Has anyone ever said in LOCIs to two or more schools that they would 100% attend if admitted? I imagine it's happened before, but we shouldn't do that because it would be unethical, I take it.
Yeah imma keep telling myself logically I’m okay. My brother just shook me up when I said I wanted to email he said “don’t be an idiot you’re gonna screw yourself and ruin it just wait” but he didn’t even hear me out when I tried to explain why I felt the need to email
@CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick: people unfortunately do it all the time I’ve seen redditors recommend it because “how will the schools know” and then just say whichever takes the bait first make sure you withdraw from the other immediately. But I agree it’s horrible behavior and unethical

It’s dumb and sometimes but rarely schools talk about applicants and it can screw you

Maybe it’s just an LSA urban legend but it’s supposed to be a bad idea
It makes me upset seeing people recommend that to others like it looks bad on them sure but it also weakens all statements like that cuz then schools have to figure out if everyone is saying that to every school or serious
The not-dishonest way to say it is "I would immediately accept an offer of admission" (and accept whichever school offers first), but only if you are prepared to do just that without waiting on aid etc.
I sound like a broken record but- I wrote a why Chicago essay that I loved for my original application and feel that I don’t have much more to add for a LOCI because my circumstances really haven’t changed- I applied this semester so my resume is pretty current
@LateScandalousCaterpillar: did you have a page limit for your why UChi? Maybe just treat the LOCI as another page. Point out additional things or go into further detail
Like if there’s a specific class or program you liked, now talk about the professors that teach that that you hope to interact with or stuff like that maybe?
