<p>As some of you know already, this year, UChicago will be accepting either the Common Application (open August 1) OR the Universal Application (open July 1). It’s an either-or option for you— you should choose only one method of submission, and we have no preference between the two. </p>
<p>This year, we are opening up the option for you to create an account with our website and begin working on portions of your UChicago Supplement early— even before the Common Application and Universal Application are open. Here’s some deets:</p>
<ul>
<li><pre><code> You may create a UChicago Account at getstarted.uchicago.edu
</code></pre></li>
<li><pre><code> You may create an account before you begin the Common Application or Universal Application OR we will create an account for you after you start the Common or Universal Application.
</code></pre></li>
<li><pre><code> The UChicago Supplement can be found and submitted in the UChicago Account. There is no advantage to you to submitting your supplement this early in the summer, so no need to rush— we just want you to be able to get a head start if you’d like to and to be able to familiarize yourself with our supplemental essay questions over your break.
</code></pre></li>
<li><pre><code> Students using the Common Application can submit the supplement either through a UChicago Account OR through the Common App Website. Students using the Universal App may only submit the supplement in their UChicago account. You will still need to complete the basic sections of either the Common Application or Universal Application in addition to our supplement for us to be able to consider your application complete.
