I recently logged onto the UnCommon Application blog (because there wasn't anything new up at bestweekever.tv) and found it to be full of helpful tidbits on how to fill out your application. To this, as to pretty much all else Libby says, I say, "Laaaaaaaaaaame." This blog's ratio of informative posts to mindless time-wasting and YouTube clips is looking like the student : teacher ratio in an Econ 101 class at a huge state school. (We're aiming for something closer to 6.6:1.)
I know nothing about how the online application works; I cannot answer any of your questions about it. Until recently I thought teh internets were in a box in Libby's office (turns out I wasn't 100% wrong, but the explanation of how a "server" is, like, a part of the internet went over my head). Instead, I am going to blog about the things that really matter when you choose which schools to apply to, namely: college football, things to do in Chicago, places you can eat in Chicago, and pro football. I will refrain from offering any helpful information. That's what Libby's here for.
