Chicago’s Uncommon Application (2007-2008) 芝加哥的罕见应用 （ 2007-2008 ） is what I would call a textbook example of an excellent adcom blog (If only it had a zestier site–Blogspot is so boring!).是我称之为一本教科书的例子，一个很好的adcom博客（只要它有一个zestier网站-博客是如此沉闷！ ） 。 I just thought I’d take a moment to recognize its utility to students both students and the school.我只是想过自己借此机会认识到其实用性，以学生的学生和学校。

It is at once a great way to communicate with applicants (and prospective applicants) about important details (as with this这是一次伟大的办法进行沟通与申请人（及准申请者）约有重要细节（如本 deadline update限期更新 after the recent quake in Asia) and moreover to convey the friendliness of the admissions team at the University of Chicago.经过最近的大地震亚洲） ，而且传达友善的招生办大学的一个研究小组在芝加哥。

They do things ‘differently’ over there, or so I’m told, but it’s usually in a good way.他们做的事情'不同'在那里，所以我可以告诉，但它通常是在一个很好的方法。 Case in point: the deadline for RD was set at midnight, but it was midnight ‘from anywhere in the world.’ Therefore east coasters sent it in at 3 am, or rather, 12 am PST.案例分析：截止日期为次定在午夜，但它是在午夜从世界任何地方，因此东coasters派出它在清晨三时，或者更确切地说， 12日上午pst文件。 So forth.等等。 I found this hilarious and really, really cool. It’s fun touches like this that can endear applicants to a school. Libby Pearson made a post recapping some of the noteworthy locations in a fairly representative post afterwards:我发现这个搞笑，并说真的，真的很酷， 它的乐趣，触及这样可以钟爱申请一所学校。利比皮尔逊作了扼要重述后的一些值得注意的地点在一个颇具代表性邮政事后： UChicago applicants time-shift like crazy uchicago申请时间移像疯了似的 . 。

So, to reiterate what I said back in August to Karine Joly:因此，要重申我说，早在8月至卡林纳joly ： everyone likes to see some nice honest blogging on behalf of the admissions officers每个人都喜欢看一些很不错的，诚实志的名义招生人员 (see #2). （见2号） 。 I for one would feel much more confident in my hypothetical application to UChicago对我来说，会感到更有信心，在我的假设的应用uchicago if I knew that my reader had envelopes for hands如果我知道，我阅读了一笔专款手中 , for example. ，例如。 This is useful knowledge, people.这是非常有用的知识，人的。

ps: If you’re another school with a blog, don’t feel left out necessarily just because I didn’t post about you today.答：如果你是另一所学校与博客，不感到被排除在外一定要公正，因为我没有员额约你今天。 I just chose to cover this blog first because I really liked the picture of the envelope-hands.我只是选择了涵盖本博客第一，因为我真的很喜欢图片的信封手中。 I’ll be posting some more retrospective appreciation posts in the coming weeks.我会张贴一些较具追溯赞赏职位，在未来数周内。
