From CC to UChicago...possible?

Transfer Students
1

<p>I know this has been discussed somewhat before but I wanted to get as many direct responses as possible.</p>

<p>Is it possible to find a community college student who has transfered into Uchi? Chicago has been a dream school of mine for my time spent in college but I've heard rumors of CC students really, well, never getting in unless they had been accepted as freshman already. </p>

<p>so...My grades are all As, I'm involved in ECs with my school and outside, really involved with my work, in honors classes and blah blah more pretty good stuff. anyway, has it been done? can it be done? Uchi seems too good to be true and I've been given the perception that it is in my case.</p>

<p>Also, does visiting and doing a possible interview help? I am from Pennsylvania and plan on visiting in December. Would that affect admissions based on what others have experienced?</p>

<p>let me know if the visit is worth it or is this just a waste of the admission fee?</p>

<p>Yes and yes.</p>

<p>Although the fact you attend a CC will work against you. </p>

<p>And I don’t know what your case is, but often students at CCs are going there because they didn’t do well in high school. A poor high school record will hurt significantly.</p>

<p>Hard to say, but it’d probably help if your interview goes well. In any case, it’s not a deal breaker. </p>

<p>If your chances are poor to begin with and/or if visiting would be a financial burden, then I wouldn’t recommend it.</p>

<p>well, my highschool record is pretty bad but I am applying for junior status and my college grades are really good so I was hoping it would not weigh so much. if anyone has actually made it to UChicago from a CC I would love to hear some of what you went through.</p>

<p>The cost is no issue either, I’m taking a little vacation to chicago IL anyway so I figured a visit to the school was definitly in order.</p>
