802 Andres DuhauThe unique Uncommon Application gave me the chance to explore and demonstrate very important aspects that make me the valuable person I am. This is not the case with the beaureaucratic evaluation of the common application.

805 Rebecca AckermanThe uncommon application was a major part of the reason I matriculated at UChicago.

811 Jennifer MacDonaldhow many rankings are we expected to climb because of the increased number of lazy uninterested applicants?

816 Helen von GohrenSave the Uncommon! I only filled out the application because it was different and interesting.
817 Mehrunisa QayyumWhether one is a traditionalist or a progressive trendsetter (I'm somewhere in the middle), the institution signaled to the applicatn that U of C will always be unique. My first memory of U of C was tackling the Uncommon Application. Please don't succumb to ill-informed, adolescent complaints regarding the applicaton. If applicants can't learn to love, they don't belong in U of C.

836 Jordan CriceI do not exaggerate when I say that the existence of the Uncommon Application was what induced me to apply to the University of Chicago. I thought it was exemplary of a unique and appealing attitude toward education - which for me was the University's primary attraction.

839 Anne SappingtonI can imagine that this means a smaller applicant pool, but it also means a pluckier, more committed, more creative, and just generally better applicant pool. Moreover, this is the only application I actually had fun writing.
840 Isabel HavilandThe Uncommon application is what characterizes our school as unique during the application process, and it is one of the factors that attracted me to come here in the first place. It seemed to communicate that the University was interested in its applicants as individuals rather than as a set of numbers or lists. Standardizing our application will standardize our student body. Is that what the university wants?

842 Patricia Claire GilbertWhen I hear we want to change to the Common Application, it makes me feel like we are rejecting our uniqueness and trying to become like Harvard. That's sad. We're not Harvard. We're worse in the ratings but better in academic experience. That's what counts. Trying to become better in the ratings means sacrificing some of the uniqueness which makes our school so appealing to UChicago students.
843 Daniela PetuchowskiThis application is WHY I applied here.
