UChicago brings together a diversity of top minds from around the world. Every application goes through the same holistic review process, meaning that there's no one piece of information—academic and extracurricular records, essays, letters of recommendation, and SAT or ACT scores—that could tell us on its own whether or not you would be a good fit for the College. And that's really what this process is about: finding a college home that is a good fit for your personality and your plans.
The world-changing discoveries made at the University of Chicago are fueled by exposure to a diverse variety of viewpoints and arguments and the ability to respond to and discuss them. From round-tables at the House Table to debates in the dorm room, students at the University of Chicago have the freedom to openly refine ideas that work and question those that don’t. Learn more
