754 AnonymousThe uncommon application was what struck me about Chicago to begin with. The essay is provocative, and designed to probe intelect and depth, as opposed to the common application's 'describe one incident that changed your life" nonsense. It would be counter productive for the school and prespective students to replace the uncommon application. It would be step one towards dissolving what Chicago stands for, and what the alumni cherish about Chicago.
755 Rebecca L. JohnsonMoving to the Common Application irreconcilably compromises our identity as a free-thinking, slightly eccentric school, which is one of our most precious commodities. Please don't send us down the route of every other rubber-stamp, A-list, Ivy League school. The quality that makes us better is our individuality, and the Uncommon Application is a huge component thereof.
756 Ariane WilliamsI cannot express how much the uncommon application meant to me during the soul-destroying ordeal of the college application process. Please don't let our goddamn Ivy League penis envy force a move that would infinitely diminish the school in the eyes of current and future students.

762 Mark HolumI wouldn't want to go to a school without the uncommon application. I wouldn't want to go to school with anyone who hadn't done it.

777 Sneha RamakrishnaThe uncommon application was one of the most distinguishing and deciding factors of my wish to come to this school. It is a great incite into the importance of development of thought which our school has. It would be a shame for it to be lost.
778 Adam LeongThis is a ridiculous bid for ratings and you know it.
779 Angela StathosI wish the university would stop "selling out" and trying to be more like the state schools. That's NOT why I came here.

781 Esmeralda Cortez-Herrerasave the uncommon app!!
782 Ashley MeyerThe admissions office should put in the time and effort to process the more complex college application, as it's a worthy investment that will yield a more committed student body.
783 Elizabeth Heath-HeckmanPart of the reason I applied and went to Chicago was the fact that the uncommon Application showed that they had different expectations of their student body than other schools. Making it easier to apply will not attract more able students, but will instead help to keep those that love Chicago for what it is away since it will change the way we present ourselves to the outside world.
784 Yei-Won LeePlease SAVE the Uncommon Application !! It's a GREAT tradition of University of Chicago.

790 Lia SkalkosThe uncommon application made this school better to apply to. Don't get rid of it. It marks this institution's uniqueness.

794 Bethany JorgensenThe Uncommon application made applying for this university an interesting and inspiring process, not the same-old same-old modification of other essays I had already written. It is the beginning of the U of C experience.

798 Conor HealyThe Uncommon App. was one of the main factors that attracted me to this school. It is completely unique and separated itself from other schools; this along with the way it was written makes it feel so much more personal than the common application. It exhudes the message that you really care about the student and the type of education that they will find here.
799 AnonymousDon't do away with the Uncommon Application, it was by far the most entertaining one I filled out! It also first introduced me to the quirky sense of humor that is very common at the University of Chicago, and ultimately helped me choose to come here.
