[chicagoideasweek]

Thought we took care of this earlier but we must've missed it.. We need to remove the requirement to submit an unofficial copy of a student's transcript from the ThinkChicago application.

We also need to change the eligibility criteria to include graduate students. I've updated the content which should be placed here: https://skitch.com/coreyciw/ejbui/think-chicago-chicago-ideas-week

Updated content:

Eligibility Criteria
The program seeks candidates who are enthusiastic about technology and entrepreneurship and have demonstrated a commitment to excellence as evidenced by academic honors, leadership experience, extracurricular activities, and/or professional involvement. ThinkChicago applicants must either be in their junior or senior years of their undergraduate program or enrolled in a graduate program at an academic institution in one of the following states: Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.

Also, under Part 3: Employment Interests section of the actual application, can we add a question that states:

Please list types or specific companies in Chicago you would be interested in visiting if you were selected for this trip.

Thanks!!

To go along with this change, would it also be possible to change the application from reading “Undergraduate Institution” to just “Institution” as now we plan to accept graduate students? That'd be great.. Thanks!
