<p>Aack! Sorry, got a little behind with answering questions here as we’ve recently been quite busy sending out RD notifications, preparing programs for the Spring, and accommodating all of the visitors to our office over our and your Spring breaks. I’ll try and keep up as best I can with your questions.</p>
<p>First note: remember, I cannot and will not “chance” you, your friend, or anyone you know for admission based on any statistics or qualifications you may provide, and it would be unwise of me to give you advice on specific coursework or paths of study- consult your college admissions counselor at your school, or a guidance counselor/other trusted teacher, for advice in these realms.</p>
<p>@Collegestress: Should you wist to remain on our waitlist, please let us know by May 1st. It is imperative that you also accept a place at another college to which you were admitted by that time as well. You may feel free to send in some supplemental information- a letter stating your continuing interest in UChicago, for example- but don’t overdo it; extra rec letters, essays, or large application supplements are not necessary. See here for further and more comprehensive information: <a href=“https://blogs.uchicago.edu/collegeadmissions/2010/03/some-advice-for-students-on-th.html[/url]”>https://blogs.uchicago.edu/collegeadmissions/2010/03/some-advice-for-students-on-th.html</a></p>
<p>@ksarmand and insomniac159- if you feel that your aid package is inadequate, you may contact the office of college aid at <a href=“mailto:college-aid@uchicago.edu”>college-aid@uchicago.edu</a> or by phone to arrange to speak with an aid officer and discuss your situation. While this may not result in an increase in your aid, you are welcome to try. Ksarmand, I encourage you to seek outside scholarships through your school guidance counselor and online resources like Fastweb. You should contact your regional admissions counselor to talk about deferring admission for a year, to see if this could work in your situation- we’d want to know all of the facts before recommending this. </p>
<p>@Collegesgirl- no, we do not offer courses in engineering or a 3/2 program in engineering and mathematics.</p>
