My son will play football at UofC this fall and he’s in the same boat… sort of freaking out about surviving the UChicago culture. We live in Southern CA, he attends public H.S. in a small beach town, most of his H.S. friends are athletes, very few of his friends are AP/Honors students. He was hoping for Cornell or Yale, but they didn’t come through.

On his recruiting trip to UofC he felt most of the students seemed odd, other than the football players/athletes who were “more normal” in his words. Apparently many of the athletes go to parties at DePaul to meet “normal” people, haha, yikes! But my son decided to go for it! Chose the high-quality education and “prestige” of the Econ program. Hopefully it will all work out.

Sorry, probably doesn’t help much!
