<p>libby,</p>
<p>so if I DO work hard next year, judging from my previous post (post # 159) do you think Chicago would be a reach, match, or safety for me?</p>

Do you guys weight the on campus interview more than the allumi interview, and if so is it a large or small difference?</p>
<p>Oops sorry! Libby, please disregard my last post!</p>
<p>To averagedes: Heaven.</p>
<p>When people ask me questions about "weighting" one part of an application more than another, I think, do you weight page 6 of a novel more than page 7? The important parts are the important parts, and they will always stand out for us.</p>
<p>That said, we treat on-campus interviews and alumni interviews the same. We don't question the alumni interviewer just because they are not on our campus, and we don't question our on-campus interviewers just because they're not alums.</p>
<p>Libby: Did you get my e-mail about the ACT scores?</p>
<p>Libby, thanks for the response, lets see if I can word my question better this time.

I think I may be reading too much into this, but do they have to be in paragraph form, or my I opt for something more...unconventional?</p>
<p>it is the University of Chicago... and it is the UNcommon app... still, wait for her answer lol.</p>

<p>Paragraph-length is fine; it doesn't have to be an actual paragraph.</p>
<p>neverborn, yes, and I answered it on the previous page.</p>
<p>Hi Libby~I'm so excited to know that there's one AO coming to Asia=) where can we check out the exact info of her visiting? We dun have any seasons in singapore (summer for the whole year, how scary is that ^.^), so is ur august still considered as spring?
I have another question. Our school doesn't rank and our exam report is different from the US format (A LEVEL). Will incomplete transcript put me into disadvantage? Are the international students judging against the American students or other international applicants (from the same country)?
Thank you so much =)</p>
<p>hi libby!</p>
<p>i would like to know if being a legacy helps at all during the admissions procress.</p>
<p>you might have already answered this, but oh well
can i get an interview without traveling to chicago?
i live in alabama, so chicago is an expensive trip for my family.<br>
i'm thinking alumni interviews or something</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>From the Freshman applicant admissions webpage:
Scheduling an Interview</p>
<p>...Alumni interviews are offered all over the world. You may request an alumni interview by logging into the online application after mid-September and clicking "Request an alumni interview."</p>
<p>The legacy question is a tough one. I'm pleased to report that we do not hold spaces for legacies. Usually in the reading process, we hold legacies to higher standards because they should know more about the school.</p>
<p>There's a book coming out called "Legacy" soon that should ruffle some feathers.</p>
<p>Isabel is the international admissions counselor, and she only reads files from overseas, so she has a very good understanding of different curricula, such as A-levels, the French Bac, and IB.</p>
<p>She usually goes to Asia in April or May.</p>
<p>Hey Libby, thanks for the reply. I would like to ask that whether the admission result(for both EA and RD) can be checked online. Have U chicago sent out the broshures and booklet to international students already?</p>
<p>Unfortunately we won't be sending paper materials to international applicants. We do send materials to international high schools, though. We are going to be e-mailing EA decisions, but probably not RN. International students get an e-mail either way.</p>
<p>Hi Libby!</p>
<p>Since when do you not send paper materials to international applicants? That can't be too good. I mean, I know that you have most materials online but having the paper materials (brochures and all) is just a different experience- I guess you could say it's more inviting to have the paper materials (if that makes sense). At least for me, I felt that having the viewbook in my hands gave me much insight into the character of Chicago, more so than just looking through materials online.</p>
<p>libby, does Uchicago have a strong oriental studies department?</p>
