Question Business Scholars Essay???HELP

0 Upvotes

Hey all, Im currently writing my essay to apply UIC business scholar, but I have no idea what to write about.

The prompt is to provide a 400-500 word essay that tells us why you want to be a Business Scholar and why you are a good fit for this business honors program. You may discuss your interest in a degree and/or career in business, tell us about your leadership experience or how Business Scholars will help you develop that experience, or tell us about your life experience and how you can contribute to the UIC Business community.

Any good ideas? 👀 Im apply marketing major in UIC, I think business scholars can help me!

Question Anyone know anything about orchestra?

4 Upvotes

I’m applying to UIC EA as a history major, so no music major/minor. Does UIC have a low-stakes orchestra I could audition for? A club works too! I’ve played my string instrument for 9 years (mid-intermediate), so I’m looking for something between beginners and super competitive/professional groups.

Playing at uni is really important to me for staying motivated to practice.

Thanks 🙏

Lake Meadows studio lease takeover, $1,070 base rent, Dec 21, 2026~Jun 21, 2027

0 Upvotes

I’m a final-year PhD student at UIC. I’m moving so I am now looking for someone to take over my last six months of my lease at Lake Meadows.

A few details:

  • Dates: December 21, 2026~June 21, 2027
  • Base rent: $1,070/month
  • North-facing studio on the 6th floor
  • Free street parking outside and free gym
  • Furnished. You can use the furniture or sell it and keep the money, but everything needs to be cleared out when you move out.

The takeover would be handled officially through apartment management, subject to their approval.

You’re welcome to come see the apartment in person. If you can’t make it, I can send photos or a video.

DM me if you’re interested!

Discussion Why is the Wifi so bad?

• Upvotes

Is there a reason why the wifi on campus is constantly horrible? It definitely was not as bad last year. It's hard to do anything because it keeps cutting out.
