<p>I’m in 9th grade and hoping to go to Uchicago. I don’t have any extracurriculars yet though. Do you think I could still get accepted if I make good grades but didn’t have extracurricular freshman year?</p>

<p>It’s not too late to get involved in an extracurricular activity. Even if it’s something that does not require a lot of time. Choose something you enjoy and get involved. Book club, school club, town recreation sports, an hour a week adds up by then end of your 4 years of high school. If you choose something you’re passionate about, you will have a lot of good material to draw from when it comes time to write your U of Chicago application essay.</p>
<p>That’s a relief, thanks so much!</p>
