<p>I did not have an interview either, because I did not request one (stupid I know, and I’m lucky I was accepted).</p>
<p>Interviews for Chicago are probably more important/ weighted more heavily than they are at other comparable schools. However, one thing that I did (and I don’t know how many people did this) was have a 4th rec letter sent (Chicago is one of the only schools I know that actually has a form for this). </p>
<p>So I had 2 teacher recs, 1 counselor rec, and 1 rec from my friend/boss from my Boy Scout camp. That rec probably helped me a lot because I got my job at my Scout camp because I took a merit badge class there with my boss as my instructor, and he was so surprised that I knew as much as I did about biology that he made sure I was hired the following year.</p>
