Chicago’s Uncommon Application (2007-2008) 芝加哥的罕見應用 （ 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!).是我稱之為一本教科書的例子，一個很好的adcom博客（只要它有一個zestier網站-博客是如此沉悶！ ） 。 I just thought I’d take a moment to recognize its utility to students both students and the school.我只是想過自己藉此機會認識到其實用性，以學生的學生和學校。

It is at once a great way to communicate with applicants (and prospective applicants) about important details (as with this這是一次偉大的辦法進行溝通與申請人（及準申請者）約有重要細節（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.經過最近的大地震亞洲） ，而且傳達友善的招生辦大學的一個研究小組在芝加哥。

They do things ‘differently’ over there, or so I’m told, but it’s usually in a good way.他們做的事情'不同'在那裡，所以我可以告訴，但它通常是在一個很好的方法。 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：截止日期為次定在午夜，但它是在午夜從世界任何地方，因此東coasters派出它在清晨三時，或者更確切地說， 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:我發現這個搞笑，並說真的，真的很酷， 它的樂趣，觸及這樣可以鍾愛申請一所學校。利比皮爾遜作了扼要重述後的一些值得注意的地點在一個頗具代表性郵政事後： UChicago applicants time-shift like crazy uchicago申請時間移像瘋了似的 . 。

So, to reiterate what I said back in August to Karine Joly:因此，要重申我說，早在8月至卡林納joly ： everyone likes to see some nice honest blogging on behalf of the admissions officers每個人都喜歡看一些很不錯的，誠實志的名義招生人員 (see #2). （見2號） 。 I for one would feel much more confident in my hypothetical application to UChicago對我來說，會感到更有信心，在我的假設的應用uchicago if I knew that my reader had envelopes for hands如果我知道，我閱讀了一筆專款手中 , for example. ，例如。 This is useful knowledge, people.這是非常有用的知識，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：如果你是另一所學校與博客，不感到被排除在外一定要公正，因為我沒有員額約你今天。 I just chose to cover this blog first because I really liked the picture of the envelope-hands.我只是選擇了涵蓋本博客第一，因為我真的很喜歡圖片的信封手中。 I’ll be posting some more retrospective appreciation posts in the coming weeks.我會張貼一些較具追溯讚賞職位，在未來數週內。
