<p>Why do you want to leave Chicago? Is there a specific reason? I'm just curious becaue I was accepted early there and would like to get the positive and negative about the college. How is the social atmosphere from the point of view of a URM? Is the work super hard (I've heard some things lol)? I'm not really big on grades and GPA and all that. Just wanna know how you handled the transition from hs to college. Are your classes stimulating in discussion? What classes did you take? Sorry for all the questions. I'm just curious. I can't assess your chances for those schools because I don't really believe in chances threads.</p>
