writing the uchicago supplemental | uncommon essay and why uchicago essay

The supplemental essays for the University of Chicago are really difficult to begin; there's no clear answer on how to go about doing them. Where do you even start with the prompts for the notorious uncommon essay? And how do you stand out with your "Why UChicago?" prompt? With the next college application season coming in, I hope this video is of some use and best of luck with your common app essays!

about me 🌷
I’m Makayla! I’m nineteen years old, a rising second year at the University of Chicago, and a Creative Writing and (prospective) Global Studies double major.
Some of my favorite pastimes are reading, cooking, writing, violin, ping pong, and studying. I have an older brother, step-siblings, three dogs, and I grew up in Maine.
I’m a 5w4 INTJ and in love with Star Wars, Marvel, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Supernatural, and Sherlock, so I can always talk about these all day long!!
