Does UChicago live up to its "extremely hard" reputation?

I don’t think so.

What are your strength and weakness? If you are good at math and physical sciences then those courses should not be too hard to you. If you are good at reading and writing then hum and sosc should be OK. You will be struggling on some your weak courses sometimes but you can definitely make it.

Yes you can strategically choose core courses to fit your need. Chicago’s core is not fixed. It consists of categories which consist of differnt courses. Beware of the quarter system which is very fast paced. I think most students do have time to enjoy the college life but take academics seriously.
