UChicago 2015 Hopefuls

<p>@firelight I handed in my app for EA and i live in canada. It doesnt show how i can make an interview on my uchicago admissions account ? i emailed them and they didnt reply back. i want an interview :frowning: . what do i do ? </p>

<p>send instructions plz.</p>

<p>my essay single spaced was 1.5 pages :)</p>

<p>Three pages sadly…</p>

<p>First post ever :slight_smile:
All Chicago stuff is sent
Quite excited to go to this school! </p>

<p>Any internationals also looking for alumni interviews? Cant find it on the Uchicago Account?</p>

<p>Also doing IB?
I have heard that uchicago Adcom like people who do IB?</p>

<p>thanks but I do have a UChicago Account, but there’s nothing about alumni interviews on there… and I’m sensing that all internationals(or canadians) have the same problem?
what do we do??</p>

<p>AustriaPog= Do you do International Bacc Program? IB
Do you have predicted grades which go to the school?</p>

<p>nevermind about the interviews-- turns out there’s basically no alum available … :(</p>

<p>@wduwtn- no my school doesnt have IB AP or anything beyond the basics… and what do you mean by predicted grade which go to the school?</p>

<p>ahh its okay:)
Predicted grades only apply to IB kids…
Are you sure about the interviews?</p>

<p>oh okay :slight_smile: </p>

<p>yep here’s a link explaining why some of us don’t see the “request an interview” option in the UChicago account-- [Interviews</a> | The University of Chicago College Admissions](<a href=“http://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/visiting/interviews.shtml]Interviews”>http://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/visiting/interviews.shtml)</p>

<p>and i also phoned the office and they told me that there’s either no alum in my area or there’s very few and they’re already interviewing other people so there’s no space left. (i assumed toronto out of all the foreign cities would have alums but guess not… :()</p>

<p>i am in such a dis advantage living here in Toronto, Canada :(. Interview was one way i could have impressed the admissions committee! any possible way at all of getting an interview ?</p>

<p>p.s. i dont see any option on my uchicago account about showing interest in alumni interview. The deadline is Nov 8 and I applied EA!! ITS DUE TOMORROW :(</p>

<p>*Many students are unable to accommodate an interview; not scheduling an interview will have no impact on your admission decision. *</p>

<p>yea but my scores arent all that great so an interview would be nice.</p>

<p>I honestly don’t think interview will make up for any real or perceived deficiency.</p>

<p>The website seemed to imply that the interview was more for the student wanting to know about the school than the other way around… Does anyone know how true this is?</p>

<p>then why offer interviews in the first place ?</p>

<p>^ To know more about the school</p>

<p>^^ to keep alumni involved with the school and therefore happy to donate</p>

<p>its my first choice!!! if i dont enter ill be so depressed :´(</p>

<p>hahahhah lol</p>
