As we prepare to release your admissions decision on December 17th (late afternoon), we want to take this moment to say "thank you”—you are ALL amazing. You have poured out your hearts to trees, conjured up your own magical incantations, stretched your minds to the edges of the Earth, and looked back to find X. You are among the most brilliant, ambitious, and academically qualified students in the world.
Best wishes to you all,
James G. Nondorf
Dean of Admissions & Financial Aid

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.
