<p>i really have no idea what uchig admissions is looking for!</p>
<p>any comments/suggestions would help greatly!</p>
<p>after reading the other post, i've heard of a GPA system near my area where you're on a 5 point scale instead of 4.. and i think u just need to work on ur grades.. but u of c is not all numbers, it's ur character and desire to learn that matters..</p>
<p>Chicago doesn't look for anything specific. They're looking for qualified students who will add to campus life, not a generic transcript. No single thing on your transcript will rule you out, but, conversely, no single thing on your transcript will rule you in.</p>
<p>It's how compelling your overall story is that gets you into Chicago.</p>
<p>Someone posted a neat link which gives some insight into the admissions process here at Chicago. Check it out: <a href="http://www.scfun.net/sceduc-cl-newsweek.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.scfun.net/sceduc-cl-newsweek.pdf</a></p>
<p>You also might want to read this, which is right from the College: <a href="http://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/level3.asp?id=313%5B/url%5D">http://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/level3.asp?id=313</a></p>
<p>thanx both of you! =)</p>
<p>most people might say that your stats will toss you out of the game, but I got in with wayyyyyyyyyyyyy worst stats than you. You more than likely have good character so show your personality in those essays.</p>
<p>See? I say these things and nobody believes me.</p>
<p>haha thanx. i will keep working hard and i will keep extra mind of the essays! i really hope my grades don't hurt me! =) we will see.</p>
