BCSA/BHA/BSA - Bachelor of Computer Science & Arts/Bachelor of Humanities & Arts

II. REQUIRED SHORT ESSAYS (200 words)

1. There is a Quaker saying: “Let your life speak.” Describe the environment in which you were raised—your family, home, neighborhood or community—and how it influenced the person you are today.

2. Self-identity and personal expression take many forms. For example, music, clothing, politics, extracurricular interests and ethnicity can each be a defining attribute. Do you surf or tinker? Are you a vegetarian poet who loves Ayn Rand? Do you prefer YouTube or test tubes? Are you preppie or Goth? Use the richness of your life to give us insight: what voice will you add to the class of 2014?

III. OPTIONAL ESSAY

Tufts develops leaders who will address the intellectual and social challenges of the new century. Since critical thinking, creativity, practicality and wisdom are four elements of successful leadership, the following topics offer you an opportunity to illustrate these various characteristics. We invite you to choose one and prepare an essay of 250-400 words. (And it really is optional!)

1. It’s 1781 and the American colonies were just defeated by the British at Yorktown. Imagine history without the United States as we know it.

2. Are we alone?

3. French anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss observed “The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers he's one who asks the right questions.” Using your knowledge of scientific and/or mathematical principles, identify a question whose answer you seek and tell us how you might go about investigating it.

4. Kermit the Frog famously lamented “It’s not easy being green.”Do you agree?

5. OMG, LOL…Texting, cell phones, blogs and twee ts are redefining the way we communicate. Facebook is the new playground while print newspapers are dying. As thumbs replace tongues, does this shift in human expression enhance or limit social interaction and dialogue? Why?

6. a.) Use an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper to create something. You can blueprint your future home, create a new product, draw a cartoon strip, design a costume or a theatrical set, compose a score or do something entirely different. Let your imagination wander.

PS/Essay Essay

Respond to Question 1 - and, if you choose, Question 2 - by writing a paragraph or two for

each question. Then choose one of the five extended essay options, indicate your choice, and

write a one- or two-page response. This is your chance to speak to us and our chance to

listen as you tell us about yourself, your tastes, and your ambitions. Each topic can be

addressed with utter seriousness, complete fancy, or something in between-it is your choice.

Play, analyze (don't agonize), create, compose-let us hear the result of your thinking about

something that interests you, in a voice that is your own.

Question 1. How does the University of Chicago, as you know it now, satisfy your desire for

a particular kind of learning, community, and future? Please address with some specificity

your own wishes and how they relate to Chicago。

Optional: Question 2. Would you please tell us about a few of your favorite books, poems,

authors, films, plays, pieces of music, musicians, performers, paintings, artists, magazines,

or newspapers? Feel free to touch on one, some, or all of the categories listed, or add a

category of your own。

Extended Essay

(Choose one of five)

To develop this year's extended essay options, we emailed current Chicago students and

students admitted to the Class of 2012 and asked them for topics. We received several

hundred responses, many of which were eloquent, intriguing, or downright wacky. As you

can see by the attributions, three of the questions below were inspired by submissions from

your peers.

Essay Option 1.How did you get caught? (Or not caught, as the case may be.)

Essay Option 2. The late-eighteenth-century popular philosopher and cultural critic George
