<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I moved to Chicago from Singapore to finish my last 2 years of HS, and the intellectual environment in the U of Chicago sounds a lot like that of my previous HS (i.e. stimulating, enriching discussions with other students both in and out of class). This is something that I really cherished (and miss). I have fairly decent SAT scores (CR: 740, M: 740, W: 670) and was previously looking at HYPS with U of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as my safety. That is, until I saw this thread :). </p>
<p>I have a few questions if you don’t mind:</p>
<ol>
<li>How does U of Chicago match up against other schools in the area e.g. UIUC, UofI Chicago, Northwestern, Purdue, Notre Dame?</li>
<li>I’m hoping to do a double degree, one in Music, specifically piano. Does U of Chicago have a good music program? BTW I am currently studying under a fantastic teacher at Chicago Music Institute.</li>
<li>What fields of study are U of Chicago good for?</li>
</ol>
