it's like physically impossible to not want to get a better spread of opportunities compared to a worse one
#University of Chicago (UChicago) (2023-2024)
upper elm
it's like do you want a bigger or smaller pizza if we assume that there are no health or waste implications
fossil token
And that matters how? if I'm taking gen chem does it matter who im learning from. Research opportunities might be better ig
But if your just trying to get your degree it doesn't really matter
foggy nest
And that matters how? if I'm taking gen chem does it matter who im learning from...
Not just about classes either
upper elm
And that matters how? if I'm taking gen chem does it matter who im learning from...
the point is that you shoulldn't be afking in gen chem
do your damndest to abuse the resources you're given
school offers grad courses for undergrads?
get the fuck ahead
foggy nest
But if your just trying to get your degree it doesn't really matter
I agree, if you want to just get a degree there's no need for t20
upper elm
internship/research opportunities? jump like a ravenous tiger for them
if ur ltierally afk idk why ur applying t20
so many places have decent opportunities and resources
only a few have excellent ones, and those are locked to students who are hungry as fuck for knowledge
if you're not, idk gg
foggy nest
Like me for example
upper elm
ok nice flex bro.
upper elm
wtf ur applying to CUM
foggy nest
because picoctf is awesome and I wanna work with those people

And that matters how? if I'm taking gen chem does it matter who im learning from...
i took gen chem at one of my state unis and it was significantly easier than uchi’s gen chem

if you don't know what the fuck you're doing and you're not passionate about any one field in particular it's literally still fine
rich sapphire

Bro is trying to eliminate the competition
That's just what I think don't listen it to it if you don't believe it
upper elm
it's literally just DO you want to learn as much as possible
fading socket
woah
upper elm
whether that's in one thing that you love or a bunch of things you're curious about
if you dgaf
idk bro u r trolling
incomprehensible to me that you might genuinely not want more resources
rich sapphire
laziness
upper elm
yeah but like
even if ur a lazy bastard like me
u might still want to explore
be curious
rich sapphire
no i mean like ACTUAL laziness
upper elm
and if the walls around you are too tight how tf r u going to learn
it's like you'd rather have less textbooks than more textbooks if they're all free and take up 0 space
💀
tl;dr go apply somewhere with cool things and enjoy
:YEP:
and dont if u dgaf
upper elm
i dont get that
but i dont particularly think there's smth wrong with that
just like
why morb out on the college apps if you don't even want it
this is kind of just a realization i've had in the past month or so but ye
foggy nest
it is a pretty good way to find out what u do and dont want
like if u hate writing a "why school" essay
you probably dont like some things about the school
foggy nest
yh
upper elm
lowkey prestige is only there because that school either has resources or something really unique
Or both.

don't think of it quantitatively- rather see how a particular course or professor attracts you to UChicago and will provide you the skills to achieve your ambitions at college and in your future career

you can also literally just not mention a professor

i think a course is highly recommended for any why college essay. Professors not as much, as it's easy to namedrop them without actually providing any substance. But if you know one, definitely add them in
especially for a why college essay like UChicago's, where you've got a lot more room to mention the depth that you've got abt the uni
