University of Chicago Supplement Essays


Want to attend the most competitive and most highly regarded university in the Midwest? Well, get in line. In an average application cycle, UChicago receives nearly ten thousand undergraduate applications, most from students with excellent high school marks and stellar SATs. Still, less than 30% were accepted into the class of 2012 and it's a pretty safe bet that the rate will drop even further this year. The challenge for incoming students is figuring out a way to set themselves apart from the competition.

In order to help them separate the wheat from the chaff, Chicago relies heavily on their cleverly crafted essay questions, some of which are submitted each application cycle by current UChicago students.  This year's bunch include a MLK quote and the intriguing (if not downright frightening) opportunity to tell a story about a time when you were "caught".  Everyone knows how important it is to submit clear and well written essays that communicate your core strengths, but getting to the finish line can be a little difficult.  Enter Flashpoint.

Flashpoint enables students to work individually with a top writer or editor to conceptualize, draft, and revise a perfect response to the legendary UChicago supplemental essay prompt.  Regardless of whether you're in need of a minor polish or you can't quite figure out where to start, we offer a package designed to meet your needs and help you gain admission to Chicago and other top universities.  We believe that we offer the best writing and editing services you will find anywhere.  In fact, we're so sure of it that we stand behind all of our work with a total satisfaction guarantee.  Your writer or editor will guide you step by step through the writing process and provide as many revisions as you feel are necessary.  We won't stop working until you tell us your statement is perfect.  At Flashpoint, we know the difference that self-expression can make and we pride ourselves in helping to create personal statements that change the way you are seen by admissions committees.
