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

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.
TruthTheX
23:14
Yeah but that’s still a different statement from “this school is my top

I told my school in the LOCI that is immediately go and I’m 100% committed (mainly bc I only applied to one law school)
TruthTheX
23:15
The one you said I think is fine but when people just say to every school “you’re my favorite… don’t tell anyone” it’s so icky

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
23:16
Is it a killer to not write one
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
23:17
Yes it is incredibly bad not to write an loci if you’re on a waitlist
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick
23:17
I do not know. I did not write a Why Chicago for my original application. But I did write a LOCI that I submitted today.
LateScandalousCaterpillar
23:18
Got it thanks
LateScandalousCaterpillar
23:18
For nu do u have to do one in addition to Kira?
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
23:19
Good question, idk
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick
23:19
Also don't know.
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
23:19
Cuz Kira is probably similar to an loci, idk
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick
23:20
Btw, did you do the Kira, LateScandalousCaterpillar?
LateScandalousCaterpillar
23:20
I did the original one and need to do my WL one still lol by tonight
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick
23:20
I mean, you got 40 minutes...
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick
23:20
Unless you're not on the East Coast?
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick
23:20
I don't know time zones factor into it.
LateScandalousCaterpillar
23:21
It’s central time
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick
23:21
Ahhhhhhh...
LateScandalousCaterpillar
23:21
For Chicago
TruthTheX
23:21
@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
TruthTheX
23:22
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?

Will Northwestern has more WL movement this year?
