<p>When sending December ACT for regular decision, do you need to send “priority” report?
I know you do not want SAT score rushes, but I would just like confirmation for ACT.</p>
<p>And for regular decision, can I send it AFTER I see my scores for December ACT? Or must I select UChicago as a recipient before I can see my scores?</p>
<p>Hello Grace!</p>
<p>1) Im applying EA, but if my ACT scores will be sent after the deadline it is still ok, right? or should I apply for regular decision (Im also an intl student and im applying for fin aid)?
2) Im afraid part of my application will be sent via mail and another online, can it be a problem?
3) are there any tutoring jobs available for undergrad students?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>hey all ,
I’m an international student and I do have some questions :
1- the website says “for internationals applying for financial aid the selectivity is very competitive” , and honestly this is kinda freaken’ me out !!! does anyone knows how competitive ??? any numbers ??
2- one of the major obstacles 4 me as an international student, non native English speaker , is SAT !! does anyone know the average SAT score for international students admitted at UoC ??
thnx :D</p>
<p>Are we allowed to take 1 or 2 parts of a 3 quarter sequence and then finish the sequence the year after? For example, with 15100-15200-15300 Harmony and Voice Leading, the classes must be taken in sequence, but can I take say 15100 one year and then 15200-15300 the next? Thanks! :)</p>
<p>Are any sat2s required in the application? If they aren’t, is it worth sending them anyway?</p>
<p>I’m not part of PSAC, but</p>
<p>^^^ It’s really competitive, and I would expect a international student needing financial aid to have higher SATs than average. If you search the forum, people have talked about this in the past. Numbers probably vary widely from year to year, but basically, expect to get rejected. Of course, still apply if you like the school, just be aware that it’s a long shot.</p>
<p>^ No, they’re not, but you should send them anyway if they’re good. I sent mine (2360).</p>
<p>@134:</p>
<p>I’m not part of PSAC either, but I’m an entering freshman. Don’t quote me on any of this since I haven’t really attended the school yet, but I went to Prospective Students’ Weekend. I sat in on a class where I met a current student who told me that she was completing that quarter after not having taken the class for a year. She suggested against splitting that sequence. I guess it’d depend on the class, but it seems like you can complete one quarter one year and the other two the next year.</p>
<p>Grace,
Is it possible to submit two essay prompts instead of one? And do you know if they have to be in English? I am considering doing my essay a bit differently, but there will be a translation.</p>
<p>Hey guys, I no longer “officially” post on this thread but I’m happy to answer these few questions in the absence of new-PSAC. </p>
<p>@deliveryboy, no SAT II scores are required for application. You can send them if you want, but you are definitely not required to.</p>
<p>@x1397, you may triple major, although triple majoring is quite rare and really only possible between closely related disciplines (chemistry, biochemistry, and biology, for example). Double majoring is much more common, and is a more realistic option for the majority of students. </p>
<p>@navbiha, through the Online Application you will only be able to submit one UChicago-specific essay, and (although the space is generous) it is space-limited. I would encourage you to choose one prompt that you think suits you best, and write on that prompt, or else try to weave your two desired prompts together in the “create your own prompt” style. Additionally, I’d encourage you strongly to write in English, as although you say a translation will be present, the non-English essay will most likely be something that few people in the office are actually able to read, and therefore not useful to you. Contact your regional counselor to make sure, but I’d say most likely no on that question.</p>
<p>^ hey grace could you go back to page 40 and answer my previous questions :D</p>
<p>@Stars, I can’t answer your ACT question- some of those are things you should ask your regional counselor, and some you should ask the ACT providers. As for scholarships, UChicago routinely offers financial aid packages in the $30k+ range to students who demonstrate such need. For merit scholarships, full tuition awards are quite rare but do happen (unless you are the child of Chicago active duty police or fire personnel) - but most awards are in the $10k/$5k range, and even those are hard to come by.</p>
<p>OK thanks.
One last question;
How likely is it that I, as an international applicant, could be admitted without financial aid, although I did apply for financial aid?
Or if I apply for financial aid, it’s only possible to be accepted with financial aid or rejected?
Thanks again!</p>
<p>Can someone (OP) tell me , sell me, on the value of studying computer science at Uof C - vs say NU ,or UIUC? </p>
<p>What is the employer demand of a U of C grad with a major in compsci? Compare the employer demand to a compsci major out of UIUC or NU.</p>
<p>my son is a rising hs sr from the chicago area. He has shown an interest and aptitude for comp sci. He visited Uof C campus last w/e and he seemed to like the vibe.</p>
<p>Students are allowed to triple major, although at least two of those majors would have to heavily overlap (think: biology, chemistry, and biochemistry, or biology, chemistry, and physics). </p>
<p>We do have a sailing club that’s pretty popular on campus - you can find out more at sailclub.uchicago.edu</p>
<p>Thanks Grace for helping out in our absence! We (Ryan and Karissa) will be sure to check back frequently to answer all of your questions.</p>
<p>You can take part of a sequence and then finish the rest of it later. This is common with math classes, as a yearlong sequence started in the winter will not end until fall of the next year. Like insomniac suggested, returning to a class a full year later may not be recommended, but nobody will stop you.</p>
<p>For the supplement questions U of Chicago asks for, is there a preferred length?</p>
<p>any input on post nmbr 613 - how well regarded (especially by employers) is a degree with a compsci major from chi?</p>
<p>also, psac said–</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>what are the eligibility criteria for each?</p>
<p>finally, mwpop asked about arch/anthro from the mw. I have heard that nearby Beloit College is good in those disciplines. YOur kid’s 34 might be favorably looked upon, too, as far as FA goes.

<p>but it looks like the coa is around 42k.</p>

<p>roderick, I was wondering about the CS dept as well. I just checked their web site. Faculty members are involved in all kinds of interesting research projects. I was totally unaware of presence of [Toyota</a> Technological Institute of Chicago](<a href=“http://www.tti-c.org/]Toyota”>http://www.tti-c.org/) on campus. Very interesting …</p>
<p>This isn’t quite an admissions question, but hopefully someone can help me out.
I’m starting at Chicago this September and wondering:
Should I bring my snowboard?
I don’t want to drag it all the one there for nothing, but then I wouldn’t want to be without it if the chance came up. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>developed, did you know that U Chicago is in the state known as the ‘Prairie State’?</p>
