| 204 | Amy Steelman | The uncommon application sets the tone for a student's entire experience at the UofC. To get rid of it would be terrible! |

| 210 | Ram Krishnan | I vehemently oppose the idea of getting rid of the Uncommon application. This more than any other metric in the application process has given Chicago the ability to maintain its unique and truly Chicago composition of undergraduates. |

| 212 | Nicole Naghi | The uncommon application makes applying to college at least a bit bearable, so please do not get rid of it! It's the last vestige of independent thought out there and Chicago is supposed to be the guardian of independent thought! |

| 218 | Anonymous | The uncommon application helped me understand what the U of C was about before I applied. It was my first real glimpse into the U of C, before I began my freshman year. I hope it will continue to be used because it embodies what the U of C is all about. |
| 219 | Kate Ramos | The Uncommon Application looks for that special quality that U of C students have. I, like most others, have completed the Common Application, and although it can make things easier for the student, it doesn't really ask enough of a student's creativity or unusual interests. |
| 220 | Rachel Landau | This school being uncommon made me want to come here. Don't throw that away! |

| 224 | Philip Munroe | The Uncommon Application was by far the one that was the most fun for me when I was applying to colleges. Altering it or taking it away would make the U of C's application process just as mundane as the rest. |

| 227 | Kathleen Duffy | I loved doing the uncommon app. It is what makes our school so original and unique. Please don't take away one of our greatest traditions. |
| 228 | Leo Wong | The Uncommon Application is the SOUL of this school! |
| 229 | Zoë Thompson | |
| 230 | Anne Sauer | I hope that everyone understands that the uncommon essays will still be a part of the application. I'm signing this petition because I don't believe that the ways the switch could possibly make a difference are positive considering the ways in which we view our school. |

| 232 | luis Brennan | The wonderful thing about this school is the very fact that it doesn't attract everyone. Only a certain type of person would love the uncommon app and only a certain type of person would love uchicago. It's this very thing that makes this such a wonderful place. The community if fosters is not only more important than any rankings it's also the cause of our so prized, "best overall academic experience" thing. If you get rid of the things that make it more selectively attractive to apply your getting rid of the things that makes this school great and unique. |

| 234 | Alison Feibel | The uncommon application is part of what defines our school. We pride ourselves on our unique education and the uncommon application is the first part of this education. |

| 238 | Richard Ruiz | Please do not get rid of an application that has been such a cherished tool of the school that brings in UC people. All of us here at the U of C have unique qualities and traits but we all have a common quirkiness, and it is this quirkiness that makes us the U of C. If you rid the admission process of the uncommon ap. you remove the one way every Chicago student has proven themself a member of this family. |
| 239 | Elizabeth Nelson | The uncommon app. is one of the things that endeared me to this school. I didn't to go the ivy route, but still wanted a good education. I think that's the beauty of this school. We embrace the quirkiness of our students from the very beginning. Even if we keep the essays and go to common app, we will be moving towards being just that: common. |

| 244 | Lauren Fram | The uncommon application is part of what attracted me to this school and one of the reasons I love it so. |
| 245 | Sara Friedman | |
| 246 | Kathryn Sangillo | |
| 247 | Brittany Luberda | It's the reason I applied- I felt it was the only application that actually valued individual thought and not just a homogenized systematic set of criteria. |

| 249 | Anonymous | If those incoming students can't challenge themselves to file the Uncommon Application, how likely are they going to challenge themselves and succeed in this uncommon university? |
