<p>The title really explains it. In this modern day and age, what does UChicago look for in its undergraduate applicants? </p>
<p>Uchicago has holistic admissions, so while they are looking for decent test scores and gpa, what they really want is you. They want to hear your story. Basically, they will be looking for a diverse student in many or at least focused in a few EC’s, and someone who they believe would make a good contribution to their college</p>
<p>All that^^, but in addition, look into the mailing they send out. I know they send out quite a flood but I think they do a good job giving prospective students a feel of Uchicago character. Basically, they are looking for kids that add to and fit in this distinctive community.</p>
