not really an article… I write a weekly column for the local newspaper). And a short story.</p>
<p>I sent in a drama dvd of my performance in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”</p>
<p>I didn’t send in any supplements.</p>
<p>a math proof? lol i doubt most high schoolers can prove a theorem that would impress a college adcom</p>
<p>Haha, I know, but I also know some pretty outstanding students in my high school who would probably attempt to impress them with a proof. </p>
<p>Besides, Chicago DOES say this: “Perhaps you are an artist, a writer, a performer, or someone who uses spare time to do mathematical proofs, and you want to send us a sample of your work.”</p>
<p>No harm in trying, I guess, lol.</p>
<p>Two poems and a supplemental recommendation.</p>
<p>I sent in the Pythagoras Theorem. No proof.</p>
<p>Just kidding. Just a supplemental rec.</p>
<p>Oh, that’s right. I sent a supp. rec too. Forgot about that.</p>
<p>DS sent in his research paper. Proved a new theorem. (Sorry – not to be snarky, but in some fields it’s possible to do this.) Also sent two supp recs, including one from the mentor who verified how DS came up with the idea and that he (the mentor) had not realized its relevance until DS demonstrated it to him. Also sent an activities/awards/etc. resume.</p>
<p>Submitting art, music or drama would have been painful for all concerned. :)</p>
<p>Hmmmm. Is it “supplementary” or “supplemental”?</p>
<p>Both, I suppose. I’m just using Chicago’s term.</p>
<p>I sent in 11 art slides, but one of them came out kind of bad so they’ll probably just base it off of 10.</p>
<p>I just had a supplemental recommendation from my French teacher. Chicago was the only school for me that REQUIRED an English/history teacher (for all the others it was English/history/foreign language), and my French teacher’s rec was absolutely glowing to say the least. :)</p>
<p>I don’t know for sure, but it was probably </p>
<p>Bach Partita No.3 “Preludio”
3 minutes of Mendelssohn
3 minutes of Sibelius
and entire Intro and Rondo Capriccioso with Bartlesville Symphony</p>
<p>Jenkster, don’t you think you might have sent in too much music? They said they could only listen to a few minutes…but I don’t know.</p>
<p>i sent 20 art slides. i might send creative writing pieces</p>
<p>lol i said on the sheet that they can pick and choose.</p>
<p>I just sent in two supp. recs.</p>
<p>haha that’s a good idea, jenkster.</p>
