How to write these well

  • Turn secondaries around within 7 to 14 days of receiving them. Schools read speed as interest, and slow essays land in a bigger pile.
  • Pre-write the universal question types (diversity, challenge, why us) once, then adapt per school. Adapting is rewriting the school specific half, not swapping the name.
  • Name real programs. A why us answer that cites a specific clinic, track, or community partnership reads ten times stronger than praise for reputation or location.
  • Stay under the limit without padding to reach it. Readers are working through thousands of these; a tight answer is a kindness they remember.

Draft your Chicago secondaries in your own voice
