UChicago EA/ED Class of 2021

Hey guys. So are we going to start this discussion already. Who’s applying?

I am! Not sure if I want to do EA or ED though…do you think chances will be much better ED?

Anyone know when registration for alum interviews opens for EA applicants?

I plan on applying with my 3.1 gpa and no sat scores yet. Put a lot of thought into my essays. So for they’re great. I’m gonna wish you guys all luck.

What???!! Alumni interviews have already started on campus and local interviews begin September

Chicagoo!!! Im both excited and stressed to apply. My parents make fun of me for how passionate I am (I have a poster hanging up in my room) lol. Ive already started my suplement and its going pretty well. I also plan on applying EA. pls chance me on my chance thread. Thanks

@isv_cz does registration for local interviews start in September? How do we register for those interviews?

This link has all the information you’ll ever need on interviews

Everyone’s saying that, since there’s now an ED option available for Uchicago, the EA applicants will have much less chances of getting in. Do you guys think ED is actually your only choice to show to the university that you’re interested?

If you’re applying for need-based aid, UChicago will probably recognize that EA is a better choice for your family. Just my opinion, though.

I’m applying! I’m an international student. Is ED going to be less competitive than EA?

Applying for ED… December needs to come around sooner!

Applying ED. Chicago is need blind so whether you apply for aid or not wont affect your chances

UCHI WOO
This is my number one school right now and for the past few weeks I have been passing between states of utter panic and absolute excitement just thinking about the possibility of getting in/PROBABLY NOT GETTING IN.
But hey, why not, right?

AND HOW DO YOU GET AN INTERVIEW HOW DOES THIS WORK HELP

You request an interview after you’ve submitted your application. Upon submission, you’ll get a link to create a UChicago account. From your account you can request an interview and track the other elements of your application.

Even if you don’t get an interview it’s totally fine. My son was accepted EA and he didn’t have an interview nor did many of his friends.

how do you sign up for an interview? i can’t find it on the uchicago account

Just had my on-campus interview for Chicago! My interviewer was a fourth year at the College and was super nice. It went well and was pretty casual. I’ll be applying EA.

Hey everybody. I’m applying EA to Chicago as an econ major. I just wanted to post here to make me feel like results are a little bit closer.
