About

The official certificate of incorporation for the University of Chicago was issued by the state of Illinois in September 1890, marking the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the university. Oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller's $600,000 donation and Marshall Field's donation of property helped the university get off the ground. The first classes were held in 1892 with 594 students and 120 faculty members, since then, the University of Chicago is one of America’s top universities, and holds top-ten positions in various national and international rankings. This university’s vision has been at the core of Chicago’s existence, enshrined in its motto: “Crescat scientia; vita excolatur”, which translates to “Let knowledge grow from more to more; and so be human life enriched”.

iSchoolConnect’s services are well-thought-out and affordable. I was looking for someone to review my SOPs and LORs and fine-tune them as and when required. ISC helped with exactly the same.
