[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son wants to go to UChicago and, with ED, he's on the brink. The 3.8 private school kid you read about a lot here.

He has two summers to impress. He has his plans (incl a job), but he's wondering if anyone has any intel in what UChicago likes or doesn't care about.

I think they like their essays, for example, and aren't as concerned with volunteer work as some others -- but I'm guessing! Anyone have any intel?[/quote]

UChicago does lot of webinars and also comes to DC area for information sessions. Attend either or both.

I have attended several of these from various schools and they all say it is a Holistic admission process. There is not a single thing they are looking for from all the students. They look at the entire cohort....it is just like puzzle pieces to complete the puzzle. That is what they call Holistic admission. So there is no guarantee a student with GPA 4 or SAT 1600 gets in or a person with GPA 3.5 does not get admitted. They look at Grades, rigor, SAT, ECs (Leadership, community service, sports, research etc), Essays, Recommedations, other applications and what they bring to the school to make decisions[/quote]
