<p>I’m applying early. So excited! 2210 SAT as of right now waiting for october results. Seriously though I feel like you get a good feel for a school from their supp and chicagos essays are amazing!</p>
<p>EA applicant as well! Currently having panic attacks! 
Theater/Bio major right hurr.</p>
<p>I’m applying EA! I love Chicago. 2320 SAT, 800 800 800 SAT II. I’ve already written my supplemental essay (“something you weren’t looking for” prompt) - it’s about 600 words. I’ve actually been trying to convince myself the whole day to start my Why Chicago essay, but so far I haven’t written a single word…</p>
<p>I wrote my Why Chicago essay and my common app essay already, and now all i have to do is finish the extended essay. I chose the pose a question of your own. 
If Chicago had ED, I would totally commit to it. I am determined to get in. lol.</p>
<p>oh, and did you guys have/ will have your interview on campus or alumni? (for those who elected to have an interview)</p>
<p>EA here as well! Also, I had my interview in June…I signed up before I went to campus and it went well, so hopefully that helps! Can’t wait!</p>
<p>EA applicant as well. Now the real stress and waiting begins :(. Did any of y’all go on the facebook group for the 2015 group? They were fighting like cats and dogs haha!</p>
<p>haha nope I don’t know of that facebook group… I prefer college confidential over fb for discussing college though :)</p>

<p>Think I have a shot?</p>
<p>EA applicant here and I don’t have anything near what admiraljes has but I’m hoping my on-campus interview (Veteran’s day!) goes well and that I can perfect my essay(s) in time.</p>
<p>I’m applying here EA! Don’t know too much about the school though, or if I even have a chance.</p>
<p>Basic stats-2300, top 10%, study three languages, captain of sports teams, award for speech competitions, published research/awards for research</p>
<p>Essays aren’t amazing though.</p>
<p>I feel the same as you, Treehugga. Good/decent numbers and extracurriculars (hopefully my small-townness balances my lack of research lol) but I’m having trouble coming up with a good essay…</p>
<p>Hi all! Joining the nervous sweaty EA bandwagon…I have three different half-drafts of the extended essay and I have no idea which to pick.</p>
<p>For interviews, I thought that you could only arrange one after you’ve submitted your app, is that wrong? How can I set one up?</p>
<p>@dugong
I already had an on campus interview back in August even though I didn’t submit my application yet. I’m not sure how it works for alumni interview. You should check their website.</p>
<p>Which prompt is everyone doing for the extended essay?</p>
<p>My interview is coming up! I’ll probably sweat from every pore possible nonstop. Cheers, my fellow EA prospects! :)</p>
<p>UChicago is my reach school. My average is good, but I don’t think it’s good enough (mind you, it’s 97.34 weighted, around a 93 unweighted), mostly because I didn’t want to stress myself out for those extra few points (I don’t deal well with stress). I have some extracurriculars. I’ve been involved in mostly band-related stuff, such as musicals, though I’m also the drum major of a local volunteer marching band. I’m the president of my school’s anime club, and am a member of our gaming club (D&D, board games, and children’s card games), as well as our MS Awareness club. That’s the basic stuff. I’ve been involved in several other things for short periods of time.</p>
<p>SAT: 2050 (690 CR, 650 Math, 710 Writing) (Not surprised with the writing score. Writing is my strong point.)
SAT IIs: 720 World History, TBA Math 2 (scores in two days)</p>
<p>So yeah, not an overly strong candidate. Again, it’s more of a “reach” school for me. Currently writing my supplemental essay while listening to one of the Doctor Who themes.</p>
<p>Officially sent in my application, AHHHHHHH!</p>
<p>question-I checked off the “interested in an alumni interview?” box, but nothing has happened…are they supposed to email me? I’m a bad writer, but “people skills” are my strength, so I really want to have the oppurtunity to have one!</p>
<p>Early Action applicants - make sure to tweet/ email ViewChicago today: <a href=“https://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/viewchicago/[/url]”>https://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/viewchicago/</a></p>

<p>I’m applying EA as well, though my stats are not comparable in the least to any of yours. Someone mentioned a facebook group? Can somebody link that?</p>
