[quote=Anonymous]Actual UChicago parent here. What they want is in their slogan: "The life of the mind." They want intellectuals. The essay reader will read your essay, and it will matter a ton. They don't want narcissists, braggy stuff, or listing off service projects. They want intellectual curiosity on any topic. This is what most people miss--they don't want a bunch of kids who scored 5s on E&M Physics and BC Calc. If UChicago students were profiled on the Big 5, they'd have super-high O (Openness.) Regarding early decision, yes, helps a ton. APs don't really matter; all kids take entrance exams in June before Freshman year. SAT is truly a bar to clear (1500 for white non-athlete.)[/quote]
