Uchicago is very classist. It's very hard to get good grades or do extra curricular activities if your school doesn't even offer AP or you have to work at some fast food place to pay for bills. If you don't have the funds or time to retake tests, it's an unfortunate mark on your application. If you do get in, please make sure to fight for student worker's rights and give back to the community (instead of say, tutoring already wealthy "smart" kids for side money).

I only know one language and I’ve taken one honors class and one dual credit class because my counselors messed up my freshman year and they told me it’s “too late to start ap”. my act score was a 32 and my gpa i think is 3.4. does uchicago contact everyone? i don’t have any awards. ive done nothing.

Ludmilla Costa it’s very hard for international students to apply to us colleges, unless they’re paying for their tuition entirely or they’re very very high up on a list of some sort. the letter was essentially “hi, you seem like a smart person and this is our campus and we are interested in you applying to our school” also update: I went to one of the information meetings with my admissions counselor and they require you to live on campus for the first two years. my only problem is that they have a no pets policy too, which means i would have to look into rehoming my cat (legally my cat and everything), if I wanted to apply here which is making me reconsider my application.
