| really i doubt it would...if anything, you could always say that you might be interested in attending Chicago Business School after undergraduate and that you were just thinking ahead 
Libby Pearson...sweet! I just realized that you are the admissions counselor for transfers....hello there.  |

| or i guess i should say you're doing the transfer uncommon blog...i've actually got a different regional counselor.
8 months to think about 2 short questions and an essay...somehow, when my answers will play a large part in whether or not I get to go to Chicago, that doesn't seem like enough time. lol | |

| i am also of the opinion that the sheet will not really have any bearing on whether you are admitted or not. However, if any of you are planning on going to graduate school in business, do note that the University of Chicago has this new initiative to recruit its undergraduates for the business school. Basically, you apply right after college, and they use your college years as an indication of whether or not they'd like to have you at the GSB. Then, if you are accepted, they help place you in a firm so you can get work experience, and after two years you return to Chicago to get your degree. I dont know precisely where the link is to this information... if anyone comes across it again do post... im sure a lot of people would be interested in the details. | |

| So Libby Pearson, is it all about the essays?
EDIT: Well I don't know how to italicize and I just wanted to refer to the screenname of said person, however, it is important to be specific b/c you never know how many people named Libby could be reading your post.

| LP,
Welcome to CC! You'll probably find us all frightening and carniverously competitive and irrational, but in the end...no, you probably still won't like us in a few months. But hey, a job's a job.
People on CC love to analyze and debate college admissions qualities and advantages, etc. to no end. What do you think is the biggest misconception that students have about college admissions? Also, is GPA (secondary school ranking) the most important thing on an application? What can be done to counter a lower-than-desired rank or GPA?
Well, that'll keep you busy. Thanks! | |

| 1) Does Andre Phillips actually exist?
2) Are you scared of another open forum after the total meltdown of the Prospective Transfer Students blog this year? | |

| Libby -
What would you suggest for transfer applicants that cannot afford/don't have the time to interview at Chicago. Is there a way an interview could be set up in my city (Houston)? Unfortunately, due to my courseload (trying to look good for yall ), ECs, and work, besides the fact that I can't afford a roundtrip ticket, I won't be able to visit any of the schools I'm applying to. However, Chicago is my favorite and the only one that has interviews for transfers, so I really don't want to miss out on the opportunity. | |

| 2nd, 3rd ... year fin aid
Hello,
Most books and Q/A focus on the 1st first year fin aid policies. I am a dad interested to know what the fin aid possibilities are for 2nd, 3rd .. years in college.
For example can a good, and hard working student get a part-time job like a TA, or a research assistant... to help reduce the tuition fees in 2nd, or 3rd, 4th year? Is such possibility available at UC? what about the other top HYPS colleges/universities (if you can answer)?
Many thanks in advance for your response | |

| Okay, why are Chicago's essays so.......... EVIL?? I feel as if I have to take LSD to answer them.
Seriously, how would you rate the university's computer science program? | |
